Late Breaking: Congratulations to HBM fellow Dr. Bola Eldoqsh on the acceptance of his 1/f EEG study as a late-breaking abstract at AES 2026! Provisional running title: 1/f EEG in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and PNES. Among other findings, median 1/f estimates from one-minute EEG segments strongly correlated with estimates from full-duration EEG recordings, r ≈ 0.93 for the aperiodic exponent. A step in the right direction toward more efficient EEG analysis and optimizing epilepsy practice through computational signal processing and AI. #AES2026 #PNES

Some count. Some hurt. Some repeat. We grow. We love. Life comes full circle. Let growth and love be what we leave behind.

Cigdem is on a roll. After her recent NEST faculty work at Cleveland Clinic, there is another reason to celebrate: Dr. Cigdem Isitan-Alkawadri’s nomination for the Allegheny County Medical Society’s 2026 Ralph C. Wilde Leadership Award. I have cared for many patients alongside Cigdem, and I can attest to how highly they speak of her. Amid a busy clinical schedule and life’s ups and downs, recognition from a colleague means a great deal. Congratulations, Cigdem, and thank you to Dr. Holly Appleberry for the nomination. Well deserved.

The next test for AI in neurology: a new patient, a different hospital, a decision that matters. Our Frontiers AI in Neurology collection, Volume II, is open for submissions. What would it take for your model to help in the clinic? frontiersin.org/research-top…

“The last few years have reminded me that life is fragile.” -SPJ Behind every brain map is a person: memories to keep, words to speak, a life to live. That is why the science & records matter.

Twenty years in science, and the company still surprises and amuses me. Explorers, rebels, alchemists—and a few familiar faces in the mirror. New essay: The Company Science Keeps. humanbrainmapping.net/blogs/…
