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

Sad news - from April 2026 - of a fellow #TMS researcher 🧠🧲

Nick Holmes@thehandlab.bsky.social · 3w ago

I learnt today of the death of Dr Hannah J Block (@hjblock.bsky.social) a brilliant scientist whose work I've always enjoyed. Block's lab produced high quality, honest, careful work without spin or exaggeration, negative results as carefully reported as positive. A real loss to neuroscience 🧠❤️

We are looking for autistic people (with and without a diagnosis) for an online study about how people experience and imagine different sounds. If you're interested please contact: stanley.jones@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk

We are hiring an assistant professor in Metascience! Join our lovely department of Human-Technology Interaction, with a very active Metascience group, at Eindhoven University of Technology. Apply here before August 14, or share the vacancy in your network! www.tue.nl/en/working-a...

In case you missed the first day of @wmsymposium.bsky.social, I had the chance to share for the first time our psychophysical TMS approach for studying cognition. With @thehandlab.bsky.social, @nkonstantinou.bsky.social, & @eester.bsky.social Very excited for this one! More soon.
