Professor @UNM. Here / not "here" to contribute to EEG research and open data practices. Find me @jimfcav.bsky.social instead

Big news.

Obviously it's not nihilistic enough to post to this hellscape.

Come to @jimfcav.bsky.social to see.

@NadjaGingJehli Our work from a great collaboration now out at Brain Stimulation: https://t.co/cmTVmWx7aO

We find that 4 Hz STN stimulation in *humans* changes decision thresholds:

New paper coming out in BP:CNNI soon. I'll post a link to paper and data when available. But I'm done posting here.

Hogeveen et al., contrary to predictions, found no evidence of clinically significant depression after adolescent mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Depression in youth post-mTBI may not be as significant as in adults. Read at: https://t.co/pbYA6wcmsM @JeremyHogeveen @JimCav

To keep it short: Bug or feature?
If stim to pre-response evidence is naturally confounded b/c it's a continual process, then removing stim variance from resp ... uhhh removes the effect.

Yay! Thanks to @DaveSegar, @JimCav, and @LnccBrown and others for an awesome collab! 🤩 We’re excited to share our findings on how complementary dynamics in the basal ganglia contribute to behavioral adaptability! 🧠🤓

[James F Cavanagh @JimCav]

@froemero1 @amitaishenhav @NassarLab It reminds me of *old* lit on the P3b. Reasonably rapid RTs reliably occur at the peak of P3b. But slow RTs are ~shrug~ . Seems like there's a clear first-order accumulation effect, but also a later hidden (to EEG) process on more complex decisions.

[James F Cavanagh @JimCav]

@amitaishenhav Half way through it right now.

[James F Cavanagh @JimCav]

@OgundipeOre I think we have the data.

We're just lazy about sharing it.

Inexcusable, now that there are options: @OpenNeuroOrg

[James F Cavanagh @JimCav]

@AmitEtkin @JAMAPsych Finally. A major outlet breaks from fMRI fever and looks around at what else is out there. Hey guess what! It's better!

[James F Cavanagh @JimCav]

@timmytimmytim Bold statement. I don't fully disagree. But it's easy to quantify one event at one electrode (e.g. 'the ERN'), obviating multi-corr problems. The stereotyped and highly reliable nature of primitive computations make reverse inf. more viable. In sum: it's less of a problem.

Key for new biomarkers and treatments.

@VincentCostaPhd This could be a good thread.

For 20+ years, my brain has said these HAVE TO be the colors:

DA=red, NE=green, Ach=yellow, 5-HT=blue.
