In yesterday’s @buCSNneuro seminar, @Stefan_Mihalas from the @AllenInstitute discussed “Computing with complex components: How heterogenous, nonstationery and noisy neurons and synapses contribute to the brain's computational power.” Thanks Emily Stephen (@emilyps14) for hosting!

We are excited to explore how this extends to other neuromodulators and brain states, and how it could impact our understanding of human functional connectivity! [3/3]

This project was inspired by our recent work describing how neuromodulation (e.g. Norepinephrine levels) impacts hemodynamics, over and above neural activity. [2/3] @AnnaDevor @BoasDavid

Ascending neuromodulatory projections from deep brain nuclei generate internal brain states that differentially engage specific neuronal cell types. Because neurovascular coupling is cell-type...

📜I just preprinted a little perspective piece / mini review on the history of the study of aperiodic neural activity - arguing there is more out there in literature than one might expect! A historical overview of the study of aperiodic neural activity: https://t.co/MnmpHfU2Mn

I just posted a major piece of my graduate research, where we used global coherence (previously used with EEG recordings of general anesthesia) to characterize coherent networks of alpha oscillations in disorders of consciousness

Alpha (8-12 Hz) frequency band oscillations are among the most informative features in electroencephalographic (EEG) assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). Because interareal...

This is a big one! @PatrickBloniasz, Shohei Oyama, and I throwing our hat in the ring on interpreting broadband effects in neural power spectra. I can’t wait to hear what people think and chat about it at #SfN24!
🧠 I’m excited to share our latest preprint with @emilyps14 and undergraduate S. Oyama! We introduce a stochastic forward modeling framework to improve the interpretation of neural power spectral effects—like spectral slope—in biophysical terms. 1/

As some of you are well aware, the BRAIN Initiative funding was cut by 40% ( https://t.co/H8VwdpKUPV). “This is truly awful, This large cut to the BRAIN Initiative is, simply put, going to kill jobs and hurt patients over the next 10-20 years.” – Kip Ludwig, PhD

So excited to be mentoring @PatrickBloniasz, who was awarded a GRFP today!
Excited to announce that I was offered a neuroscience @NSF GRFP award this morning. I will continue my work developing new tools to model neural field potentials under the mentorship of @emilyps14. Huge thanks all my friends, family, and mentors over the years! :)
