Happy to present #py_neuromodulation from our preprint on invasive neurophysiology and connectomics for neural decoding at the @BernsteinNeuro #BernsteinConference @bccn_berlin:
A #Python-based feature estimation and decoding platform for human BCI.🧵https://t.co/Jb43hCYG8S

Just came across this gem: https://t.co/pURxTusiTD
Apparently #matplotlib allows you to change that minus signs are exported directly to pdf joined with the digit.. Changed way too many manually in Adobe Illustrater / Affinity Designer.. Small lifehack :D

New research from @MerkTimon @neumann_wj & collaborators demonstrate the use of brain signal decoding for neuromodulation covering key innovation domains for neurotech. across >123 h of brain signals from 70 patients who had treatment with brain implants

It will allow to study longitudinal invasive brain signals in combination with high-resolution behavior! In this way we can learn how the brain encodes diseases and behavior and how those can be used for future neuromodulation therapies!

Happy to share that for me a new chapter started! I finished last year my PhD working with @neumann_wj in the @ICNeuromodulate Lab at @ChariteBerlin.
It was an amazing time and I am very thankful for the working environment in that lab, the amazing supervision, great people

[Timon Merk @MerkTimon]

I now joined the newly formed lab of @NicoleProvenza in Houston at @bcmhouston! I am very excited to work in this unique environment at the neurosurgery department of @SameerShethMD.

[Timon Merk @MerkTimon]

That's amazing! So well deserved!

[Zixiao Yin @zixiao_yin]

So so honored! Big shout out to the great team in #Tiantanhospital and the always-awesome @neumann_wj & @ICNeuromodulate who helped improve the presentation so much!!

📢OPEN PHD POSITION 📢

Looking for a PhD and interested in neuromodulation?

Then come work with me, @_PetraRitter and the @Retune_CRC community on modeling deep brain stimulation from a network-science perspective 😊

Please retweet!

[Lukas Goede @LLGoede]

Can we stimulate brain networks identified using deep brain stimulation from the outside, in a non-invasive fashion?

At @Brain_Circuits, we believe, we can!

Our first randomized clinical trial demonstrating this concept is just out in @MDJ_Journal: https://t.co/zuutgK4Evo

Thanks so much for having me! It was really an honour to visit the Tiantan Hospital in Beijing. You were all so friendly and welcoming!

[Ruoyu Ma @ruoyu_Rachel]

Happy time with Timon @MerkTimon and Zixiao @zixiao_yin welcome (back) to Beijing!

Large-scale global flood forecasting has been out of reach for a long time. In our Nature paper published today we show how breakthroughs in AI can close the gap & provide reliable flood predictions even in regions that previously lacked data. Learn more: https://t.co/A35HyTczZr

@neuralink That's amazing! So cool to see how BCIs can be used to change daily living of patients!

Happy to present this week at the WIRED conference in #Paris a poster on responsive neuromodulation parameter optimization in epilepsy. Many thanks for the great collaboration with @RMarkRichardson, @neumann_wj, @vpeterson09 and others from @brainmodlab!

Super excited to announce that my preprint is finally out! Our study combines invasive electrophysiology, whole brain networks and neurotransmitter uptake to reveal a link between cortical beta and dopamine uptake in the brain.
