Imminent abstract submission deadline alert for the *3rd International Concurrent TMS-fMRI Workshop* in Cancun (yep) Sept 15-17. Submit by Aug 4 here: tmsfmriworkshop.org - after which you'll practically taste the poolside cocktails and hear the incredible concurrent TMS-fMRI discourse in your ears.

Love it. Electromagnetome? Although pretty sure the Marvel Universe would have something suitable also :)

After many (many) years of work with Dr. Chantal Percival we have open-science published an "edited book" Cognitive
Modes Detectable with Task-Based fMRI. Results on a total of 28 tasks are reported.

it's so beautiful in print. Thank YOU @alexwoolgar.bsky.social for bringing this masterpiece home. For the rest of the world, it has NEVER been easier to do concurrent TMS-fMRI and this paper tells you just how easy. It'll be in every home soon...you heard it here first 😉

Accepting uncertainty such a fundamental one that runs at odds with how scientists are trained to approach research. But it is also one of the most fun parts of it all imho.

In Oscars award acceptance-style, I want to thank the super co-authors who showed that team work makes the dream work, which here is to have the world love concurrent TMS-fMRI as much as we do!

Another outstanding from @masudhusain.bsky.social article telling it how it is. Surely our big academic brains can figure out a way to solve this problem...

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness

1/10 🧠 We need better ways to measure brain excitability in psychiatric disorders. The prefrontal cortex—key target for brain stimulation treatments—is particularly hard to assess. Our new studies tackle this with systematic mapping! bit.ly/4cjHknX & bit.ly/3PW8RCx

Highly recommended reading for those conducting fMRI to investigate behaviour, if I do say so myself :) We are ready to take your calls (via the JoCN Forum) for any feedback, ideas, debate, praise, and so on.

Had a wonderful chat with Andy Jahn on Andy's BrainCast! Andy, you were such a gracious host. We went over cognitive modes detectable by fMRI, interpretation, reverse inference, task vs. rest fMRI, how to emphasize anatomical patterns, etc. It's here:

I've always appreciated his approach of trying to bring everything together to try and explain behaviour. Most of us spend a lot of time trying to break things down into their constituent pieces, and along the way we stray from the original problem...why do I do dumb stuff with my big brain?

Love it! I feel like aperiodic activity is a veritable goldmine...can't wait for what it reveals with more research like this.

Prof. Alex Woolgar @alexwoolgar.bsky.social · Dec 18

First lab paper since moving to bluesky! In which I learnt not to ignore aperiodic #EEG #MEG signals.... Led by the fabulous Runhao Lu.

Runhao Lu @runhaolu.bsky.social · Dec 18

✨New paper @commsbio.bsky.social !! Using MEG/EEG, we investigated domain-general cognitive systems in human brains implemented by aperiodic and oscillatory responses. Great collaboration with @alexwoolgar.bsky.social , John Duncan, and Nadene Dermody. rdcu.be/d34pt
