Excited to share our new study in Nature Neuroscience @NatureNeuro reveals that when you’re sleep-deprived and attention drops, your brain starts to look like asleep: with large waves of CSF rushing through the brain, similar to what happens during sleep. https://t.co/qcEySLMSG6

Nature Neuroscience - Yang et al. show that moments of failed attention we experience after sleep deprivation reflect brief ‘sleep-like’ episodes in the brain, corresponding to a brain-...

Attentional failures during wakefulness after sleep deprivation are tightly orchestrated in a series of brain–body changes, including neuronal shifts, pupil constriction and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow pulsations @lauradata @ziy027

New research shows attention lapses due to sleep deprivation coincide with a flushing of fluid from the brain — a process that normally occurs during sleep. https://t.co/nOH5mThWBy

An MIT study reveals what happens in the brain as lapses of attention occur following sleep deprivation. During these lapses, a wave of cerebrospinal fluid flows out of the brain — a process that...

The aging human brain exhibits reduced cerebrospinal fluid flow during sleep due to both neural and vascular factors https://t.co/eoGWTyhMnf

Aging reduces the quality and quantity of sleep, and greater sleep loss over the lifespan is predictive of neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. One mechanism by which sleep loss could contribute...

excited to share our new paper! waves of csf appear spontaneously in the human brain during sleep, but is it possible to drive similar waves of csf flow during the wake state via neurovascular coupling? yes! we found that we could drive reliable macroscopic csf flow

A really lovely open source paper on a EEG fMRI neurofeedback tool called LLAMAS from Josh Levitt, @ziy027 and @lauradata! https://t.co/OTrufQC5o8 🦙🎉

Simultaneous EEG-fMRI is a powerful multimodal technique for imaging the brain, but its use in neurofeedback experiments has been limited by EEG noise caused by the MRI environment. Neurofeedback...
