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...

Watch out for this rising star!

Working Memory Early-career Researchers all around the world! A reminder that it’s 3 more days until WMS abstract submission deadline (May 31st).  If you have cool WM research that you want to share to the vibrant community of WM researchers, please submit your abstract (forms.gle/MccRLJC1xXQ3...)

It was AWESOME to see lots of EXCITING WM research spearheaded by early career researchers at @vssmtg.bsky.social!!! WMS community would LOVE to see your cool research in a form of talks and blitz! Abstract deadline is May 31st! (forms.gle/MccRLJC1xXQ3...)

Back from a week long conference. It only took me 45 minutes to sign back in using 2FA to all my accounts on my work PC.

New #EEGManyLabs paper out in Cortex! We asked whether contralateral delay activity, or CDA, can serve as a reliable EEG marker of visual working memory capacity. doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

What an incredible achievement for this rising star, coming out of the @daspainbrain.bsky.social lab :) Stay tuned for some exciting research coming out of this.

Announcing the TMS Multi-Lab Hackathon 2026! We will work collaboratively to solve problems in TMS, EMG & data analysis Matlab / Python / GitHub support 10th to 12th August 2026, Online only, FREE, Multiple timezones Register/more information here: forms.gle/JVCiZCWbFCRX... #TMS #BrainStim ⚡🧠🧲

Happening today! Invite your #BrainStim & #TMS friends :-) meeting link via our github (or just get in touch!) github.com/TMSMultiLab/...

This Friday: designing & building software to analyse #TMS & EMG data, with Gleb Perevoznyuk. 14:00 GMT+1, ZOOM See you there!

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

It is a great honour & a dream come true becoming a member of the @globalyacademy.bsky.social. Looking forward to becoming a small part of this amazing community. Congrats to all incoming members (globalyoungacademy.net/gya-new-memb...) & see you all very soon!

We'd also like to congratulate our Best Poster & Presenter winners, Madison Henderson and Joshua Hoddinott, as well as our People's Choice Poster & Presenter winners, Taamir Nanji and Thu Pham!

Proud of this one, led by former lab student Ali Caron (not on bluesky) and online at @jocn.bsky.social. direct.mit.edu/jocn/article...

Our 2026 kNOw-PAIN Conference is coming up this Thursday, March 26 from 8 AM - 5 PM at the Great Hall, Western University. Registration is still open using this link: www.knowpain.ca/2026conference Registration is $35, but free for trainees and patient partners.

Meeting #14: March 27th, 12h GMT Tahnée Engelen @tahnee-engelen.bsky.social will tell us how: "Cardiac, respiratory & gastric rhythms independently modulate motor corticospinal excitability in humans" you can also read about it here: doi.org/10.1371/jour... meeting link via Slack/GitHub: ask! 🧠⚡

This Friday at 14:00 GMT, if you've got nothing better to do, but talk about #TMS #BrainStim theory & methods 👇

⚡ #TMS #Preprint ⚡🐀 🧪 🧠 🧵 Brain stimulation methods are complex; reproducibility depends on knowing what was done. @solyas.bsky.social's paper reports work with myself & 15 other @tmsmultilab.bsky.social members to develop a modular, flexible reporting tool: the TMS-RAT doi.org/10.64898/202...

There’s probably a proper post coming from @thehandlab.bsky.social soon, but you heard it from me first. TMS-RAT ⚡️🐀 just landed. @solyas.bsky.social @tmsmultilab.bsky.social

TMSMultiLab's next monthly meeting: 27th February 14:00 GMT 🤝⚡️🧠 "Dose-response (input-output) curves: Ground truth for testing TMS methods?" by me (@TheHandLab) Details & Zoom link via github 👇 & slack (request an invite) github.com/TMSMultiLab/...

Some thoughts on reviewing papers: 1. I always sign my reviews. I think it allows me to do a better job, remain kind, and be transparent about my potential biases or conflicts of interest with their work. Some journals hate it when I do it, but I still do, and always will. You should try it. 1/5

Today, together with @eester.bsky.social we are checking and fixing all electrodes. A procedure we like to call surgerEEG.

Registration is open for our 2026 kNOw-PAIN Conference! Our conference this year features keynotes Dr. Margot Latimer, John R. Sylliboy, Dr. Norm Buckley, and Dr. Hance Clarke! To learn more and to register for the conference, visit our website at www.knowpain.ca/2026conference.

Applying for jobs vs funding as an early career researcher: Jobs-Here’s how I’m awesome & why my career will be awesome forever. Funding-Here’s how I suck & how my career will suck forever unless I get this grant. #academicsky #skyence #academia #science

The 12th TMSMultiLab meeting will be lead by Dr Giacomo Bertazzoli (orcid.org/0000-0003-16...) on "The NIBS-BIDS proposal" Friday 30th Jan, 14h GMT, Zoom All acronyms will be explained, but its about: #DataSharing #OpenScience #Standards #TMS #BrainStim github.com/TMSMultiLab/...

Looking forward to the first Consciousness Club of the year tomorrow! @suryagayet.bsky.social will be talking to us about “Tracking perceptual competition with Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT)” Wed 14th Jan at 11am UK time All welcome, to join please see metacoglab.org/consciousnes...

I disagree with arguments that PhD training should include more industry related skills, opportunities, etc. A thread 🧵 1/n #academicsky #skyence #industry

Working on a principled way to describe the sample size, N, in #science papers. Will be attempting to prove Holmes' theorem over the next few years. Feedback welcome 🙏 #stats

TIL from @thehandlab.bsky.social that there are as many TMS related acronyms (tRA) as there are papers in the field.

It’s not the new year that needs to be better. It’s us.

This is your reminder to hug your loved ones a little bit tighter and for a bit longer during the holiday season. For those who are alone. For those who are away from friends & family. For those who need to work. For those who are unhoused. For those who need a hug but can’t get one.

Advocating for better science is great. Pushing for open practices, prioritising quality over quantity, revolting against the current publishing system, promoting better work-life balance. But… [1/n]

Today at 14:00 GMT 👀🧠🧲⚡️

I did an oral presentation today at St-Joseph's Hospital Joint Mental Health Research and Innovation Day about the pain and visual working memory study on which I have been working with @phivph.com. This was my first time presenting in a conference! Abstract can be found: heyzine.com/flip-book/ab...

Get a sneak peak of what we’ll chat about here: youtu.be/t0cTs3hi7JE?...
