I remember breaking down to my Ph.D. advisor about how stupid I felt while troubleshooting a problem in my project when she handed me this paper. Years later it is still relevant to young students starting off in Science. It's ok to feel stupid, we all do on a regular basis.

Check out the latest from the Lam Lab! A deep learning algorithm to non-invasively detect hippocampal epileptiform discharges on scalp EEG. Find out how we learned to “see the invisible”! Congrats to first author and deep learning wizard, @maurice_abj! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Noninvasive Detection of Hippocampal Epileptiform Activity on Scalp Electroencephalogram

This diagnostic study investigates whether a computer algorithm can be trained to detect hippocampal epileptiform activity on scalp electroencephalogram without the need for intracranial electrodes.

Thanks to the help of 52 participants, in this preprint, we asked how single pulse direct electrical stimulation location, duration, and current alter intracranial brain activity. @MGHNeurology @MGH_CNTR @MGHNeurosurg @BWHNeurosurgery @BWHNeurology biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Impact of stimulation location relative to grey and white matter on single pulse electrical...

Background Electrical neuromodulation is an increasingly common therapy for a wide variety of neuropsychiatric diseases. Unfortunately, therapeutic efficacy is inconsistent, possibly a result of our...
