Wonderful to host @AFornito (@MonashUni ) at our Cognitive Brain Dynamics Seminar series today! ๐ง
He walked us through geometric eigenmodes from their recent Nature paper and how they serve as a structural basis for large-scale brain network dynamics, as well as recent developments based on these ideas. Great talk followed by a rich discussion on where this goes next.
Thanks to everyone who joined!

๐ง Can we change what sounds people *hear* by tuning their brain rhythms?
Our new preprint, led by Shreya, Debottam, and @VinseaAv from CBDL, is now live on bioRxiv address this research question! tACS at & around a person's Individual Alpha Frequency (IAF) reduced illusory /ta/ sound percepts in the McGurk effect (n=27), leaving congruent syllables intact. A Kuramoto model provides a mechanistic account of the pattern and neuromodulatory effect on the behavioural alterations.

Thrilled to share that our latest paper, "A generalized scaling law reveals synchrony-driven reorganization of brain dynamics across the human lifespan," now out in @PLOSCompBiol Thanks to all the wonderful collaborators in this work.

๐ Thrilled to share that our latest paper, "A generalized scaling law reveals synchrony-driven reorganization of brain dynamics across the human lifespan," has been accepted by @PLOSCompBiol! Led by brilliant Suman Saha with a fantastic group of collaborators, Syamal Dana, Priyanka Chakraborty, Tomasz Kapitaniak, Chittaranjan Hens, @arpansview, Gustavo Deco ๐ง , we extend Taylor's law to signed brain signals using the RMS of detrended activity. We propose a completely new metric of scaling, fully analytically derived and tested numerically on various distributions. We foresee that a great many applications could potentially emerge from this theoretical framework. Thanks @iitjodhpur@DBT_NBRC@IndiaDST@DBTIndia for continuing support for aging brain studies from the Cognitive Brain Dynamics Lab.
๐ฅ In 840 people aged 18โ88, aging steadily weakens the synchronyโscaling link
๐ฌ The link holds at rest but reorganizes during naturalistic tasks
๐งฉ Strongest in limbic, subcortical, and cerebellar networks
โ๏ธ Disrupted in ADHD, a promising clinical marker
The framework reaches beyond the brain to any complex system, from climate to ecology to finance.

Your Brain Spends Twenty Years Learning to Argue With Itself - Daily Neuron covers a wonderful piece of our recent commentary for general audience by George Seeman. https://t.co/C7RMRSh5Va
๐ง Latest from Cognitive Brain Dynamics Lab: a New commentary published in @CommsBio: brain regions don't just "cooperate" โ 25-40% of connections are competitive, conserved across humans, macaques & mice. Adding this to whole-brain models boosts fit from r=0.42โ0.87, with big implications for aging & neurodegeneration.
Based on the original work by Luppi and colleagues in Nature Neuroscience 2026
