Excited to share our work - new fundamental understanding of direct electrical information flow in multinuclear human thalamocortical circuits, working towards biologically inspired restoration strategies in complex brain disorders @JosefParvizi nature.com/articles/s4159…
Thrilled to announce I'll be starting my own neuro-theory lab, as an Assistant Professor at @YaleNeuro @WuTsaiYale this Fall! My group will study offline learning in the sleeping brain: how neural activity self-organizes during sleep and the computations it performs. 🧵
🚀Excited to share our preprint is now in #JNeurosci @SfNJournals! We show that #OFC high-gamma isn't just aggregated spiking (or noise)—it reflects #value and #decision components that spikes alone don’t capture! 🔗tinyurl.com/hgspikes With @McGintyNeuro @shira_lupkin
Excited to share my first lead-author study on #biorxiv! A quick🧵: We find that OFC LFPs have surprising value- & decision-coding properties that aren't found in spikes. This work is of interest to both neuroscientists studying decision behavior and engineers developing #BMIs 1/

I have ANOTHER postdoc position open here: jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/250574 Please get in touch if you are interested in intracranial research into human cognition.
🚨🚨 I'm recruiting a postdoc to come work with me at Rutgers! If you are interested in LFP and single-neuron data in humans, please reach out. Rutgers is a wonderful environment for human neuroscience research! Position: jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/240269 Lab: sites.rutgers.edu/qasim-lab/
📢A lab’s 1st baby-step is always memorable! First #iEEG evidence that #DLPFC #TMS🧲 evokes responses in #sgACC now out @brainstimj: bit.ly/4mX07ei Huge thanks to @IowaNeurosurg @boeslab @NickTrapp13 @xianqing_liu @DrCoreyKeller @UIowaPeds @UIowaNeuro @NIMHgov 💛🖤❤️
We implant soft electronics into the brain—not via surgery, but by letting the brain grow around them. Great work lead by Dr. Hao Sheng with Drs. Ren Liu, Zuwan Lin, and Qiang Li
🎉 Excited to share that my PhD work is now published in Nature! We used embryonic development to implant ultrasoft electronics into the brain—enabling non-invasive, stable, high-res neural recording throughout development. 📄 nature.com/articles/s4158… (Fig. 1-4 posted here)
🧠 New preprint! We used human intracranial EEG + pharmacology to test a core question in memory research: is hippocampal theta required for retrieval? Turns out it’s not—and may instead reflect a reinstated encoding mode. 👇 Thread biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Our paper was just published in Nature Communications. Acute pain leaves reliable neural and facial signatures that can be tracked in natural contexts, thus promising objective, real-time pain monitoring. With @StanfordNsurg @DrCoreyKeller, @VivekBuchMD @josef_parvizi…
