Congratulations to Professor Geoffrey E. Hinton Geoffrey Hinton, the founding director of Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit UCL Faculty of Life Sciences, who has today been awarded the #NobelPrize in Physics for his pioneering work enabling machine learning ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/oct/…

Just as I thought understanding a bit of the science behind a Nobel prize is the most unlikely thing that could happen to me this week, the prize goes to someone I shared an office with at some point. Congratulations to Demis Hassabis and great honour for Department of Imaging Neuroscience UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology

It's an amazing Nobel week for Queen Square as two people who worked at No. 12 and No. 17-19 get two Nobel prizes in two consecutive days. Not sure there is another location where this kind of coincidence has ever happened. UCL ICN Department of Imaging Neuroscience UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology UCL Brain Sciences UCL

Prof. Vladimir Litvak find me @vlitvak.bsky.social UCL ICN Department of Imaging Neuroscience UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology UCL Brain Sciences UCL It's unbelievable!!! That two computer scientists would get a Nobel prize in physics and chemistry!!! Truly science has become full scale interdisciplinary and everyone now has to acknowledge this 😀

Congratulations to @UCL alumnus Sir Demis Hassabis on being awarded the #NobelPrize in Chemistry. The Google DeepMind co-founder & CEO, previously based Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit and UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, is honoured for using AI to predict the structure of almost all known proteins ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/oct/…


Looking forward to Prof. Vladimir Litvak find me @vlitvak.bsky.social ‘s talk next week at Maastricht Uni FPN ! Title: “Using MEG to study cortico-subcortical oscillatory connectivity in Parkinson’s disease”. Time/location: Tue 29/10 at 2pm, Tongeren zaal, Universiteitssingel 40. All welcome!


Great work from @s_sumarac Kiah Spencer Leon Amadeus Steiner et al!



If you are not happy with the current science publishing system, take a look at #PCIManifesto and get involved. I haven’t heard about it until today’s cuttingEEG session but I’m already sold and will see how I can contribute. peercommunityin.org/pci-manifesto/


Tune in to the new Stimulating Brains episode with none else than Nanthia Suthana here 👇👇

Great to see Kemi Badenoch as the Conservatives new leader. She comes from a minority group badly underrepresented in politics - rational people with STEM background.



Are STN beta bursts the best biomarker of bradykinesia for adaptive DBS? Maybe not....as we show here in this collaboration with Phil Starr and Simon Little from UCSF. …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md…

Smart brain implants are helping people with Parkinson’s disease and other disorders. In this article for The Conversation, Prof Prof. Vladimir Litvak find me @vlitvak.bsky.social (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology) takes a look at the advantages and challenges of this revolutionary treatment. buff.ly/DNSsw0B
