Sleep, wake, coma. iEEG, EEG

[Michael 英泉 Eisen @mbeisen]

So it’s going to spend 3 years crippled by insecurity, messing up everything it tries, contemplate quitting as it’s friends get rich and start families, before finally pulling it all together in a manic amphetamine fueled two month stretch and making an amazing discovery nobody reads because it’s paywalled?

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

Exceptional performance by @runeboen at his defence yesterday at @UniOslo

[Irene Voldsbekk, PhD @irenevoldsbekk]

Massive congratulations Dr @runeboen for an amazing defence yesterday🥳 #PhDone

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

@dariquima @Carlsbergfondet @UCPH_Research @Rigshospitalet Exciting news, congratulations and tillykke! 🇩🇰🎶

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

Looking forward to great talks on auditory processing across levels of consciousness

[Athina Tzovara @AthinaTzovara]

Don't miss our #OHBM2023 posters today on auditory processing in coma (2546), sleep (2683), and wakefulness (2562) presented by the great: @lerknes @RiccardoC29 and Florence Aellen!

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

Proud to be part of this incredible team 👏

[Athina Tzovara @AthinaTzovara]

Excited to share our latest paper!
We show evidence for a ​hierarchy of neural dynamics in the​​ extended human auditory network which​​ exhibits anatomic gradients​​ & ​​can explain the temporal richness of ​neural responses to sounds.

Excited to share my first PhD paper!🎉In this study, we examined structural brain measures🧠, brain age gap🧠🧓, and physical traits🫀🫁💪 in individuals carrying a 15q11.2 BP1-BP2 deletion or duplication🧬. (🧵1/7)

@anecdatally @dsquintana And in what direction? A positive turn would be if it made more programs available to internationals willing to pay; Norwegian proficiency less of a necessity for faculty. Though, fewer programs offering courses in English and more moving in the direction of @UniOslo_SVfak likely

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

Sorry to see the nationalization of Norwegian academia. An international environment and teaching in English prepared and made me confident going abroad for my PhD. Hopefully this (and new Norwegian language requirements at @UniOslo_SVfak) will not rob other students of the same

[Benjamin Silvester @BRSilvester]

It will now cost international students €7500-€14000 to study in Norway (only UiS have announced exact fees so far). From costing €0 in tution (except for a small semester fee & v high cost of living) to one of the most expensive. All in a single year.

Phenomenal work by @ahandvanish @LisaAMcCorkell @juliamv
@NatureRevMicro

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

This has been such a fascinating project to follow. Looking forward to see where it will go moving forward!

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

Can convolutional neural networks be used to extract patterns in the auditory-evoked EEG in coma that is predictive of patients’ chances of awakening? (Yes!). New paper from the @AthinaTzovara lab by (twitterless) Florence Aellen https://t.co/shTrUFYC0Q

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

Florence and colleagues (which I’m proud to be one of) show the potential of deep learning to predict awakening from coma and also brings such techniques one step closer to the bed-side

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

Awesome performance and exemplary dissemination by @C_P_Haugestad describing his research on individuals driven to climate activism and climate anxiety on Norwegian national TV this evening. So proud to call this great researcher a close friend https://t.co/hhlE1ti9Vg

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

Pre-print alert! 🥳Could the diversity of intrinsic timescales help explain the richness of auditory response onsets? 🧠Using iEEG recordings with auditory stimulation, my friend and colleague @RiccardoC29 tackles this question in this exciting pre-print. Check it out!

[Riccardo Cusinato @RiccardoC29]

First PhD preprint! We show that neural timescales are hierarchically distributed in the temporal lobe and how they explain variability in the auditory processing. Thanks to @lerknes @AthinaTzovara and all the coauthors!

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

@runeboen Get out of the bike lane!

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

Interested in how neural synchrony and complexity manifest in acute coma and relate to outcome in post-cardiac arrest coma patients? Find me at poster 63 during today’s poster session at #ASSC25 and check out https://t.co/7Dj8y5xFjx

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

@r_tvdr Great idea! In the small sample of coworkers and friends I’ve asked, everyone has surprisingly strong opinions, and excitingly also diverging!

[Sigurd Lerkerød Alnes @lerknes]

Making a plot and decided to check the consensus for coloring sleep-stages. As there is none, I hereby declare Wake as brown, N2 as pink, N3 as yellow, and REM as lime-colored.
