Brain implant translates thoughts to speech in an instant | Nature, by Miryam Naddaf

A #brain-reading implant that translates neural signals into audible #speech has allowed a woman with paralysis to hear what she intends to say nearly instantly.

Heute, am 3. März, ist Welttag des Hörens! Doch wie funktioniert eigentlich das #Gehör?

Ein Team des Göttinger Exzellenzclusters „Multiscale Bioimaging“ (#MBExC), an dem auch unsere Uni beteiligt ist, hat dazu eine zentrale Struktur entdeckt. Forschende suchen diese Struktur schon seit über 40 Jahren. Wie die sogenannte „Feder im Ohr“ das #Hören steuert: uni-goettingen.de/de/3240.html

🚀 Some exciting news! Our team is taking part in Google Summer of Code, which is a remote, asynchronous, global opportunity.

This is a fantastic chance for someone to get paid to contribute to "movement" or our other open-source projects in neuroscience and animal behaviour.

If you know someone who might be interested, please share widely! 🌍

ok, so a thing I've noticed with these random 10 to 18 hour sleeping sessions is that reality feels wrong afterward.

Like, I think existing -- the conscious experience of feeling and reacting to sensations or sensory inputs from your body (and mind, which is somehow perceived as different for no reason 🙄) --
is a habit.

You have to be in the flow or familiar with how existing feels. Otherwise it's unusual or unfamiliar.

This feels tautological af, but whatever. Allistic people need sad music to know a scene is "supposed to be" sad, so maybe this does bear clarification.

Very difficult week with my progressive neurological illness, but delighted to end with some accordion practice. Mainly playing my own arrangements, including here Despacito, and also Speechless from Aladdin, and Don't Shut Me Down from ABBA. Extremely light headed, and there were fluffs, but happy. #accordion #music #squeezebox #Despacito #neuro

and we're back!! Year in review and I liked this one: "Hyper-brain hyper-frequency network topology dynamics when playing guitar in quartet" --It is an elegant approach to asking about similarities in neural signaling among individuals working together.

The authors collected EEG data from a quartet of guitarists, playing various pieces together. Working together could be modeled as a dynamic "hyper brain" of coupled signals in different frequencies.

We're just migrated from another instance, so here is our (re)introduction:

Neurofrontiers is a bilingual blog about interesting neuroscience topics that tries to be accessible to the broader public while still maintaining scientific accuracy. It's run by a team of two people: a computational neuroscientist, and a graphic designer. We think that being on social media allows us to stay up-to-date with the most recent discussions in science and hope to be able to connect with like-minded individuals.

Dr. Marie McNeely

Stem cell models derived from patients with Parkinson’s disease are valuable tools that are helping researchers around the world to better understand the underlying causes of neurodegeneration and to develop biomarkers and new therapies. In this episode, Dr. Birgitt Schüle discussed her work developing alpha-synuclein cell lines, challenges/opportunities in the field, and important considerations for open science.

New preprint out!

TMS is often used to map the motor-cortex representation of the hand muscles. But does the type of stimulation matter?

Mads J Madsen, Lasse Christiansen, Hartwig Siebner and team from @DRCMR used high-resolution TMS-MRI mapping to compare the cortical motor maps produced by single-pulse (SP-TMS) or paired-pulse TMS (PP-TMS).

doi.org/10.1101/2024.10.03.616

PP-TMS probed short-interval intracortical inhibiton (in short SICF) and inter-stimulus intervals were adjusted to match the individual first or second “SICF” peak. SP-TMS and PP-TMS produced spatially distinct yet overlapping spatial corticomotor maps, revealing that they target similar but distinct brain areas.

PP-TMS mapping resulted in a posterior shift of the motor map compared to SP-TMS, producing the strongest shift with PP-TMS at the first SICF peak. Interestingly, the longer the delay between TMS pulses for the first peak, the more the motor map moved posteriorly . This wasn’t true for the second peak.

Together, these findings offer new insights into the functional corticomotor representations within the motor hand region of the human cortex.
