🚀New paper out! With @lauradugue.bsky.social & @kirstenpetras.bsky.social, we show that traveling waves seen in EEG/MEG sensors might reflect real waves on the brain’s visual cortices—not just artifacts. Based on a MEG-EEG dataset with visually triggered traveling waves. tinyurl.com/st4bkday

How does the brain sample the #visual environment in space and time? @iraposo.bsky.social &co show that two distinct temporal patterns (rhythmic oscillations & aperiodic timescales) predict attention-guided behavior @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3ThTKVy

New preprint with amazing work from @nchalas.bsky.social: How does respiration influence (un-)predictable near-threshold perception? MEG, arousal modulation, excitability states, respiration phase-resolved connectivity changes - it's all there :) #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

For auditory processing aficionados: new from Y Sun, O Ghitza & G Michalareas tracking rate of periodicity is achievable without sharp acoustic edges or consistent phase alignment to envelope. consistent with assuming distinct processes for phase and rate tracking www.jneurosci.org/content/45/2...

tACS modulates entrainment to rhythmic #auditory stimuli. @ycabral.bsky.social & Molly Henry show that effects of tACS depend on the individual's preferred frequency, and that #sensory stimuli have stronger effects than #tACS on behavior when both are applied @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3FyIot4

How does the brain track rhythms—and can we hack it? In our new study, just published @plosbiology.org, we dive deeper into neural entrainment—how the brain synchronizes to rhythms in our environment—and explore whether transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can modulate this process.

Why do we not remember being a baby? One idea is that the hippocampus, which is essential for episodic memory in adults, is too immature to form individual memories in infancy. We tested this using awake infant fMRI, new in @science.org #ScienceResearch www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
