What makes some melodies feel "right" and others totally "off"? We have an intuitive affinity for some musical scales over others, like Bobby McFerrin shows here (youtu.be/ne6tB2KiZuk?...). Check out @omriraccah.bsky.social's paper - a clever collision of psychology and music - to learn more.

Tomorrow is the last day to register for our in-person event! Join us, and our incredible lineup of speakers, on the UCSD campus Nov 15 from 9am-1pm. Registration is free! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The latest Stories of WiN profile features Dr. Emi Nagoshi. Out now! I loved capturing her story--rich with serendipitous discoveries and humility, her resilient attitude towards "surviving academia" shines through. Check out Emi's profile and listen her interview to hear more about her science.

Registration for our in-person event is still open! We hope to see you all in San Diego!

U-Miami has a postdoctoral mentored research training program in Alzheimer's / neurodegeneration, with 2 years of funding for fellows. If you're interested in my lab and applying cognitive neuroscience and precision neuroimaging methods to studying AD, please reach out! mbi-umiami.org/training/

A thought-provoking piece in Nature Neuroscience by many neuroscience colleagues: "Science must break its silence to rebuild public trust". Lots to think about here. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📜🎉 I'm happy to share that my review of clinical research investigating aperiodic neural activity is now published! It examines 177 reports of aperiodic activity in clinical disorders summarizing findings, discussion topics, & making some recommendations! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Gonna be in San Diego for #sfn25? Come join us for our first ever in-person event for @storiesofwin.bsky.social - registration is now OPEN!! 👇 gonna be a great time for getting inspired and building community (and stay tuned for an exciting lineup of 🤩speakers/panelists)! Help us spread the word!

This is a fascinating study dissecting the degree to which functional connectivity in EEG is driven by aperiodic activity instead of oscillations -- how robust are connectivity findings in a frequency band (theta, alpha) when oscillations are not omni-present? www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

Changes in cognition are some of the first noticeable symptoms of mental health conditions like depression. This study is a roadmap for neuroscientists and clinicians looking to personalize psychiatric interventions and identify where cognitive deficits and diagnostic symptoms overlap in the brain.

Our latest profile is here! Dr. Nicole Rust (@nicolecrust.bsky.social) studies the neural representations of mood & has recently published a book about new ways we can conduct neuroscience research to better undersand mental illness. Learn more below: www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

Let’s talk @storiesofwin.bsky.social. I’m flattered to be among their profiles (coming soon) & I want to elevate the team behind this terrific effort. /1 www.storiesofwin.org

Excited to share this profile + interview with Dr. Emily Jacobs! Amazing work on human precision brain imaging across hormonal fluctuations, and such an inspiring story! I had such a great time interviewing her!

Theo Kertesz, a brilliant intern here in the B&C lab, wrote a fantastic piece about my PhD research. Read it on Medium! medium.com/p/listening-...

Started a new postdoc at Yale in @brognition.bsky.social Lab with Kia Nobre! Studying adaptive cognition in humans using brain recordings—both on and in the head. New lab, new city, new chapter!

New Stories of WiN profile. Writing about Melissa's journey was so fun. I love hearing about scientists who are having a blast doing research and it's a gift to pass along their enthusiasm!

We need multimodal data 💯 current frameworks overlook that single-nuclei transcriptomics reveals over 50 distinct inhibitory subtypes with potentially different contributions to circuit function throughout the lifespan! My research aims to relate these macro-scale measures to microcircuits 🙏

Just published a commentary in Biological Psychiatry: Global Open Science titled: 🧠 Analyzing the elephant: The search for electroencephalography biomarkers 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.bp...
