🧠👶 Excited to share our latest work: 3-month-old infants can form long-term memories of new voices after familiarisation and a nap! Using EEG, we discovered that sleep spindles are associated with the emerging memory representation of the new voice.

🚀 Excited to share our latest preprint on using Riemannian Geometry to classify brain states with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Riemannian Geometry for the classification of brain states with fNIRS

Background Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has recently gained momentum as a reliable and accurate tool for assessing brain states. This increase in popularity is due to its robustness...

These findings highlight that fNIRS, with its portability and non-invasive nature, can be a powerful alternative to other neuroimaging techniques when paired with data analysis methods specifically tailored for it.

After that, we combine the kernel matrices into a block diagonal matrix. Our method achieves 96% accuracy in binary classification and 65% in 8-class classification of mental imagery tasks.

🎯 We introduce a classification framework that leverages the dual nature of the fNIRS signal. This approach significantly outperforms traditional classification methods by applying separate kernel functions and regularizations to each chromophore.

Now out at Comms Psych! nature.com/articles/s44271-0… Many thanks to our co-authors, and employees and visitors of the NEMO museum 💚 Almost 1,000 museum visitors donate their data per month, so I’m looking forward to adding more to OSF soon! #openscience

New paper led by @IsabelRaposo16 on altered rhythmic attentional sampling in frontoparietal lesion patients is now published in @CurrentBiology and available here sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Tweetprint below.
HelfrichLab@HelfrichLab8 Nov 2022
Is attention rhythmic in nature? We really enjoyed the ongoing debate led by @FiebelkornIan, @martin_a_vinck, @AyeletLandau, @DanieleRejo, @FriesLab. Here is our take led by @IsabelRaposo16 with causal lesion data: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/8)

Periodic neglect after frontoparietal lesions provides causal evidence for rhythmic attention...

Contemporary models conceptualize spatial attention as a blinking spotlight that sequentially samples visual space. Hence, behavior fluctuates over time even in states of presumed ‘sustained’...

Excited to share our new #preprint on primate saccade rhythmicity! We investigated temporal saccade dynamics in humans & macaques, revealing theta rhythmicity, however only under specific conditions. 🐒👀 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

4/ 🧠 Our insights indicate that while primate saccades aren’t perfectly regular, they can exhibit strong rhythmicity under certain conditions, suggesting a balance between predictability and visual system flexibility across tasks. 🔄👁️

Attention and microsaccades: do attention shifts trigger new microsaccades or only bias ongoing microsaccades? biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_neursci

Great work by @NaherTim and his colleagues at the @FriesLab! They explore saccade rhythmicity under different free-viewing conditions, in both, humans and macaques 👀

Do you like them neural manifolds? Then check our latest preprint "Neural manifolds in V1 change with top-down signals from V4 targeting the foveal region" 👀🧠💫
