Ultrasound stimulation for non-invasive neuro-modulation 🧠✨ I started working at Nudge 3 weeks ago, and I’ve seen so much progress already! Check us out ~
Our mission is to develop the best technology for interfacing with the brain to improve people’s lives.

It’s been an incredible time so far—today is my 90 day mark here and I’ve already had the opportunity to tackle some serious technical challenges as well as design and ship the latest device.

Nudge Zero has the potential to deliver anatomically precise, personalized treatments, engaging deep regions of the brain that are typically accessible only through invasive surgery.

This is Nudge Zero — a high channel count, ultrasound phased array, packed into a helmet structure that can be used in an MRI machine.

I was featured in MIT's Institute for Medical Science and Engineering's newsletter last week. Can you tell that North Carolina is one of my favorite places by the way I talk about it? Lol imes.mit.edu/news-events/com…

Thrilled to introduce @StadiumScience_ newest Science Advisor @setzersscience! Her first piece challenges common assumptions about sleep. Surprising fact: Getting more sleep doesn't automatically mean better sleep quality. Our metrics show complex interactions between sleep duration, efficiency & latency.

We mapped the subcortical hubs of brain networks that sustain consciousness to provide therapeutic targets for patients with severe brain injuries. preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… hub maps: github.com/ComaRecoveryLab/S… @MorganCambareri @andrewli1127 @andreashorn_ @lauradata

We spent hundreds of hours recording neural activity from sleep and arousal-related cell types in the deep brain, all while delivering variant focused ultrasound pulsing schemes to gain insight into one of the most daunting questions in the field: 'What are the parameters?'.

It has been an absolute honor to have worked with Dr. Laura Lewis (@lauradata) as her first PhD student. She is an inspiring, brilliant scientist, and the best mentor I could have asked for. I can't wait to see all of the great work that comes from the Lewis Lab!

Congratulations for an outstanding PhD defense by Dr. L. Kelton Wilmerding @means2anEngram about his dissertation work with me and @okaysteve! Kelton is a Renaissance Fair fan, so he requested a dubbing ceremony with his own sword.

Take a break from doomscrolling and relax with this dazzling video of the neurotransmitter glutamate being released into synapses, made possible by a new indicator developed by @abhi_aggarwal1, @PodgorskiLab, & team. Out in @NatureMethods: nature.com/articles/s41592-0… #NeuroTwitter
