The extended version of my thesis procrastination project/subcortex visualization package is out now in both Python and R, now that I’ve graduated 🤠 This figure shows the 9 atlases included (and counting)! Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Website: anniegbryant.github.io/subcortex_vi...

main goal for this year: find a new job! 🙂 looking for a role with fun & complex technical challenges & within a great community. my main expertise is in signal processing/EEG/MEG, but topic-wise I am quite flexible. science/industry both great! starting mid-year. nschawor.github.io/cv

Some ripples result from filtering 1/f noise (because when you filter noise you always get oscillations). Somewhat expected, but nice to have it spelled out and thoroughly investigated.👍

How well do classifiers trained on visual activity actually transfer to non-visual reactivation? #Decoding studies often rely on training in one (visual) condition and applying it to another (e.g. rest-reactivation). However: How well does this work? Show us what makes it work and win up to 1000$!

I always learned a great deal from simulating data (aka mostly how things don't really work the way they are advertised 🙃). so I can definitely recommend playing with this toolbox for simulating EEG/MEG sources with desired properties (location, coupling) for connectivity. ⬇️

Nick (@willenjoy.bsky.social) is obsessed with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). And for good reason! It could explain many results. Our simulation toolbox meegsim enables setting up SNR of individual sources as well as SNR of all signal sources with respect to all noise sources. meegsim.readthedocs.io

As part of the Toolbox Bouquet, @studenova.bsky.social and I will host a workshop on simulations of M/EEG activity and connectivity with the MEEGsim toolbox! You’re very welcome to join us on Oct 30th between 2 and 5pm 😉 More details will follow soon 🔜

We (I and @willenjoy.bsky.social) created a toolbox for simulations of EEG/MEG because we needed to simulate data. Our initial aim was to simulate connectivity. For this short clip, I simulated two sources with phase connectivity using our toolbox. #brainmovie meegsim.readthedocs.io/en/stable/in...

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

Simulations are fun! Especially with the right tools😉. @willenjoy.bsky.social and I (with support from Mina Jamshidi) made a toolbox for simulating EEG/MEG data meegsim.readthedocs.io I put together a quick simulation using it for this short clip. Took me 10 minutes (no, really!) #brainmovies

Do you want to simulate EEG/MEG but don't know where to start? Don't start with ChatGPT, start with *pip install meegsim*. We (me and @willenjoy.bsky.social) have just released v.0.0.2. Our toolbox generates EEG/MEG using template waveforms with ground truth source activity. meegsim.readthedocs.io

Could the diversity of findings in heartbeat-evoked response (HER) research be due to variability in methods? In our new preprint my co-first authors, Maria Azanova and @willenjoy.bsky.social, and me systematically reviewed 132 M/EEG HER studies and found:

Are you sure that your Heartbeat Evoked Potential (HEP) effect is real? In our new paper, we show that task-evoked activity can overlap with HEPs, creating false positive effects - unless you correct for it.

It's good to reinvent the wheel sometimes! endler.dev/2025/reinven... Great post by Matthias Endler. It helps understanding how wheels work, how you can fix them when broken, how to make better wheels if really needed, or how to find creative use cases for wheels by thinking outside the box.

I think it needs to be a periodic reminder (it is aperiodic which is more fun). If you are interested in OPM- or SQUID- MEG, I am curating a feed/list of scientists associated with MEG. Follow it for high MEG to fMRI ratio, interact to join, please repost. bsky.app/profile/did:...
