🚨 New preprint alert!
Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory.
Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory.

Born from a collaboration with @danlikesbrains.bsky.social ’s team, this project shows how your breathing shapes brain excitability across the entire wake–sleep cycle. Huge shoutout to everyone involved — go check it out! 💥

Curious about how your brain’s excitability aligns with your breath, even while asleep? Check out our new preprint!!

Respiratory coordination of excitability states across the human wake-sleep cycle
While the respiratory rhythm is increasingly recognized as a key modulator of oscillatory brain activity across the wake-sleep cycle in humans, very little is known about its influence on aperiodic br...

Major update to our preprint. Led
by @xuanyuwang.bsky.social, we show that the mesoscopic functional organization of the primate PFC reflects individual cognitive strategies and mnemonic abilities. 🧠 doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Functional organization of the primate prefrontal cortex reflects individual mnemonic strategies
Modular organization, the division of the cerebral cortex into functionally distinct subregions, is well established in the primate sensorimotor cortex, but debated in the cognitive association cortex...
