Lots of exciting work from the lab this year!

What an incredible week :)

Very cool- I’ve always wondered about this question- especially with regards to energetic trade offs of different states, even sleep!

#CHARM: A Novel Tool for Silencing Pathogenic #Proteins in the #Brain New this week in @ScienceMagazine @brainpostco's scientific summary by  @Neuro_Meredith brainpost.co/weekly-brainpo…

Preprint alert 📢 with @dlevenstein, @prokraustinator, Bradley Voytek, @_rdgao In this work, we evaluate the theoretical status of neural oscillations and local field potentials generally. A thread... 🧵 osf.io/preprints/psya…

In Scientific American's (Feb 2024) article 'Minds Everywhere,' @drmichaellevin and others present several examples of bioelectricity serving as the integrating mechanism for functionality or agency across several things such as the Planarian, fly traps, slime mold, sensitive mimosa, and frog heart/skin cells or human lung cells, artificially assembled into a weird new thing. The article states that anesthesia even works to silence the functionality of the Venus fly trap and sensitive mimosa. It argues memory can be saved in a sort of 'state space' held ongoing by electrical signals, even in the absence of the Planarian's head/brain. Almost as though the bioelectric ongoing signal holds a fourier state space summing up experience or some other weird way of holding it. He also discusses 'subroutines' where applying the right voltage can induce growth of an eye at a weird place on a clawed frog tadpole, but the eye moves to the right spot as it transitions to a grown frog.

Congratulations @Melissa_Franch on this incredible Nature paper- can’t wait to see what’s next! ✨

The "Ship of Theseus" article has been edited 1792 times since it was created in July of 2003. At present, 0% of the phrases in the original article (seen below) remain.

New results! A model built like the brain but NOT trained on neural data. Yet, it replicated neural (and behavioral) data. And it made novel predictions that were confirmed in data! New learning principles emerge from biomimetic computational primitives biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Had a great day 1 at SfN presenting my research! … and appreciating the giant lamps!

SATURDAY 11th, 1pm, NANO09.01 (WCC 201): @Neuro_Meredith presents "Intracranial neural dynamics of attention in rapid visual recognition".

Exciting work from the Tandon lab at SfN this year!

@ElliotMurphy91 @CoganLab Building off this, in our multiple linear regression analysis, we account for the interaction between fixed effects of Lempel-Ziv complexity and note position.

Last week, undergraduate senior Kassie Hamilton presented @Neuro_Meredith et al.’s new paper on cortical localization of structural complexity differences in language and music. This 🧵 explores our thoughts (🤍 & ❔) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@CoganLab @TandonLab @UTHealth @ElliotMurphy91 @OWoolnough @KSnyderNeuro @DrNTandon Thanks so much for your questions and engagement with our research!

Thank you to the authors @TandonLab @UTHealth for your work, and we look forward to following its progress! cc: @ElliotMurphy91, Xavier Scherschligt, @OWoolnough, Cale W. Morse, @KSnyderNeuro, Bradford Z. Mahon, @DrNTandon

@ElliotMurphy91 @CoganLab Building off this, neighboring pSTG electrodes exhibit differences in BGA dynamics during music and lang perception and production (Fig 2 & 3), whereas CSM in pSTG largely impaired both perception and production of music and language (Fig 4).

@CoganLab CSM occurred throughout the session, and in Figure 4, we indentified sites where CSM during production or perception led to impaired behavioral performance. Check out Supplemental Video 1 for a snippet from the recording session! doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…

❔2️⃣: The causal role of sites within the pSTG in both language and music was shown through CSM. However, which part of this process is interrupted is not specified. At which early stage, integral to both processes, is it expected that pSTG cortical stimulation is disrupting?

@NeuroMDAUTH Thank you so much!

Congratulations to our lovely @Neuro_Meredith! Excited to read your posts! 🤗🧠✨️
