New paper on skin sensation effects of different stimulation waveforms with @ForouzanV and @lucas_c_parra: https://t.co/m1QPSOUDCj
We show that conventional waveforms are best for minimizing sensation during tDCS and tACS, and that arm sensation is comparable to that on the head.

Here is the preprint of our findings on a robust effect of 4mA tDCS on motor learning! @ Duke Shereen @LeonardoGCohen @lucas_c_parra w/ huge thanks to @andypotato and @asrc_gc

In @brainstimj by @gav_hsu @ForouzanV @lucas_c_parra There is a decades old (interferential TENS...) & ongoing debate (Temporally Interfering tES...) over kHz "carriers" to deliver lower frequency waveforms *painlessly* through the skin.
Seems maybe not? https://t.co/Df97wR65Na

Did you know that our brains, pupils, gaze and heart rate synchronize with other people when we watch videos? But why? And which signals should or should not synchronize?

We test a new theory on 150+ people, with @lucas_c_parra. Out in @PNASNexus: https://t.co/FRaemJEGwt

My essay "What Silicon Valley needs to know about the brain, and what it doesn't" in @neuromodec
They want to plug into your brain, literally. But proposed devices look like productized versions of academic R&D. So whats the secret sauce for breakthroughs?https://t.co/dEBlibD2UI

Had an amazing time w/ my lab at the Internl. Brain Stim. Conf. in Charleston, SC. Was a blast to talk about machine learning, data, and brain stim. Thanks to everyone who stopped by my posters and gave me some great tips! #brainstimconf @brainstimj #MachineLearning #EEG #ECG 1/2

Horrifying details are emerging about the tornado disaster at Amazon's warehouse in Illinois, where at least 6 workers were killed on the job.

Before he died, Larry Virden reportedly texted his girlfriend: "Amazon won’t let us leave." He leaves behind four children.

Have you wondered how the brain responds to video games such a #MarioKart?

Here, we applied a very simple analysis method to show how the brain responds to different types of visual dynamics across the game screen using #EEG.

Looking for an open source EEG/neuromodulation dataset? We just released one of our largest datasets w/ continuous EEG, ECG/EKG, EOG, behavioral vigilance/attention performance, noninvasive brain stimulation(tDCS/tACS)! Published in Nature @ScientificData: https://t.co/wtB5XTVYeA

Today, in Target's parking lot:

GUY: Sign this petition for Voter ID?

ME: Do I have to show ID to sign it?

GUY: No.

ME: So how do you know I'm a voter?

GUY: We verify name, address, and sig via the voter registry.

ME: You just explained why Voter ID is not necessary.

Politico's defense newsletter is sponsored by Lockheed Martin, its health newsletter by a private pharma group, its tech one by Comcast and its prescription medication one by a lobbying group dedicated to opposing Medicare for All.

How can this be taking seriously as journalism?

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

A catastrophic failure of US journalism and politics is that something like Biden's 10-year, $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill is not called a $350 billion annual bill...but the Pentagon's budget, which will exceed $7.5 trillion over a decade, is called a $750 billion annual bill

What happens when individuals listen to an audio recording of the same story? Their heart rates fall into sync, even if they are on separate continents! See what #CCNY researchers learned about bodily responses to cognition and their potential applications https://t.co/kFdbeZIs1h

Fresh of the press first first-author paper! Please check out our paper titled “During natural viewing, neural processing of visual targets continues throughout saccades” Thank you @lucas_c_parra @JasonKi1990 https://t.co/yfzJPw121d

[Marom Bikson @MaromBikson]

From @gozdee_unal @niranjank_2 @fallahrad, @NeuralEngrLab et al. When stimulation current changes tissue conductivity, that changes current flow, and so on... 3+ year effort develop this modeling at MRI-head model scale. For ECT, but tDCS, tACS, TMS next? https://t.co/IiCowixFCe
