Happy to present #py_neuromodulation from our preprint on invasive neurophysiology and connectomics for neural decoding at the @BernsteinNeuro #BernsteinConference @bccn_berlin:
A #Python-based feature estimation and decoding platform for human BCI.🧵doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-321…
Just came across this gem: matplotlib.org/3.8.4/gallery…
Apparently #matplotlib allows you to change that minus signs are exported directly to pdf joined with the digit.. Changed way too many manually in Adobe Illustrater / Affinity Designer.. Small lifehack :D

New research from @MerkTimon @neumann_wj & collaborators demonstrate the use of brain signal decoding for neuromodulation covering key innovation domains for neurotech. across >123 h of brain signals from 70 patients who had treatment with brain implants

Happy to share that for me a new chapter started! I finished last year my PhD working with @neumann_wj in the @ICNeuromodulate Lab at @ChariteBerlin.
It was an amazing time and I am very thankful for the working environment in that lab, the amazing supervision, great people
I now joined the newly formed lab of @NicoleProvenza in Houston at @bcmhouston! I am very excited to work in this unique environment at the neurosurgery department of @SameerShethMD.
That's amazing! So well deserved!
So so honored! Big shout out to the great team in #Tiantanhospital and the always-awesome @neumann_wj & @ICNeuromodulate who helped improve the presentation so much!!

📢OPEN PHD POSITION 📢
Looking for a PhD and interested in neuromodulation?
Then come work with me, @_PetraRitter and the @Retune_CRC community on modeling deep brain stimulation from a network-science perspective 😊
Please retweet!

Can we stimulate brain networks identified using deep brain stimulation from the outside, in a non-invasive fashion?
At @Brain_Circuits, we believe, we can!
Our first randomized clinical trial demonstrating this concept is just out in @MDJ_Journal: doi.org/10.1002/mds.29940

Thanks so much for having me! It was really an honour to visit the Tiantan Hospital in Beijing. You were all so friendly and welcoming!

Large-scale global flood forecasting has been out of reach for a long time. In our Nature paper published today we show how breakthroughs in AI can close the gap & provide reliable flood predictions even in regions that previously lacked data. Learn more: goo.gle/49bRqVG

Have a passion for bioinformatics and human motor control?👋🧠😃
Apply today for this brilliant opportunity to join our new team as a Ph.D. student or Postdoc to identify the brain mechanisms underlying human gait and motor control

Happy to present this week at the WIRED conference in #Paris a poster on responsive neuromodulation parameter optimization in epilepsy. Many thanks for the great collaboration with @RMarkRichardson, @neumann_wj, @vpeterson09 and others from @brainmodlab!

Super excited to announce that my preprint is finally out! Our study combines invasive electrophysiology, whole brain networks and neurotransmitter uptake to reveal a link between cortical beta and dopamine uptake in the brain.

Just came across this #BCI podcast @neurotechpub from @paradromics. This episode features the first participant with an invasive BCI restoring movement and touch! open.spotify.com/episode/7oA… Wish I knew that earlier! 😁 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
