Out now as a preprint!
We investigated the effect of outcome-uncertainty on learning and endogenous pain modulation in a probabilistic gambling task.
Results show that pain inhibition from winning pain relief increases as a function of certainty in what action lead to the relief of pain.

Hurrah!
New paper out doi.org/10.1093/brai...!
We show that sensorimotor network dynamics are altered in Parkinson’s disease and highlight the importance of looking at motor cortical activity within the broader brain network context to better understand pathophysiological changes underlying PD.

Just arrived at @meguki2025.bsky.social excited to present results on head movement reduction in people with Parkinson‘s using individual head casts. Additionally we can replicate prior findings on laminar source reconstruction! If you want to find out more, do not hesitate to find me at poster 45!

I’m sure you’ve always wondered how reliable Granger causality of source reconstructed MEG really is. Better yet, you surely wonder how to improve it. You’re in luck, I’ve just arrived at @meguki2025.bsky.social to discuss it. All jokes aside, meet me at poster 38 if you’re interested. 👋🏼🧠
