ConnectToBrain

@OHBMequinoX @MarzettiLaura @vittomeg @rjirjirji 1 Brain disorders cause suffering and yearly costs of €1000bn in Europe alone. Non-invasive neuromodulation with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has demonstrated moderate to good results and has been approved widely for clinical use. doi.org/10.1016/j.clin… #OHBMx

Let's get started with another (8th) TMS-EEG Science Factory and Summer School! @AaltoUniversity @rjirjirji @Connect2Brain #tms #tms_eeg_summer_school #neuroscience #tms_eeg

Don’t forget to register for the 8th Science Factory: TMS–EEG Workshop and Summer School. The registration period for the event is still open for a week, until June 2, 2022, with the event taking place September 16-21, 2022. More details: aalto.fi/en/events/8th-…

Through the use of extensive realistic simulations, we paved the way to the introduction of best-practice guidelines to perform a real-time frequency-specific phase-coupling analysis! doi.org/10.1088/1741-2…

Ulf Ziemann introducing the ConnectToBrain symposium for closed-loop TMS @ulfziemann1 @Connect2Brain

We are developing the closed-loop EEG-mTMS system within the @Connect2Brain consortium!! 🤯🧠😎 @vittomeg is presenting our last achievements within this exciting project, at #icon2022 !! 🧠⚡➰

We typically define the spatial specificity of TMS in terms of the electric field. However, the non-linear response behavior of neurons affects the spatial resolution of TMS, which hence depends also on the stimulation intensity. ijbem.org/volume23/numbe…

At ICON 2022, a symposium titled "ConnectToBrain: Closed-loop multi-locus TMS for modification of cognitive processes" will be held on Sunday 22. Speakers will be Prof. Risto Ilmoniemi, Prof. Vittorio Pizzella, Dr. Pedro Gordon, Prof. Gian Luca Romani, Prof. Ulf Ziemann.

Dr. Victor Souza will present brain research to kids in Portuguese online on June 3rd @OHBM Kids. He will talk about brain stimulation and movements, involving some of the latest research in the ConnectToBrain project. Register at forms.gle/DrTts7N1T9uGUX… youtube.com/watch?v=Vnld5L…

Department of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering (NBE) at @AaltoUniversity will organize the 8th Science Factory: TMS–EEG Workshop and Summer School, on September 16–21, 2022 @tmseeg Registration deadline: June 2, 2022 More information at aalto.fi/en/events/8th-…

We made a two-coil TMS transducer that allows manipulating the pulse orientation accurately without manual coil movement. We also created a logistic model describing the dependency of the motor response amplitude on the stimulus orientation and intensity. doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.…

Multi-locus TMS system with a 5-coil transducer and an algorithm for electric field targeting enable electronically controlled brain stimulation within a cortical region: doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.…

In this article, we used machine learning to model how cortical activity encodes excitability, which can be utilized in designing personalized brain stimulation. doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

In this article we show how one can decrease the number of coils in mTMS transducer or increase the stimulation coverage of preset transducer size by reducing the stimulation target focality. doi.org/10.1088/1741-2…

mTMS was featured in Finnish news! is.fi/kotimaa/art-20…

We are seeking for a talented PostDoc with a strong background in machine learning to develop algorithms for the identification of personalized features of EEG to guide our newly developed multilocus TMS in a closed-loop approach. More info here: euraxess.de/de/node/620897

Check out our recent study on the typical dwell times of spontaneous phase-coupling in the interhemispheric M1 network, in relation to brain-state-dependent stimulation doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.…

The induction of low-frequency TMS plasticity is dependent on the phase of the ongoing local brain oscillation. This might guide future developments in personalized therapeutic brain stimulation. See our publication by Baur et. al: doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.…
