[Alexander von Lühmann @avolu_neurotech]

How much does #fNIRS signal quality depend on factors like hair and skin type, and how does that affect inclusivity? ☝🏿☝🏾☝🏼
See the preprint of our study with 115 participants that quantifies the answer, lead by a great team around @MeryemAYucel and @BoasDavid at @BU_NPC

[Boston University Biomedical Engineering @BostonU_BME]

BMES is off to an exciting start! Don’t miss the impressive presentations by our talented students and faculty happening throughout the conference today! @hadi_nia @tm_oshea @samagyabanskota @jixincheng

[Michael Hasselmo @HasselmoMichael]

Interesting talk from Prof Ryan Raut (@ryanvraut) from @AllenInstitute @UW on "Unifying systems neuroscience through arousal dynamics” in today’s seminar jointly sponsored by @buCSNneuro and @BU_NPC /NRT. Thanks Prof. Emily Stephen (@emilyps14) for hosting!

[Center for Systems Neuroscience, Boston University @buCSNneuro]

New study in @NatureComms from the lab of CSN researcher Xue Han (@xuehan) “Beta-frequency sensory stimulation enhances gait rhythmicity through strengthened coupling between striatal networks and stepping movement.” READ>>https://t.co/feJMREehQ6
