@PeterSjostedtH @theodorus5 @AhQFish No one knows enough about the brain to dismiss any signal as epiphenominal. When someone says "epiphenominal", I hear "doesn't fit my theory". If a theory can't explain data, the theory is the problem, not the data.

New research using AI and MRI on the lower leg points to a simple takeaway: bigger calf muscles can push down harder at the ankle—think a stronger push when pointing your toes or pushing off when you walk. Extra fat inside the muscle doesn’t.

🧠 Why have EEG/MEG alpha phase studies been so inconsistent about effects on #perception?
NEW PREPRINT: Individual differences are key. Our new Neurobehavioral Link Function proves alpha phase CAUSALLY shapes #multisensory integration.

Thread on a new paper by Ned Block (@De_dicto): "Can only meat machines be conscious?"
Main point: many discussions assume that only the computational & functional features of a system are relevant to whether it's conscious. But the underlying biology might also matter. 🧵1/

In a sense yes, but does network science help us understand the brain as a complex system?
Intriguing paper.
If anything the paper has 800+ refs!

@nico_hinrichs @PessoaBrain Will read. But the real question is: do our imaging tools and analyses actually capture brain complexity and dynamics? Let’s first grasp what amplitude, temporal dynamics, and connectivity mean perceptually. Then decide if it’s really a “complex network".
English
@PessoaBrain I certainly hope it does! Geometry might then help us understand it better ;-)

Original: Williams, Dr. @Pain_NeuRa &al. examined the reliability and measurement error of two commonly used pain scales in people with low back pain.

Excited to share the first in our series of papers using hypothesis-driven analyses to identify reproducible, verifiable biomarkers of chronic pain. We compared ML vs. statistical accuracy and validated findings across three cohorts (N=197, one offsite).

@netphys1 et al. find that chronic low back pain is associated with hyperconnectivity between the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex regions, a pattern that predicts pain intensity and was partly reproduced between different study cohorts #PAIN bit.ly/4neD5zr

We are having an amazing time learning about the brain circuitry at the Canadian Association for Neuroscience meeting in Toronto. Not a lot of human brain neuroimaging or pain mechanisms, but hey, that can change!
