🚨New Publication🚨 From the Opitz Lab (w/ @alekseichuk.bsky.social). A new closed-loop TMS-EEG algorithm that targets specific neural oscillation phases and is flexible across different brain regions and frequency bands. doi.org/10.1109/TBME... #brain #brainstimulation #neuroscience

🚨 New paper: Motor cortex excitability is shaped by traveling alpha & beta waves 🧠🌊 Using EEG-triggered TMS & ECoG in humans + a non-human primate, we show excitability depends on phase and direction of neural rhythms. w/ Zach Haigh & Alex Opitz 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... #Neuroscience

Are you interested in meta-modeling of #BrainStimulation? Now, we’re sharing head models and code in Scientific Data: www.nature.com/articles/s41... E.g., that's how we meta-analyzed tACS studies on memory recently (www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...). Together with @miles2708.bsky.social and Opitz Lab.

Happy New Year! (my cartoon for @newscientist.bsky.social)

Excited to share that I will start as an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University this fall! My lab will focus on closed-loop brain stimulation and neuroimaging. I look forward to doing cool science together with brilliant colleagues at Northwestern.

What brain oscillations are the causal "bottlenecks" of human #WorkingMemory? Check our meta-model of existing oscillatory brain stimulation (tACS) + working memory studies. Now online in PNAS by Miles Wischnewski, Taylor Berger, Alex Opitz, and me: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...
