Coming out of submitting a grant (part 1 - MEG Nord) Line and I enjoyed visiting Laura at Karolinska Institutet where she has collected two OP-MEG datasets focusing on cerebellum, expectations and respiration. Preliminary analyses show nice localisation of cerebellar activity using OP-MEG 🧠📈
sometimes I am asked which is the best book/resource for starting out with EEG/MEG. I think my pick would be this one! 'MEG-EEG primer' academic.oup.com/book/46874 beautiful illustrations throughout & the side-by-side discussion of EEG & MEG makes a lot of sense.

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

Beta band is not an oscillation. It's best seen as a set of diverse events, indexed by waveform shape.

Stats on #bodybrain #neuroskyence data can become non-trivial pretty quickly: Anything beyond t-tests on 'systole vs diastole' or 'insp vs exp' will include some form of phase binning, so we need adequate surrogates for robust permutation stats. Plus, these are not available for circular data.

New preprint from the lab! 🧠 Led by Juliana Trach, w/ Sophia Ou Using fMRI, we discovered evidence for time-sensitive reward prediction errors (RPEs) in the human cerebellum. Builds on, and extends, recent work in both rodents and NHPs

📣 New preprint 📣 The brain attenuates self-touch, but how does this unfold at the neural level before the touch? We used MEG to find out 🧠 👉👈
Motor prediction reduces beta-band power and enhances cerebellar-somatosensory connectivity before self-touch to enable its attenuation
Prevailing theories suggest that the brain uses an internal forward model to predict tactile input during voluntary movements, thereby reducing the intensity of the reafferent tactile sensation, a phe...

Somatosensory timing and cerebellar-basal ganglia beta-band interactions in Parkinson's disease https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.15.653735v1
Parkinson’s disease is all about basal ganglia, right? Using MEG in a timing paradigm, we find altered PD-activity in the cerebellum as well. This is important for understanding timing and action networks in the brain and sheds light on PD. @pandonaude.bsky.social 🧠📈 Preprint: bit.ly/431EEcv
