Very excited for the next few days at #BIOMAG2026! I will present our labs most recent endeavors in inferring laminar activity on a methodology level, and also in Parkinson‘s Disease Patients. If this sounds interesting to you, you can find me at poster 203 and Symposium 15! Looking forward to it!
This graph took me 3 years to make. It's perhaps the largest-ever #metaanalysis of #TMS #BrainStim data. It includes my first real scientific discovery 🧵: When you stimulate the hand with a brief electric pulse, your brain and spinal cord are momentarily less excitable: muscle output decreases 1/n
New preprint from the team - what's the role of frontal cortex - LPFC & MCC - in learning about progress towards goals? Data from the checking project collected by Fred Stoll. New analyses by Xiaoqi Xu. With Matteo di Volo, Manu Procyk, & skytorial from @nilskolling.bsky.social below
Nils Kolling@nilskolling.bsky.social · 4mo agoNew preprint alert! doi.org/10.64898/202... Throughout life, we are often told to persist in the pursuit of our long term goals. However, the most important factor to consider in the real world for whether to continue pursuit or abandon one's goal is knowing how much progress you are making.

We've been saying for a while now that beta bursts might be functionally heterogeneous. Check out @quentinmoreau.bsky.social's paper where we show that different types of bursts have different relationships to behavior in a sensorimotor adaptation task 👇👇👇

How dynamics arise from the structure is my biggest interest. In this study, we started with a small step and asked how structure constrains dynamics. Spoiler: would that it were so simple… (1/6)

Our group has been looking at beta bursts for the last 5 years, but we do it a little differently than most - we group into types them based on their waveforms. In this open access article we lay out why and what we think this might mean journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #neuroskyence
It's out out. Saying that your favourite signal is an oscillation is not enough, it would be good to quantify to what extent.
