New preprint out! We mapped somatosensory representations in healthy individuals using navigated TMS and fMRI. 👋🧠⚡️

We found:
1. Significant variability in S1 hotspot locations in both methods
2. Discrepancies between TMS & fMRI mapping locations
3. Larger variability in fMRI across subjects

In Eng: "NY Times of Finland" (Helsingin Sanomat) interviewed me about rTMS treatments for depression.

🧠 NEW PAPER: How do we capture excitability noninvasively in mood and emotion networks in the human brain? Here, we used real-time optimization to improve these measures!

Grateful to share that I’ve been awarded a 1(+2) year grant from @sigridjuselius.bsky.social! This means I get to start building my own team — can’t wait to get started! 🥳 🧠 ⚡
