I'm not seeing of them up yet. Ours was just approved so they might be delayed; even it is not showing on careers.umich.edu yet. Ling should have their's up here at some point lsa.umich.edu/linguistics/...

Tissue samples were from healthy cortex (e.g., insular tumor resection), allowing transcriptionally defined neuronal subclasses, including numbers of glutamatergic + GABAergic neurons. This link better enables aperiodic (1/f) slope from EEG/ECoG to be used as a surrogate for cortical excitability.

No other tools currently exist specifically for intraOp ECoG registration. This was a multi-year collaboration with the amazing lab of Shawn Hervey-Jumper and included @senaoten.bsky.social, @sanjeevherr.bsky.social, Vardhaan Ambati, @ysibih.bsky.social, Katie Lu, and Jasleen Kaur.

Localizing ECoG electrodes from photos alone is challenging (particularly with small craniotomies) and novice undergrads/medical students showed high variability (mean error = 16mm, ICC = .40), compared to experts with neuroanatomy training (mean error = 4mm, ICC = .93).

ExtraOp ECoG/sEEG localization require a postOp MRI or CT that are unavailable in intraOp contexts. As an alternative, we used preOp MRI imaging, vascular reconstructions, and intraOp photos to place grids along cortical reconstructions, in conforming electrodes to the brain.

Fourier Wave Explorer lets you create a waveform from 5 sine waves that vary in frequency and amplitude, then shows the individual and composite waveforms, along with the PSD.

Fourier Wave Creator lets you either select example waveforms (e.g., square wave, 10hz + 3hz sine wave) or draw your own waveform, then shows the sine waves needed to reconstruct that complex waveform, along with the PSD. You can suppress frequencies to show the effects on reconstruction accuracy.

And the funding announcement for diversity supplements now has been updated to expire today. Supplements are so important to the careers of junior scientists. This is crushing for post docs and early career faculty
