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.

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.

A privilege to be a part of the inaugural NY BCI Symposium presenting on BCI clinical outcome assessments. Having ppl w lived experience, advocates, FDA, CMS, researchers, industry, clinicians and VCs in the room was monumental. Thank you to @MountSinaiNeuro for organzing

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?'.

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

(1/2) Our 2 new methods for segmenting thalamic nuclei from T1 + diffusion scans are now available! 1. Bayesian method: robust to contrast of structural images. 2. Neural network: faster, better job with larger voxels. Implementation in @FreeSurferMRI freesurfer.net/fswiki/Thalam…

excited to share @stephaniedwill new paper! We found we could induce CSF flow in the awake human brain, by presenting intense visual stimuli. This shows that neuronal activity can drive fluid flow, and suggests neurovascular coupling contributes! journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…

I was wondering about retention of various professor phenotypes through the ranks (estimated by age) and here it is in data from NIH, I wasn't just imagining that women and folks from minoritized backgrounds had larger attrition. Data from elifesciences.org/articles/7…
