Happy to present #py_neuromodulation from our preprint on invasive neurophysiology and connectomics for neural decoding at the @BernsteinNeuro #BernsteinConference @bccn_berlin: A #Python-based feature estimation and decoding platform for human BCI.🧵 https://t.co/Jb43hCYG8S

It will allow to study longitudinal invasive brain signals in combination with high-resolution behavior! In this way we can learn how the brain encodes diseases and behavior and how those can be used for future neuromodulation therapies!

and just having a lot of fun doing amazing science! My main work on neural decoding for invasive neurophysiology ( https://t.co/MnkrC4J7pV,
https://t.co/CFt3bREZSp) was now also accepted in Nature Biomedical Engineering 🎉

Happy to share that for me a new chapter started! I finished last year my PhD working with @neumann_wj in the @ICNeuromodulate Lab at @ChariteBerlin. It was an amazing time and I am very thankful for the working environment in that lab, the amazing supervision, great people

Can we stimulate brain networks identified using deep brain stimulation from the outside, in a non-invasive fashion? At @Brain_Circuits, we believe, we can! Our first randomized clinical trial demonstrating this concept is just out in @MDJ_Journal: https://t.co/zuutgK4Evo A🧵

Large-scale global flood forecasting has been out of reach for a long time. In our Nature paper published today we show how breakthroughs in AI can close the gap & provide reliable flood predictions even in regions that previously lacked data. Learn more: https://t.co/A35HyTczZr

Super excited to announce that my preprint is finally out! Our study combines invasive electrophysiology, whole brain networks and neurotransmitter uptake to reveal a link between cortical beta and dopamine uptake in the brain. https://t.co/FNbVgbhHrv
