Hey, it's me! This was a great introduction to thinking of neurological disease states through dynamical systems, and encouragement to thread the needle between explicable solutions for our patients and our bleeding-edge, increasingly sci-fi-sounding science.

Ready for another book for your reading list? In Elusive Cures, author Dr. Nicole Rust describes advances in our understanding of the brain, unanswered questions, and new frontiers for research on brain disorders. Thanks to Dr. Manuel Marte for the recommendation! press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Check out new work from my lab on the validity of pMRI. More on this soon in clinical populations at the upcoming American Neurological Association meeting!

🧠 New in Aperture Neuro: Can portable, ultra-low-field MRI reliably measure brain volume? A study of 20 adults found high test–retest reliability using a 64 mT scanner, supporting its potential for monitoring brain volume changes over time. Read the article: apertureneuro.org/article/1654...

It was a privilege to work on this trial and it’s difficult to put into words how influential it has been on my thinking as a clinician-scientist. Please see our new work demonstrating the use of advanced computing methods to test decades-old hypotheses informing multilingual clinical practice!

Excited to share the first step toward a new line of work I'm developing here at Hopkins, pushing toward usable early prognosis in post-stroke aphasia: acute-phase ML models predicting 12-month recovery across both standardized measures *and* discourse outcomes!

Really amazing findings!

If chains are a fundamental organizational principle of cortex, how have we never noticed them before? The answer is that we are used to looking at data averaged across large groups, and group averaging hides them!

Happy to share that I recently defended my dissertation! Big thanks to my committee, my INCREDIBLE colleagues, and @swathikiran.bsky.social especially – for the many years of guidance, and for creating a rich, rigorous, collaborative intellectual environment at the Center for Brain Recovery.
