Exciting findings for neuromodulation! Early involvement of posterior and anterior thalamic nuclei in TLE.

Not so long ago...

Can we efficiently learn models of collective dynamics in multimodal discrete-continuous time-series, e.g. spike-LFP? We develop a new multimodal subspace identification method to do so & enable causal multimodal decoding! 👏Parima Ahmadipour Omid Sani J Neural Eng paper, code,🧵⬇️

Brain waves ≠ noise—they optimize computation via resonance & synchronization. Heterogeneity in oscillations enhances efficiency, biological variability is a feature, not a flaw. the brain computes via wave interference, enabling distributed processing. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Commendable approach and results translatable across treatment modalities.

Briefly breaking my twitter silence to mention that I am hiring, postdocs, PhDs and admin folks to found a new institute for network stimulation in Cologne, Germany! More info on the other platform: bsky.app/profile/andrea… Please RT for reach! 🙏🙏

Super excited to share our new lab preprint showing that human pulvinar stimulation engages select cortical pathways by Jordan Bilderbeek, with Kai J. Miller, PhD, MD, PhD Gregory Worrell Harvey Huang Jamie Van Gompel MD Peter Brunner Jon T. Willie, MD, PhD and others biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Anthropic figured out how to trace thought-like circuits inside its AI, Claude. It links abstract concepts like “smallness” or “bridge” in chains to reason, plans in poems, and does weird mental math. technologyreview.com/2025/03/27/111…

Fokas et al. reexamine the impact of transcallosal inhibition on stroke recovery and find no strong evidence that it hinders motor function. Their findings suggest a need to rethink neuromodulatory strategies targeting this pathway. tinyurl.com/yp6uxzef

Are we getting closer to noninvasive temporal interference stimulation instead of DBS? Maybe? DBS has been such an effective Parkinson's therapy, that as we seek citius, altius, fortius; the swifter, higher and stronger approaches, we realize that the mountain is quite steep.

…mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md… 🚨 Happy to share our latest work in Movement Disorders Journal! This study tackles key questions about bilateral #FocusedUltrasound (#HIFU) for #EssentialTremor and offers new insights to help advance the field. Here are the key points 🧵👇 1️⃣ Is bilateral #HIFU as

LLMs Mimic Human Cognitive Dissonance GPT-4o, a large language model, has been shown to display behavior resembling cognitive dissonance, a key feature of human psychology. When prompted to write an essay either supporting or opposing Vladimir Putin, its subsequent “opinion”

Can you 'zap' the brain with focused ultrasound if you have a DBS lead in place? A new possible twist for cases w/ both tremor and Parkinson's. For the first time, at least that I have read, focused ultrasound (FUS) thalamotomy was successfully used in a person who already had
