Out now as a preprint!

We investigated the effect of outcome-uncertainty on learning and endogenous pain modulation in a probabilistic gambling task.

Results show that pain inhibition from winning pain relief increases as a function of certainty in what action lead to the relief of pain.

Just arrived at @meguki2025.bsky.social excited to present results on head movement reduction in people with Parkinson‘s using individual head casts. Additionally we can replicate prior findings on laminar source reconstruction! If you want to find out more, do not hesitate to find me at poster 45!

I’m sure you’ve always wondered how reliable Granger causality of source reconstructed MEG really is. Better yet, you surely wonder how to improve it. You’re in luck, I’ve just arrived at @meguki2025.bsky.social to discuss it. All jokes aside, meet me at poster 38 if you’re interested. 👋🏼🧠

Now out in the final version @elife.bsky.social: Context-dependent modulations of subthalamo-cortical synchronization during rapid reversals of movement direction in Parkinson’s disease doi.org/10.7554/eLif...
Context-dependent modulations of subthalamo-cortical synchronization during rapid reversals of movement direction in Parkinson’s disease
Beta synchrony between motor cortex and the subthalamic nucleus is intensified when instructional cues within a continuous motor sequence become less predictable, calling for more cautious behavior.

When measuring activity in different parts of the brain in tremor patients, we find activity to be rhythmic and synchronized in certain areas. The brain rhythm matches the rhythm of the shaking hand. We believe it might cause the shaking
