Day 8: Still on the topic of memory - a lot of people want to have a “better” memory. Improving memory is also an active research topic, as it has tremendous potential in disorders that affect memory, such as dementia. One method that is currently being studied is transcranial stimulation - basically applying small currents to the scalp. The results are still somewhat mixed and a lot more research is necessary to optimize such protocols, but that hasn’t stopped the development of commercial applications that claim unproven benefits. Yet here’s the kicker: when tested in the lab, some of these commercial devices actually had negative effects, leading to worse memory performance.

We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Decoding #HeartRate Signals To Refine #BrainStimulation #Therapies for #Depression

Dr. Aryn Gittis shared insights about basal ganglia circuits and the new deep brain stimulation protocol that she is developing which leverages knowledge of these circuits and neuron firing patterns to provide longer-lasting effects.

New preprint! We observed a nonlinear relationship between pupil dilation and the intensity of transcutaneous auricular #vagus nerve stimulation (#taVNS) in adult humans. We discuss the potential role of stimulation parameterization in using #pupillometry as biomarker of taVNS’s neuromodulatory effects.

Hi everyone! I'm very happy to post our new paper we just got published in the Journal of Physiology:

"Scale-invariant Changes in Corticospinal Excitability Reflect Multiplexed Oscillations in the Motor Output"

(Open access here: tinyurl.com/yka2w7hb )

Authors are @marco_emanuele , me, Giacomo Koch, Luciano Fadiga and Alice Tomassini

It took quite some time and effort to get it nice and polished, and now I'm so proud of it!
Marco and Alice did an amazing job!

Hi everyone! here is our annual call for #PhD #students

Please #boost !!

https://www.unife.it/studenti/dottorato/en/concorsi-en/concorso-per-titoli-e-colloquio-per-laccesso-al-39deg-ciclo

We are a happy bunch of engineers, biologists, psychologists and medical doctors trying to make sense of the #neurophysiology of action-perception coupling during solo (boring) and interactive (fun!) tasks.

We do a lot of #brainstimulation , #electroencephalography , #motioncapture , etc

We're also a weird bunch, because we love the #history of ideas, #OldNeuroPapers and many other unrelated things :))

Here are some recent representative publications:
