🚨New Results! Really excited to share this: Not just signal right or wrong, feedback reorganizes population geometry of learning targets in vlPFC, moving representations toward future retrieval states. Notably, oscillations (TG-PAC & beta) gate when this transformation occurs.

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Runhao Lu, Elizabeth Pollitt & Alexandra Woolgar: Distinct and complementary mechanisms of oscillatory and aperiodic alpha activity in visuospatial attention doi.org/10.1162/IMAG.a…

The special issue celebrating John Duncan's retirement is now out! Check out all the gem articles here: sciencedirect.com/special-issue/… and the editorial (see next figure in the thread for an entertaining analysis) doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

@RaviMill This study is now peer reviewed and published at Nature Communications! Congratulations to first author @RaviMill Check out the paper here (open access): nature.com/articles/s4146…

@XiaoboLiu29 Thanks Xiaobo!

@Runhao_Lu Nice work,bro

Now out in Imaging Neuroscience! doi.org/10.1162/IMAG.a… Using TMS-EEG, we showed that alpha rh-TMS could differentiatially modulate alpha oscillations and aperiodic activity, and then improve representation of visuospatial attention.

How can the "default network" support many forms of introspective thought? Our new review argues these functions rely on distinct MTL connections: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Thanks to Deniz Vatansever & Jess Andrews-Hanna for the invitation to this Special Issue!

🚨We believe this is a major step forward in how we study hippocampus function in healthy humans. Using novel behavioral tasks, fMRI, RL & RNN modeling, and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), we demonstrate the causal role of hippocampus in relational structure learning.

@ZiyaoZhangZZ @PNASNews @jalewpea Congrats Ziyao!!

Excited to share my first fMRI paper in @PNASNews. We @jalewpea found that suppressing the encoding of one event can strengthen the neural representation of the next in CA1, and bias retrieval-related neural restatement away from suppressed information. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Incredible efforts from our brilliant Part II student Isabelle Woods Rogan, and great supervision from Prof Alex Woolgar @AlexWoolgar @brainstimj

New results! We tested 3 control conditions for rh-TMS entrainment and showed ar-TMS performs best (matching sensory without inducing oscillatory effects). Also explored how rh-TMS/ar-TMS/sham-TMS differentially impact Oscillatory and Aperiodic activity! brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

Great conference on cognitive/neuro science, AI, and modeling at Cambridge! Call for abstracts &registrations now 🚨 sites.google.com/view/capbs2025… @Selwyn1882 @mrccbu @CamNeuro @AccelerateSci

It's finally here! Use the Network Correspondence Toolbox to help interpret your neuroimaging findings 🧠 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Is alpha in spatial attention pure oscillatory - or aperiodic? New results based on 3 EEG datasets + TMS-EEG: relative to arrhythmic-TMS, alpha rh-TMS ↑ oscillatory but ↓ aperiodic alpha - yet both supported spatial attention via distinct mechanisms.⚡🧠🌊 #neuroscince

Excited to see this out - First time to write a single-author article, thanks to the special issue honoring John Duncan's career in Neuropsychologia🧠🌊

New paper alert! Runhao Lu (@runhao_lu) and colleagues @brainstimj show alpha rTMS boosts decoding of where to attend during selective attention, using cutting-edge TMS-EEG. No effects on what to attend or feature info. Fascinating insights: doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.…

🎉Paper alert! Using multimodal MRI and multi-approach analysis, we provide robust, in-vivo evidence of brain hyper-excitability in #TLE patients, and links to microcircuit dysfunctions, clinical severity & cognitive impairment. 🧠🧲 @IPNMcGill @mcgillu ➡️doi.org/10.1002/advs.2…

Huge thanks to @AlexWoolgar for making this work possible - we started this proj and set up the TMS-EEG from scratch at @mrccbu 3 years ago (!) Also big thanks to @catrionascriv , @Jade_BJackson, Lizzie Michael, & John Duncan for an amazing collab!

🚨New paper @brainstimj !⚡Using TMS-EEG & MVPA in a selec attention task, we show parietal alpha rh-TMS (entrainment) specifically and causally enhances spatial attention ('where' info) coded by ERPs & alpha power, but not 'what' info or visual features. brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…
