Fostering robustness and reproducibility in applied neuroscience and AI/ML: We have a new TDBRAIN Lead for prediction of MDD status using EEG with AI/ML with a balanced accuracy of 63%, congrats Neumarker Inc, Qiang Li & Ken Wang! Who will improve this further? brainclinics.com/research/art...

Replication of SAINT-aiTBS in depression in new double-blind study demonstrating even higher remission of 50% at 4-wks FU! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Just came back from Palestine and really enjoyed training the UEF teams from Betlehem and Nablus on the use of TMS in mental health. We also donated two TMS systems for use in Bethlehem and Nablus, which makes it the first TMS available in Palestine!

Whether it's clinically better than racemic MDMA I couldn't say but here is a good piece from Gill Bedi looking at what we know...

A new successful replication in the TDBRAIN challenge by Wei Wu and Yonghao Song in predicting TMS Response from EEG! Let's focus on a future of robustness that can truly benefit patients! brainclinics.com/research/art...

Just out in TMS: Here we explain in more detail the differences between NCG-TMS and Heart-Brain Coupling in response to work from Mark George's group on heart-rate as a biomarker for TMS. Together with John Coetzee and Nolan Williams doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

We've lost a pioneer, an innovator, great mentor and friend. We'll terribly miss you Nolan...

What a great TMS Masterclass we just had, great engaging group of attendees and speakers from across the globe and learnt a lot on the latest in TMS and Brain Stimulation.

Fantastic talk by Joe Taylor on the „philosophers scan“ and how imaging can help neuromodulation at the Brainclinics TMS Masterclass in Nijmegen!

Just published: A study on the clinical effectiveness of transitioning to right lateral OFC-TMS following unsuccessful use of sequential bilateral DLPFC-TMS for major depression. Read more about the study at: doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

Disturbed sleep is a leading symptom and likely causal factor for the development of psychiatric diseases such as mood disorders. Here we review how sleep is altered in depression, and discuss the role of sleep for therapeutic approaches: www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S000...

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Thread with our reflections on the matter 👇

TMS also stimulates the trigeminal nerve which can result in clinical benefit independent of its direct cortical stimulation. TENS sham procedures help control for these effects, however such studies should be adequately powered since some level of response to just TENS sham are expected.

Inspiring days at Lviv hospital with great talks by Ilan Harpaz-Rotem and @noahsphilipmd.bsky.social along with successful completion of the first TMS hands-on training day.

On my way to Ukraine to donate our TMS equipment and train people to use TMS as a treatment for PTSD (with @noahsphilipmd.bsky.social and Unbroken Ukraine). Thx to @magstimegi.bsky.social, Deymed Diagnostic, and neurocare/Klaus Schellhorn for support!

www.nature.com/articles/s41... Excited to see this out in @natcomms.nature.com today! This paper builds on the lab's work on self-regulation of arousal through pupil-based biofeedback. We assessed several markers of cortical and cardiac arousal in a pure self-regulation and dual task setting.

New finding! 5-day accelerated TMS (no MRI needed) showed major PTSD symptom relief in n~100 Veterans—77% response, 62% remission. Fast, scalable, and effective with scalp-based targeting. A big step for accessible PTSD care. 👉 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #TMS #PTSD

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to stimulate deep w/in the brain w/o the need for brain surgery, and without actually making a physical lesion in the brain (i.e. FUS or pallidotomy)? This paper provides 'proof of concept' that a transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) approach may be achievable.
