✨ Exciting news! I've accepted an offer from @Meta as a Research Scientist Intern in May 2025 in NYC! I am looking forward to contributing to groundbreaking neuroscience and tech research, enhancing human-computer interaction through wearable EMG interfaces.

🧠👶 Excited to share our latest work: 3-month-old infants can form long-term memories of new voices after familiarisation and a nap! Using EEG, we discovered that sleep spindles are associated with the emerging memory representation of the new voice.

[Tim Näher @NaherTim]

These findings highlight that fNIRS, with its portability and non-invasive nature, can be a powerful alternative to other neuroimaging techniques when paired with data analysis methods specifically tailored for it.

[Tim Näher @NaherTim]

🚀 Excited to share our latest preprint on using Riemannian Geometry to classify brain states with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)!

After that, we combine the kernel matrices into a block diagonal matrix. Our method achieves 96% accuracy in binary classification and 65% in 8-class classification of mental imagery tasks.

[Tim Näher @NaherTim]

🎯 We introduce a classification framework that leverages the dual nature of the fNIRS signal. This approach significantly outperforms traditional classification methods by applying separate kernel functions and regularizations to each chromophore.

Many thanks to our co-authors, and employees and visitors of the NEMO museum 💚

Almost 1,000 museum visitors donate their data per month, so I’m looking forward to adding more to OSF soon! #openscience

5/ 🙏 Grateful for the help of all coauthors Yufeng, @m_pandinelli, and Pascal, and their invaluable contributions!

Excited to share our new #preprint on primate saccade rhythmicity! We investigated temporal saccade dynamics in humans & macaques, revealing theta rhythmicity, however only under specific conditions. 🐒👀 https://t.co/Cg2F15ZEWS

[Tim Näher @NaherTim]

4/ 🧠 Our insights indicate that while primate saccades aren’t perfectly regular, they can exhibit strong rhythmicity under certain conditions, suggesting a balance between predictability and visual system flexibility across tasks. 🔄👁️

Attention and microsaccades: do attention shifts trigger new microsaccades or only bias ongoing microsaccades? https://t.co/OZfdWos1jf #biorxiv_neursci

[Lisa Bastian @LisaBastian19]

Great work by @NaherTim and his colleagues at the @FriesLab! They explore saccade rhythmicity under different free-viewing conditions, in both, humans and macaques 👀

Do you like them neural manifolds?

Then check our latest preprint "Neural manifolds in V1 change with top-down signals from V4 targeting the foveal region" 👀🧠💫

Going to #OHBM ? Here’s a sneak peak of my results for my poster on rsfMRI-based subtyping in Alcohol Use Disorder! Come chat with me Tues & Weds at poster number 1757 to hear all the details 🧠 @AZilverstand @OHBM @UMN_Psychiatry @UMN_MDTA #OHBM2023

[Tim Näher @NaherTim]

Come check out our work on the role of sleep for long-term memory formation in infants 👶 #CNS2023 @LisaBastian19

[Leyla Brucar @LeylaBrucar]

My 1st first-author paper of my PhD is out in @BiologicalPsyc1! We wrote a systematic review of psychiatric brain-based subtyping, providing an overview of methodological practice, progress&limitations in this field
