Wait… flickering lights actually make you pay attention better? Gamma sensory flicker has been studied for Alzheimer’s disease, but here we asked a different question: Can it help healthy brains focus right now? Apparently… yes. (We were surprised too.) Paper here: doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

I am honored to have been inducted into the @aimbe-official.bsky.social College of Fellows. I am grateful to my lab and collaborators for their hard work discovering how neural activity shapes memory and brain health and translating those insights into new therapies. bme.gatech.edu/news/bme-fac...

Groundbreaking scientific discoveries don’t happen in isolation. Michelle Gray, PhD, SfN Program Committee member, shares how you can enhance your research through valuable exchange w/ the global scientific community at #SfN25. Don't delay, submit your abstract today! 🔗 bit.ly/3G5vEde #NeuroSky

We live in a dynamic world, but we often study navigation as if the world is static. So how do we flexibly adapt in the face of new, pivotal information? @stephmprince.bsky.social addresses just that question in her latest paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41....
