🧠 New preprint! How does the brain predict complex patterns in sound vs. vision? Using MEG & matched auditory/visual sequences, we reveal distinct and shared brain networks for recognising temporally structured stimuli.

Congratulations 🙌 Leonardo!

We are very proud of our Associate Professor Leonardo Bonetti @leonardobonetti.bsky.social who just received a Sapere Aude grant :-) Congrats! @dg.dk @au.dk dff.dk/hvad-har-vi-...

Honored to receive the Sapere Aude: DFF Research Leader grant (~830.000EUR) 🙏 The project will explore how the brain supports memory and sequence prediction using multi-scale neurophysiology and advanced analytics like our Network Estimation via Source Separation (NESS) 🧠

How does aging affect how we remember and compare sounds? Our new study reveals key EEG markers linked to auditory short-term memory and dissimilarity perception across age groups. Read in Eur J Neurosci: doi.org/10.1111/ejn....

🎶 New paper on how working and long-term auditory memory interact—and how aging and musical training shape this relationship 🚫🎻🧠 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #NeuroScience #Cognition #Memory #AuditoryPrediction #MusicPerception

Trust is a precious commodity, but it is essential in science, notably when people from different fields are collaborating. Neuroscientist Leo and mathematician Ramon are trying to understand brain function and long-term memory. Read the case study: www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/70955

1/n 🔍 At the core of FREQ-NESS is Generalized Eigendecomposition (GED) - a powerful linear decomposition technique that allows us to separate overlapping neural processes based on their dominant frequency, by contrasting narrowband vs broadband activity. #Neuroscience #FREQNESS

2/n 🧘‍♂️ During rest, FREQ-NESS reliably separates well-known resting state brain networks — the Default Mode Network, alpha-band parieto-occipital, and motor-beta sensorimotor topographies. Textbook configurations emerge directly from the data and based on frequency, without predefining regions.

3/n 🎧 Auditory stimulation reshapes the entire frequency-resolved network landscape: • EMERGENCE: Attunement to the 2.4 Hz stimulation • RE-ARRANGEMENT: Spatial shift of alpha from occipital to sensorimotor, spectral shift to high alpha activity • INVARIANCE: Beta networks remain unchanged

4/ Provided the network separation, we also tracked cross-frequency coupling (CFC) between networks. During passive listening to the metronome, the phase of low-freq (2.4 Hz) auditory networks selectively modulates the gamma band amplitude in more distributed medial temporal networks.

5/ 🛠️ FREQ-NESS has been a long time in the making. If you’re interested in exploring frequency-resolved brain networks in your own data — check out the toolbox and documentation here: 👉 shorturl.at/mOVKF Feel free to reach out for clarification or collaborations #OpenScience #Toolbox

🚀 Excited to share our new Advanced Science paper! With @leonardobonetti.bsky.social, we present FREQ-NESS: a novel method to map the brain’s functional organisation as a landscape of frequency-specific networks. 🧠 #Neuroscience #MEG #BrainNetworks #AuditoryProcessing #FREQNESS Thread below 🧵 👇
