Last week, our incredible PhD @AlineMECDantas successfully defended her thesis, titled "A Gut Feeling: Noninvasive brain stimulation, gut microbiota and decision-making under risk". Congratulations Dr. Dantas! ๐#PhDone @SchuhmannTeresa @AlexanderSack72 @LisaBruggen & Peiran Jiao
Would you like to work with us? Are you interested in computational modelling and inter-area brain communication? A 3-year postdoc and a PhD position are available now, with our very own @TenOever_Sanne! More details below โฌ๏ธ
Looking for nice, enthusiastic academics for an ERC-funded project on inter-area brain communication during perception. I have a 3-year postdoc and a PhD position available. See link below for info Feel free to share #neuroscience #jobs #hiring sannetenoever.github.io/main/research/โฆ
It's here! Our new review paper in @BiologicalPsyc1 highlights the importance of brain state dependence of #TMS effects & what that implies about #NIBS in clinical practice. @AlexanderSack72 @SchuhmannTeresa @Brainclinics @L_Zwienenberg, Eva & Tara. biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-โฆ
Yesterday, our PhD student, now Dr. Mikellides, successfully defended his PhD thesis at @MaastrichtU and we couldn't be more proud of him! Congratulations Dr. Mikellides!

Yesterday was a *BIG* milestone for my PhD! We completed the 1st measurement of my #simultaneous #EEG-#TMS-#fMRI study. The online combination of all methods required a team of 6 people, 4.5 hours patience of 1 participant & 1.5 years of preparation. So proud! #phdlife ๐ง ๐งฒโก๏ธ
