Changes in cognition are some of the first noticeable symptoms of mental health conditions like depression. This study is a roadmap for neuroscientists and clinicians looking to personalize psychiatric interventions and identify where cognitive deficits and diagnostic symptoms overlap in the brain.

Our latest profile is here! Dr. Nicole Rust (@nicolecrust.bsky.social) studies the neural representations of mood & has recently published a book about new ways we can conduct neuroscience research to better undersand mental illness. Learn more below:

Let’s talk @storiesofwin.bsky.social. I’m flattered to be among their profiles (coming soon) & I want to elevate the team behind this terrific effort. /1

Excited to share this profile + interview with Dr. Emily Jacobs! Amazing work on human precision brain imaging across hormonal fluctuations, and such an inspiring story! I had such a great time interviewing her!

Theo Kertesz, a brilliant intern here in the B&C lab, wrote a fantastic piece about my PhD research. Read it on Medium! medium.com/p/listening-...

Started a new postdoc at Yale in @brognition.bsky.social Lab with Kia Nobre! Studying adaptive cognition in humans using brain recordings—both on and in the head. New lab, new city, new chapter!

New Stories of WiN profile. Writing about Melissa's journey was so fun. I love hearing about scientists who are having a blast doing research and it's a gift to pass along their enthusiasm!

We need multimodal data 💯 current frameworks overlook that single-nuclei transcriptomics reveals over 50 distinct inhibitory subtypes with potentially different contributions to circuit function throughout the lifespan! My research aims to relate these macro-scale measures to microcircuits 🙏

Thanks for reading! Full piece here: doi.org/10.1016/j.bp... #EEG #Neuroscience #Psychiatry #Biomarkers

If we want biomarkers that actually reflect biology, we need signal
analyses that are both specific and grounded in physiology.
Otherwise, we’re just guessing at the trunk.

Like the parable of the blind men and the elephant—everyone’s right in part, but none have the full picture.

The core message: EEG signals are complicated. You can see the same signal feature arise from very different underlying physiological events.

The piece unpacks a recent EEG study that aims to identify biomarkers for a novel therapeutic using a physiologically-informed analysis pipeline.

Just published a commentary in Biological Psychiatry: Global Open Science titled: 🧠 Analyzing the elephant: The search for electroencephalography biomarkers 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.bp...
