I reviewed 5+ fMRI papers on response inhibition within roughly the last year, and the same points come up over and over again. So I wrote a short note last week entitled "The unique limitations of BOLD-fMRI in the study of response inhibition". You can read it here. osf.io/preprints/ps...

What if agency isn’t a fixed trait or a single computation - but an emergent property of how we learn to act under changing constraints? At SOBP in NYC this week! Would love to connect. 😇🔥 #SOBP2026 #AdaptiveIntelligence #Agency #ComputationalPsychiatry

Our new article is out! 🧠🫀 We investigated heartbeat-locked brain activity using #MEG and found that beta-band suppression was enhanced during interoceptive attention and in individuals with higher interoceptive accuracy. #neuroskyence #interoception @uniofjyvaskyla.bsky.social

This study shows that beta-band suppression time-locked to the heartbeat is a reliable neural marker of interoceptive processing, with a distinct fronto-cingulo-somatosensory signature that different...

New work, now out in PLoS Biology. Using intracranial recordings & EEG, we find that the human STN rapidly engages / releases motor inhibition depending on task context, does so in tight accord w/ frontal cortex, and shows little to no lateralization while doing so. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

A cortico-subthalamic circuit rapidly engages and releases inhibition of specific movements depending on the environmental context

How does the human brain stop movements under realistic conditions? Using intracranial recordings and multi-variate EEG decoding, this study shows that a fronto-basal ganglia circuit featuring the sub...

New preprint from the lab, led by post-doc @cheolsoh.bsky.social and former post-doc Mario Hervault (now Asst Prof at UGrenoble). The boys used synchronous intracranial recordings from the human subthalamic nucleus & EEG to study β bursts during global & selective response inhibition. Details in 🧵
