Check out my new paper in @iScience_CP

[Brain Rhythms lab @haegenslab]

Another paper out! New research from our lab explores how beta-band activity signals decisions. We show that subtle shifts in beta-band *frequency* signal categorical decision outcomes — a neural signature that generalizes across tasks and species.

we are recruiting! looking for a postdoc with great electrophys and data analysis skills for a project in collaboration with @drstephjones and @dr_alexharris to study the role of beta frequency shifts in decision-making.

Yesterday I was in Bint Jbeil, Lebanon, watching IDF forces blow up homes. Today, as they continue destroying the south and blowing up homes in Bint Jbeil, they’re simultaneously congratulating Lebanon on their new president and wishing for ‘good neighborly relations.’

What exactly is a “Gaza airstrike?”
Is that like slapping oneself?

Israel's mad attacks on Lebanon today is a repeat of what we saw in 2006 when it fired 90% of its cluster munitions (of a total of 4 million submunitions) during the last 72 hours, after the UNSC had passed Resolution 1701 calling for a ceasefire but before ceasefire took effect

🇱🇧 Downtown Beirut now: Thousands of panicked citizens fleeing their homes

It should be noted that there is no Hezbollah armed presence in these areas, this is purely an attempt to terrorize people

[Megaphone News English @MegaphoneNewsEN]

The number of casualties from the #Israeliaggression on #Lebanon since October 8, 2023, has risen to 3,050 martyrs with another 13,658 injured. The Lebanese #MinistryofHealth said 37 people were martyred and 105 others were injured in Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, on Tuesday.

President of Lebanon's prestigious American University of Beirut in email students/alumni:

- 50 percent of our student body has been displaced
- 25-30 percent of our faculty and staff are either displaced or have taken multiple family members into their homes.

An entire city of more than 100k people live was told to evacuate by the invading army. This is the City of the Sun, with the most intact & impressive imperial Roman architecture in the world & people who live with thousands of years of uninterrupted syncretic, diverse history

[Omar Tamo @OmarTamo19]

Lebanon's health minister submits a report documenting Israel's "intentional and direct" attacks on 55 hospitals and 201 strikes on emergency medical teams.

What are Israel's calculations in Gaza and Lebanon? A thread:

[Ghassan Abu Sitta, Chair of Conflict Medicine AUB @GhassanAbuSitt1]
