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

Pain in the claustrum

Pain arises from coordinated activity across distributed brain networks. The claustrum, a thin subcortical nucleus with extensive bidirectional connec…

Some positive news amongst the chaos: I received an official award notice from NSF (SBE/BCS) this AM! So for those of you with pending applications, keep the faith. Also, looks like I'll be recruiting 1-2 new Ph.D students this fall to carry out the work; interested parties can e-mail me to chat!

Happy to share that StimulEYE found its home at the TMS journal: doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

TMSMultiLab is an international network for researchers using #TMS - transcranial magnetic stimulation. There are about 85 of us, over 14 countries. We've written a few papers so far (under review / in prep), but more importantly we hold monthly Meetings: Free to all! github.com/TMSMultiLab/...

🌟 Claustrum and cognitive control This study explores the claustrum activation across during highly demanding cognitive tasks and how this might be related to how cognitive processes are compromised in neuropsychiatric disorders. 🔗 buff.ly/RKEoGKa

Another new one from the lab in J Neurosci: www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... Evidence accumulation is a core principle by which brains convert information into decisions. But what happens when the evidence the brain needs can't be directly read from an external stimulus or memory? 1/N
