In our now published Perspective in @NatRevNeurosci, we propose that six main mechanisms of neural #oscillations contribute to multi-timescale neural dynamics in #unisensory and #multisensory integration nature.com/articles/s4158… @SpringerNature @seeingwithsound

The key to understanding alpha phase and perception Individual differences! Our Neurobehavioral Link Function models how each person's alpha phase uniquely modulates multisensory perception and proves causality 📄 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #CognitiveNeuroscience #Multisensory

🧠 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. 📄 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Neuroscience

In this figure: Participant 1 (solid line) and Participant 2 (dashed) have opposite NBLF shapes. When we entrain alpha at the same phase, however, they show opposite effects on multisensory perception. Personalized neuroscience in action. 🧠

Step 3: Independent replication (n=29, psychophysics): Phase effects at 5 & 10 Hz ✅, NOT 15 Hz ❌ Frequency-specific. Individually variable. Causally proven. Implications: Personalized, phase-targeted neurotechnologies. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #OpenScience #BrainStimulation

Step 2: Causality proof: Individual NBLFs predict entrainment effects on multisensory causal prior (r=0.618) 🎯 Specific to: 👉 8-12 Hz, not harmonics 👉 Common cause (CC) judgements 👉 Pre-stimulus interval Highly personalized, not generic #Multisensory #CognitiveNeuroscience

New paper: Working memory readout varies with frontal theta rhythms. A theta traveling wave swept across the frontal cortex like radar, modulating working memory performance. Because cognition is rhythmic. cell.com/neuron/abstrac… #neuroscience @MIT_Picower @mitbrainandcog @MIT

In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection letter from Nature. His findings were not "a sufficient advance in our understanding". 27 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery. Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.
