🚨New Publication!🚨 When doing research with transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), it is important to consider one major potential confound: retinal phosphenes. They may affect your data significantly, which is what we discuss here!

🚨 New preprint: Invisible neural frequency tagging (RIFT) for the underfunded researcher:
👉 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

RIFT uses high-frequency flicker to probe attention in M/EEG with minimal stimulus visibility and little distraction. Until now, it required a costly high-speed projector.
Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) with a consumer monitor: A proof-of-concept
Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) enables neural frequency tagging at rates above the flicker fusion threshold, eliciting steady-state responses to flicker that is almost imperceptible. While R...

🚨 New paper: Motor cortex excitability is shaped by traveling alpha & beta waves 🧠🌊

Using EEG-triggered TMS & ECoG in humans + a non-human primate, we show excitability depends on phase and direction of neural rhythms.

Research funders at all levels must get past this fascination with unicorns and superstars. Invest broadly, and in enabling research infrastructures.
Now, it's time to up the ante.

We are committed to enshrining scientific freedom in EU law, creating a 7-year ‘super grant’ to attract top researchers, and expanding support for the most promising scientists.

🚨New Publication🚨 Do you work with e-field modeling in NIBS? Do you not always want to use Ernie, but you have no access to MRIs?

We share 100 fully preprocessed head models for e-field simulations based on the HCP.
