Together with Teresa Berther, @martinasaltafossi.bsky.social, @eliobalestrieri.bsky.social, and @ualsbombe.bsky.social, we have developed a pipeline which uses IAAFT-based respiration time series surrogates to then adapt gold-standard cluster permutation testing for circular (phase-binned) data.

These two projects have been brewing for a long time, and we’re thrilled to finally share them.
Huge thanks to collaborators/friends for their work and patience: Clayton Hickey, Giorgio Coricelli, @eliobalestrieri.bsky.social and Damiano Grignolio.

What a great SciComm initiative by the Italian science community in Germany! 👏

Bringing kids closer to science in their native language 🥹🇮🇹 love that!
We did it! The very first Native Scientist workshop for Italian kids in Cologne was a success 🇮🇹 41 Italian-speaking children explored the wonders of science through hands-on experiments in their heritage language 🧑‍🔬

Aaaand the paper is out on Imaging Neuroscience! 🤩

Big thanks to all the co-authors and the reviewers for their great input 🫶

Did anyone use correlations for a temporal generalisation analysis? I have a hard time finding something, but it seems straight forward (and symmetric) for my problem at hand.

I want to do encoding, not decoding analyses.

Pointers greatly appreciated !

This new flow of people to BS is heartwarming...

An enlightening read!
Who needs more neural manifolds? In my opinion: everyone!

This was a fun article to write, thanks to @thetransmitter.bsky.social and @emilytransmitter.bsky.social for making it happen!

@mattperich.bsky.social clarifies some misconceptions about neural manifolds and argues that they present a conceptually appropriate level at which systems neuroscientists can study the brain.

The third #preprint in 3 months, what a sequence!
In this work first-authored by @janafehring.bsky.social, we probe new features characterizing cortical hierarchy and its changes through the #lifespan. Check it out! :D

Excited to share this preprint in which we find individual and robust neurophysiological markers of cortical
hierarchy and highlight the dynamic nature of the brain's organization throughout life :)

Excited to share the first preprint of my postdoc!
We explored a novel features space to describe M-EEG timeseries. These features are highly informative in differentiating brain states, even more than canonical features like power in predefined frequency bands! :D
