🎉 Research Publication Alert! Link to Translational Psychiatry Publication: doi.org/10.1038/s413... Predicting how skills linked to education, employment & day-to-day independence change over time in autistic people can be challenging. This can make it difficult to plan support. 🧵 1/4

Delighted to have our work published! doi.org/10.1162/IMAG... 🤔 TLDR: We studied the activity of communicating neural populations. Our findings: - Provide new insight into the nature of this communication - Inform the methods with which M/EEG functional connectivity should be measured

Zero-phase-delay synchrony between interacting neural populations: implications for functional connectivity-derived biomarkers

Abstract. Neural populations synchronise their activity with either zero-phase delay (activity in interacting regions occurs simultaneously) or a phase delay (activity in one region follows the other)...

🧠 Preprint Alert! We show the first evidence that EEG brain-connectivity measures can predict changes in adaptive functioning (skills applied to navigate the everyday environment in a self-sufficient manner) in #autistic people. 📄 Read the full text: doi.org/10.1101/2025... #EEG #Biomarkers #Neuro

EEG functional connectivity as a prognostic biomarker of adaptive function in autistic people

Many autistic people have challenges with adaptive function, impacting education, employment and independent-living goals. Adaptive function outcomes of autistic people vary considerably, which makes ...

🎉 New Year, New Preprint. Happy to share the first preprint from my #PhD! 🧠 🤔 TL;DR: Our findings are relevant to anyone using EEG / MEG functional connectivity analyses. They affect the choice of method when analysing your data. Check it out and tell me your thoughts: shorturl.at/TD3wc 1/6

A large study in Sweden found levels of autism *symptoms* were constant over time, even as autism *diagnoses* increased (implying broadening diagnostic criteria rather than real underlying increase) www.bmj.com/content/350/...

Autism phenotype versus registered diagnosis in Swedish children: prevalence trends over 10 years in general population samples

Objective To compare the annual prevalence of the autism symptom phenotype and of registered diagnoses for autism spectrum disorder during a 10 year period in children. Design Population based study....

Today is the international day of the Woman and Girl in Science. To all badass women, scientists keep doing what you do: discovery, mentorship, and hard work. YOU belong in SCIENE. To others, uplift the Women scientists you know, cite them, promote them, sponsor them, invite them - be an upstander.

Zero-phase-delay connectivity increases the reliability, concordance with structure, and prognostic ability of functional connectivity metrics

Zero-phase-delay synchrony between the activity of distant neural populations has been robustly observed. Nevertheless, contemporary electroencephalography and magnetencephalography functional connect...
