📣 Special Issue coming out in Oxford Open Neuroscience! 📣 With @samgilbert.bsky.social, Sarah Boukarras, @ryssamoffat.bsky.social, and @juancamiload.bsky.social , we're putting together a collection focused on moving beyond descriptive accounts of synchrony! academic.oup.com/oons/pages/c...

We've been saying for a while now that beta bursts might be functionally heterogeneous. Check out @quentinmoreau.bsky.social's paper where we show that different types of bursts have different relationships to behavior in a sensorimotor adaptation task 👇👇👇

🧵1/3 New paper out! Beta bursts aren't all the same and their waveform shape are functionally meaningful ! @maciekszul.bsky.social & @danclab.bsky.social👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

📣 ESCAN 2026 – Symposium deadline Good news! The symposium submission deadline has been extended to January 17. The poster and single-talk deadline remains February 16. 🔗 escan2026.eu/important-da...

Our group has been looking at beta bursts for the last 5 years, but we do it a little differently than most - we group into types them based on their waveforms. In this open access article we lay out why and what we think this might mean journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #neuroskyence

Beta band is not an oscillation. It's best seen as a set of diverse events, indexed by waveform shape.

An accessible overview on why beta band activity is best seen as a diverse set of events and not an oscillation, along with cortico-subcortical network responsible for specific waveform shape. @hollyrayson.bsky.social @quentinmoreau.bsky.social Solène Gailhard @danclab.bsky.social

New study led by @quentinmoreau.bsky.social & @vchamberland.bsky.social and @ppsp-team.bsky.social 👏 We show how brain stim can shape social inference in human–machine interaction 🧠🤖⚡ New causal evidence linking rTPJ to Theory-of-Mind & Self–Other distinction, & path towards social #neuromodulation!

7/ Big thanks to our supporting institutions: @umontreal.ca, @cra-chusj.bsky.social, @mila-quebec.bsky.social, @braincanada.bsky.social, @simonsfoundation.org, @azrielifoundation.bsky.social, @ivado.bsky.social & @cifar.bsky.social 🙏

6/ Grateful to all participants and to the dedicated @ppsp-team.bsky.social. Special thanks to @introspection.bsky.social for his guidance. Proud to share first authorship with @quentinmoreau.bsky.social and collaborate with Lisane Moses and Gabriela Milanova.

5/ Results: ❌ No effect of rTPJ stimulation on motor coordination (Experiment 1 and 2). ✅ Repeated HD-tRNS sharpened detection of competitive intent and reduced humanness attribution during competitive interactions (Experiment 1 only).

4/ Two complementary experiments: Exp1 (n=39): HD-tRNS⚡ or sham 🚫 randomized blocks Exp2 (n=40): HD-tRNS⚡ and sham 🚫 randomized trials During trials, participants synchronized finger movements with a covert virtual partner, then rated perceived cooperativeness & humanness.

3/ We applied high-definition transcranial random noise stimulation (HD-tRNS) over the right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ) of participants interacting with the virtual partner of the HDC, aiming to probe the rTPJ’s causal role in real-time social interaction.

2/ Our work directly builds on Dumas et al. (2020), who combined high-density EEG with the Human Dynamic Clamp (HDC) paradigm to reveal the rTPJ as a key cortical hub for integrating self–other representations.

1/ TL;DR: High-definition transcranial random noise stimulation (⚡) over the right temporoparietal junction (🧠) sharpened detection of competitive intent during interaction with a covert virtual partner (🤖)—without affecting motor coordination.

It's been a while since our last laminar MEG paper, but we're back! This time we push beyond deep versus superficial distinctions and go whole hog. Check it out- lots more exciting stuff to come! 🧠📈

Great thanks to coauthors and collaborators: Ishita Agarwal, Quentin Moreau (@quentinmoreau.bsky.social), Bassem Hiba, Sven Bestmann (@armlabucl.bsky.social), Gareth Barnes, and James Bonaiuto (@danclab.bsky.social). It was a huge amount of work and cluster time, but it’s out now!

🚨🚨🚨PREPRINT ALERT🚨🚨🚨 Neural dynamics across cortical layers are key to brain computations - but non-invasively, we’ve been limited to rough "deep vs. superficial" distinctions. What if we told you that it is possible to achieve full (TRUE!) laminar (I, II, III, IV, V, VI) precision with MEG!

You wouldn’t drink from a glass if a fish is IN the glass, or would not grab a chair if one is already sitting ON it. How do we represent relations between things? And how does it relate to object and action recognition? New paper out osf.io/preprints/ps... @mmellon.bsky.social

Cool video explaining what we do in the lab! And congrats again @danclab.bsky.social for this well deserved award !

It was an honor to be awarded this cool medal from @cnrs.fr @cnrs-rhoneauvergne.bsky.social. Sorry my French was only good enough to say "le mieux c'est que je vous montre" with a thick American accent! I was hoping to get dubbed, but they went with French subtitles

As @danclab.bsky.social wisely put it: “Hell is other people (’s data).” We’ve been deep in EEG data at the lab these past few months, juggling multiple datasets. And, well… sometimes (often?) we stumble upon weird artifacts 🧵⬇️

I thought that with LLMs, predatory emails were supposed to become more difficult to spot...

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy. It’s not rocket science.

I agree with this - Python dependency management truly is a dumpster fire.

Ça y est, j’ai supprimé mon compte X (Twitter), un réseau structuré par et pour l’extrême droite, qui enrichit Elon Musk. J’ai renoncé à plus de 210 000 abonnés et à la visibilité qui allait avec, mais le jeu n’en vaut pas la chandelle. Vous m'aidez à retrouver une audience ici ? ☺️

Have you been wanting to dive into laminar MEG, but have been held back by using windows? We've got you covered! laMEG now tested on windows! danclab.github.io/laMEG/window... Thanks to @quentinmoreau.bsky.social, Maxime Ferez, and Ludovic Darmet! #neuroscience #neuroskyence #compneurosky

I found the colour palette for the figures in your next fMRI paper #AcademicSky #NeuroSkyence #PsychSciSky

🚨 New paper out in PNASNexus! Using high-density EEG, computational modeling, and behavioral tests, we show that individuals with exceptional face recognition abilities have brain representations more similar to those of artificial neural networks of object vision and semantics

Roses are red, But that's not quite true, They absorb every wavelength of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, *Except* for that hue.

Congratulations @quentinmoreau.bsky.social ! Well deserved! I look forward to working together for many years!

Humbled to have been awarded a #MarieCurie postdoctoral grant 🧠 Huge thanks to Jimmy Bonaiuto at the @danclab.bsky.social for his mentorship and guidance, to @introspection.bsky.social for his support, and to everyone who directly or indirectly helped me over the years !
