🕊 We hope this can bring fresh insights to reconcile conflicting findings in a field undergoing major revision—showing how brain state might explain when perceptual rhythms emerge, and emphasizing methodological rigor.

🧠 When attention wanes or decision criteria are high a 17Hz rhythm is found in the frequency domain. This reveals how internal states shape action-perception coupling.

📊 We used robust and sensitive methods (single-trial spectral analysis & random-effects) with a much larger sample size than usual.

🚀 New paper in iScience! We tested 50 participants to investigate phase-locked perceptual modulations after motor actions—and the results are surprising!

⚡ Different from previous studies, we found these modulations ONLY emerge during specific internal states:

Very happy to see this out! In this work I demonstrate the potential of OPMs for laminar MEG and investigate the impact of factors such as sensor counts, number of measurement axes, co-registration errors, misestimated forward models…
Already looking forward to Imaging Neuroscience’s 2025 collage!
