New paper out in Journal of Neural Engineering.

We tested effective connectivity metrics against simulated brain networks with known ground truth.

Takeaway: if brain communication has time delays, zero-lag methods can fail. Metric choice matters.

We are excited to be a part of this community to further efforts to understand and treat #bipolardisorder where we hope to bring biological insight back to psychiatry @UMNews @umnneurosurgery with @ZiadNahas7 @DrDamienFair @TNetoff @AlexHermanMDPhD @HermanDarrowLab

I still get chills

Meet Mike
*30+ years severe depression
*first hospitalized @ 13y
*20 meds
*3 rounds of ECT
*2 near-fatal suicide attempts

Mike felt joy for the first time in decades after we turned on his new brain pacemaker or PACE

see paper, thread

This is the future. The reality of biological #psychiatry. We listen to the patient, create a personalized map of their brain, use algorithms to disrupt stuck networks, and adapt the stimulation over time while continuing our quest to understand those networks. @umnneurosurgery

🚀 Big news from @HermanDarrowLab Our latest study in Neuroimage presents a game-changing method for analyzing brain signals, offering a deeper understanding of brain function. This technique is a leap forward for #human #neuroscience @umnmedschool https://t.co/HFOBtLgKWG

Patients w/ paraplegia are seeing improvements after receiving a spinal cord implant — one woman even began moving her legs again after 23 yrs. These and other clinical trial results are from Prof. @TNetoff, @daviddarrow & team. @UMNCSE @UMNresearch.
