The latest from our lab - and my first major paper - is now available online at NeuroImage: Clinical and I have to say, it's an absolute banger! Huge thanks to @bstojanoski @Comadork and @_laura_glz for their hard work on this one!

At long last, our most recent work on examining residual cognitive abilities in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) is out! https://t.co/C02PvZHkuJ. An amazing job by @Geofflaforge who led the way! Very excited to share this work 1/4

@WajahatAli How dare you point out the laughably transparent effort to coordinate astroturfed support for a hyper-AIPAC-funded establishment Dem.

It's been over a month now so...I'm delighted to announce that I joined the Department of Neurology at the University of Utah as a Research Analyst. I'll be working on the autonomic sequelae of traumatic brain injury, investigating how the (injured) brain and body interact.

@Comadork @hmcanada Is it possible to create a consciousness meter?

Philosophers: "No."
Scientists: "Maybe."
H&M: "Hold my beer."

It has been an absolute honour to work on this project and with such an amazing team of scientists, including @lorettaenorton, @MaratSlessarev, @DebickiDerek, Teneille Gofton (not on Twitter), and many others.

"Our results from this small cohort suggest that cerebral cortical activity does not persist after circulatory arrest."

"Across participants, EEG activity stopped at a median of 78 seconds before circulatory arrest. Following withdrawal of life sustaining measures there was a progressive reduction in [EEG] amplitude, spectral power, and coherence."

@NeuroBeats @WesternU @WATS_UWO If anyone sees this beauty riding around, I'm sure @HoddiNeuron would like it back.

@Comadork @WesternU Fully in-person and mostly in picture. Fantastic lab meeting today and absolutely phenomenal co-talk by @karnig_kazazian and @MatthewKolisny1.

I am delighted to announce that I received my first cold-call application from a student wanting to work in my lab. Their research interests are not even remotely aligned with mine, they already have a Ph.D., and I do not have a lab. Friends, today, I became a real scientist.
