auditory tau-rhythm with a cool waveform, oscillating at 10 Hz, recorded with intracranial electrodes. 🧠〰️🙂
8 snippets showing 5 seconds of intracranial oscillatory brain activity from an electrodes located in the temporal cortex. brain plot showing the location of the electrode + surrounding electrodes.

New study led by @quentinmoreau.bsky.social & @vchamberland.bsky.social and @ppsp-team.bsky.social 👏 We show how brain stim can shape social inference in human–machine interaction 🧠🤖⚡ New causal evidence linking rTPJ to Theory-of-Mind & Self–Other distinction, & path towards social #neuromodulation!

6/ Grateful to all participants and to the dedicated @ppsp-team.bsky.social.
Special thanks to @introspection.bsky.social for his guidance.
Proud to share first authorship with @quentinmoreau.bsky.social and collaborate with Lisane Moses and Gabriela Milanova.

5/ Results:
❌ No effect of rTPJ stimulation on motor coordination (Experiment 1 and 2).
✅ Repeated HD-tRNS sharpened detection of competitive intent and reduced humanness attribution during competitive interactions (Experiment 1 only).

4/ Two complementary experiments:
Exp1 (n=39): HD-tRNS⚡ or sham 🚫 randomized blocks
Exp2 (n=40): HD-tRNS⚡ and sham 🚫 randomized trials
During trials, participants synchronized finger movements with a covert virtual partner, then rated perceived cooperativeness & humanness.

3/ We applied high-definition transcranial random noise stimulation (HD-tRNS) over the right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ) of participants interacting with the virtual partner of the HDC, aiming to probe the rTPJ’s causal role in real-time social interaction.

2/ Our work directly builds on Dumas et al. (2020), who combined high-density EEG with the Human Dynamic Clamp (HDC) paradigm to reveal the rTPJ as a key cortical hub for integrating self–other representations.

1/ TL;DR:
High-definition transcranial random noise stimulation (⚡) over the right temporoparietal junction (🧠) sharpened detection of competitive intent during interaction with a covert virtual partner (🤖)—without affecting motor coordination.

It's been a while since our last laminar MEG paper, but we're back! This time we push beyond deep versus superficial distinctions and go whole hog. Check it out- lots more exciting stuff to come! 🧠📈

🚨🚨🚨PREPRINT ALERT🚨🚨🚨
Neural dynamics across cortical layers are key to brain computations - but non-invasively, we’ve been limited to rough "deep vs. superficial" distinctions. What if we told you that it is possible to achieve full (TRUE!) laminar (I, II, III, IV, V, VI) precision with MEG!
Overview of the simulation strategy and analysis. a) Pial and white matter boundaries surfaces are extracted from anatomical MRI volumes. b) Intermediate equidistant surfaces are generated between the pial and white matter surfaces (labeled as superficial (S) and deep (D) respectively). c) Surfaces are downsampled together, maintaining vertex correspondence across layers. Dipole orientations are constrained using vectors linking corresponding vertices (link vectors). d) The thickness of cortical laminae varies across the cortical depth (70–72), which is evenly sampled by the equidistant source surface layers. e) Each colored line represents the model evidence (relative to the worst model, ΔF) over source layer models, for a signal simulated at a particular layer (the simulated layer is indicated by the line color). The source layer model with the maximal ΔF is indicated by “˄”. f) Result matrix summarizing ΔF across simulated source locations, with peak relative model evidence marked with “˄”. g) Error is calculated from the result matrix as the absolute distance in mm or layers from the simulated source (*) to the peak ΔF (˄). h) Bias is calculated as the relative position of a peak ΔF(˄) to a simulated source (*) in layers or mm.

It was an honor to be awarded this cool medal from @cnrs.fr @cnrs-rhoneauvergne.bsky.social. Sorry my French was only good enough to say "le mieux c'est que je vous montre" with a thick American accent! I was hoping to get dubbed, but they went with French subtitles
