Hello I am a North American journalist and op Ed writer. For the last 18 months my dang computer has been auto correcting all of my writing and posts to say that what’s happening in Gaza is complicated but necessary. What I actually meant is that it’s bad. Thank you

Happy to share our latest study led by @TantanBrainMan and our team @UCSF out today in Nature BME! Movement Responsive AI programmed BCI-aDBS improves naturalistic motion and reduces excessive movements at rest in PD.

Check out our paper ‘Ignoring the cerebellum is hindering progress in neuroscience’ in @TrendsCognSci! With @BangjieWang and @AmandaLeBel3 we quantify the extent of cerebellar exclusion in the neuroimaging literature and discuss reasons/fixes sciencedirect.com/science/ar… 🧵⬇️

Our speaker this week is Nick Trapp @NickTrapp13 speaking on "Exploring Depression Networks with Brain Lesions, TMS, and Intracranial Electrophysiology," Wed, Oct 23, 130PM EST at the usual Zoom. DM me your email if not on our list for the link.

1/ I've long wondered why executive function in childhood predicts life outcomes. Why does juggling information in mind, shifting between tasks, and controlling our impulses matter so much? I'm increasingly convinced that our early answers missed something fundamental.

Journalists at CNN and the BBC have exposed the inner workings of their newsrooms, alleging pro-Israel bias in coverage of the war on Gaza, as well as systematic double standards and frequent violations of journalistic principles ⤵️ aje.io/ric9cw

Auditory masking of TMS has a clear beneficial effect.
Cleans artifact signal in primary auditory cortex, as one would expect, but also changes the iEEG response in other brain areas.
Out today in @brainstimj by @NickTrapp13, Eric Tsang and team.

“data does not match what we know from rodents”. What is it with the obsession of rodent work in these high impact journals? I get that mice are cute but some of us aim at helping patients..

Preprint 🚨 This one is important for invasive #Parkinson #neurotech of the future. Deep brain stimulation suppresses oscillatory hyperdirect pathway communication. So does dopamine! Check our #Parkinson study spearheaded by @ECN_Berlin #PhD @tsbinns 🧵

Granger causality and time-delay analyses revealed that dopamine and DBS decrease monosynaptic input to the STN. This has important implications for motor control and beyond, e.g. global inhibition as studied by @swaziadam and @Wessel_Lab.

Research assistant opportunity (6 months): Come and work with us on a TMS ⚡️ project looking at causal and temporal role of prefrontal areas in selective attention. More details: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/45975/ DM @Jade_BJackson to chat.

By wirelessly recording signals from deep-brain stimulators in patients with Parkinson's disease in an outpatient setting, Soh et al. show that the STN – known for its role in motor control – also exerts control over non-motoric, attentional processes. tinyurl.com/mvuwy785

In our work that was recently accepted in @Brain1878 , we have shown that the subthalamic nucleus is causally involved with attentional suppression. More summary in @Wessel_Lab 's post.
I appreciate Jan for giving me an opportunity to lead this cool project.
Interested in the basal ganglia? Attention & its executive control? Domain-general inhibition? Deep-brain stimulation? Would you like to record LFPs from subcortical nuclei outside of the OR? Check out our new preprint, accepted in @Brain1878: osf.io/6t3hm

Error checking is an important service to science, but it doesn't pay the bills. But what if it did? Introducing ERROR, a bug bounty program for science to systematically detect and report errors in academic publications error.reviews/
