Very happy to see this out! In this work I demonstrate the potential of OPMs for laminar MEG and investigate the impact of factors such as sensor counts, number of measurement axes, co-registration errors, misestimated forward models…
Already looking forward to Imaging Neuroscience’s 2025 collage!

🚀 New paper in iScience! We tested 50 participants to investigate phase-locked perceptual modulations after motor actions—and the results are surprising!
⚡ Different from previous studies, we found these modulations ONLY emerge during specific internal states:

I remember thinking 'This is cool!' when Siqi shared an earlier version of this work during my visit to the lab. Happy to see it out now!
We're happy to announce the release of a preprint presenting lagged Hilbert autocoherence for determining signal rhythmicity at different frequencies. Fantastic work by Siqi Zhang, @maciekszul.bsky.social, and some others who have not made the leap over here. 🧠📈 🧠💻
