Investigating sensorimotor beta burst dynamics as a robust biomarker for graded force modulation in humans https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.07.723396v1

I am happy to bring your attention to an upcoming workshop I am co-organising on early social experience, neuropsychological development, and mental health. This will be held in Sicily on September 2nd-5th 2026: centromajorana.it/earlydevelop...

If you need a method to infer causality from neural data, even when the signal is short, check our recent paper: Paper: joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21... Code: github.com/CMC-lab/Tran...

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by George M. Opie, Ulf Ziemann, et al: Diazepam alters the shape of alpha oscillations recorded from human cortex using EEG doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

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 👇👇👇

How dynamics arise from the structure is my biggest interest. In this study, we started with a small step and asked how structure constrains dynamics. Spoiler: would that it were so simple… (1/6)

Thrilled to share this work, spearheaded by the Danc lab (led by James Bonaiuto) @danclab.bsky.social, in collaboration with us, especially Matteo Maspoli @mattgmasp.bsky.social and Danila Shelepenkov @shpen.bsky.social, and other groups who share the belief that MEG still has untapped potential!

The Cognition & Brain Dynamics lab is no on BlueSky!

I'm looking back at this paper written 2019 & published 2021 with @andreaeyleen.bsky.social: How Computational Modeling Can Force Theory Building in Psychological Science (pdf: oliviaguest.com/doc/guest_ma...) We presented a positive view and kind, if I do say so myself, compatibilist stance. 1/

This is too real

Grâce à des travaux sur la #MEG laminaire développés dans le laboratoire du Dr. Bonaiuto, il est possible d'estimer l'activité neuronale à différents niveaux de profondeur des couches #corticales. On vous raconte comment. @isc-mj.bsky.social @danclab.bsky.social www.cortex-mag.net/cartographie...

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

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

It's out out. Saying that your favourite signal is an oscillation is not enough, it would be good to quantify to what extent.

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Siqi Zhang, James J. Bonaiuto, et al: Multi-scale parameterization of neural rhythmicity with lagged Hilbert autocoherence doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

Our article on lagged Hilbert autocoherence is out: direct.mit.edu/imag/article... Just because you do a TF transformation on your signal doesn't mean that it's an oscillation. Siqi Zhang @maciekszul.bsky.social Sotirios Papadopoulos, @alimassera.bsky.social, @hollyrayson.bsky.social #neuroskyence

Do you like RSA analysis, M/EEG and Bayes? Then you'll love Variational RSA for M/EEG, by recently completed PhD student @alexlepauvre.bsky.social from Lucia Melloni's group. It's a method and SPM toolbox for multivariate analysis of M/EEG data. arxiv.org/pdf/2511.01784 . 🧵 [1/4]

There's still time to apply! #neurojobs

📈🧠 We're looking for brains! 🧠📈 Postdoc + PhD positions are available to help pioneer fetal MEG with optically pumped magnetometers, measuring prenatal responses to sound and light to understand how we start making sense of the world even before we're born. 🐣 Please get in touch to hear more!

Thanks so much for the invitation and what a cool logo! Looking forward to it!

I'm co-organising a #CNS2026 symposium with @adykstra.bsky.social - "Non-invasive meso-scale dynamics of perception and cognition", including @darcywaller.bsky.social and @lonikefaes.bsky.social. If you're a member, please vote for it and help us make this happen!

What Darcy said! If you're a @cogneuronews.bsky.social member and want to learn at #CNS2026 how MEG and fMRI can yield circuit-level insight into perception and cognition, vote for our symposium! Co-organized by laminar MEG guru @danclab.bsky.social. Vote here! www.cogneurosociety.org/account-login/

If you’re a @cogneuronews.bsky.social member, check out and vote on the great lineup of symposia for 2026, and plz consider our symposium “Non-invasive meso-scale dynamics of perception and cognition”, organized by @adykstra.bsky.social including James Bonauito and @lonikefaes.bsky.social!

Simulations are fun! Especially with the right tools😉. @willenjoy.bsky.social and I (with support from Mina Jamshidi) made a toolbox for simulating EEG/MEG data meegsim.readthedocs.io I put together a quick simulation using it for this short clip. Took me 10 minutes (no, really!) #brainmovies

This was a fun paper to work on! Thanks to Andy for coordinating this. It made me think more deeply about where we might be able to go with laminar MEG, and I learned a lot in the process! #neuroskyence

🚨Postdoc job offer🚨 Are you interested in beta bursts? Want to help drive methods for laminar inference with MEG? Now hiring a postdoc: run head-cast MEG experiments, help build our laMEG toolbox, and collaborate across Lyon–Marseille–Strasbourg. emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U... Please repost! 🧠📈

In an EEG study spearheaded by Marlena Baldauf, we show that 8-month-old babies’ visual systems resonate at 4Hz (theta rhythm) — unlike adults, who resonate around 10Hz (alpha). 👶🧠 echoes at 4Hz 👩‍🦰🧠 echoes at ~10Hz Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to share a new preprint in which @paulbuerkner.com and I introduce a novel model-based approach for precisely estimating the onset and offset of M/EEG effects! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Beta burst waveform extraction using novel 4He-OPMs https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.07.10.663870v1

Beta burst waveforms in PD! We find that specific types of beta bursts are rate-modulated by l-dopa, and STN-cortical connectivity during these burst types is related to clinical improvement. Fantastic work by Hasnae Agouram with @pierpasorre.bsky.social 🧠📈

Pleased to see this paper finally published. We investigated which conductive models are appropriate for source analysis of spine electrophysiology. Turns out modelling the bone is quite important! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out Jan's poster if you're at @meguki2025.bsky.social Great work! I'm so pleased to see these results replicated independently, even with a different type of MEG scanner!

I’m sure you’ve always wondered how reliable Granger causality of source reconstructed MEG really is. Better yet, you surely wonder how to improve it. You’re in luck, I’ve just arrived at @meguki2025.bsky.social to discuss it. All jokes aside, meet me at poster 38 if you’re interested. 👋🏼🧠

happy that our article about mu & alpha rhythm waveform shape in development is now finally out in the open: doi.org/10.1162/jocn... oscillation frequency changes across development (one of the most robust findings in the oscillation world). in this work, we also look at waveform shape changes.

And huge thanks to James Bonaiuto of @danclab.bsky.social - their fantastic laminar MEG toolbox laMEG paved the way to SPM-Python! github.com/danclab/laMEG

The beta release of SPM-Python is out now! Amazing work by Johan Medrano @johmedr.bsky.social , Yael Balbastre, Yulia Bezsudnova @ybezs.bsky.social and other members of their team. A new era for SPM! #OHBM2025

So cool to see this taking off! Soon laMEG won't have to support our own compiled version of SPM

I once ate at a thai restaurant at the same time as leonardo dicaprio. I remember him trying unsuccessfully to get his parking validated.

Exactly. Tell that to reviewer 2!

Beyond deep versus superficial: true laminar inference with MEG https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.28.656642v1

This is probably also a good time to highlight that if you want to try laminar MEG yourself, our toolbox laMEG is available: github.com/danclab/laMEG and we've updated the wiki with guidance on MRI sequences, head-cast contruction, and MEG-MRI coregistration: github.com/danclab/laME...

🚨🚨🚨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!

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! 🧠📈

DANClab is at #NeuroFrance2025 in full force! @quentinmoreau.bsky.social @hollyrayson.bsky.social Tomorrow at 9h30 I'll give a talk about the cool methods we've developed to analyze beta bursts

Well well well, if it isn't the perfect solution to my current problem. Seems to work too!

This looks so cool
