Resisting typical age-related memory decline. See our new paper on a large cohort of "Superagers" followed up yearly for 6y. These over-80s with memory of people 30y younger show fascinating brain structure, faster movers, strong mental health, active midlife and ... musical!

Thank you @ukinspain

If you have an engineering background and are interested in learning more about technological applications to the human brain, check out our Masters of Science Neurotechnology program neurotec.upm.es/en/home-englis… currently open to applications for the 2025 intake!

We now have a fully operational Optically-Pumped MEG system, thanks to generous funding from @AgEInves and closely working with @CercaMagnetics. A real pleasure to be visited by @EvaOrtegaPaino, Secretary General for Research at @cienciagob, on the 1st day we are operational

Today, we held our Executive Board meeting, bringing together members of our @PatternCog project to discuss ongoing work, recent advancements and the next steps as we approach the final months of our funded project. Exciting times ahead! 🚀

New paper from the lab, led by @ortegacruzd in collaboration with @banco_tx_CIEN. Pre-mortem MRI and comprehensive post-mortem histopathology in patients with amnestic dementia. Interesting MRI findings, and striking disease heterogeneity. Open Access link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Check out this new paper providing a promising solution for multi-view feature selection and opening up new possibilities for further research in multi-view datasets⤵️ doi.org/10.1016/j.asoc…

Our young researchers have entered the EP PerMed video competition🎬 Head over to the EP PerMed YouTube channel and give our @PatternCog video a thumbs up👍 to vote! Voting is open until 28 November! 👉youtu.be/GJvQg_A_AWc?si… @elahehmoradi @Sori_Moradi @ERANET_PerMed

At @SfNtweets I’ll also be presenting my main PhD project with @The_Strange_Lab ! If you want to discuss some really interesting iEEG results on how the medial temporal lobe processes spatial frequencies, drop by my poster U35 on October 9th 3-4pm 🧠

One week until our SFN nanosymposium on cutting-edge work using direct-brain recordings in humans to untangle complex aspects of human cognition! @Zjmay1 @uma_r_mohan @lks_kunz @HelfrichLab @The_Strange_Lab @nanrun2 @howdobrain @RhiaCowan @JoelIBerger @HughesNatashaC @SfNtweets

📰 "Un equipo de neurocientíficos estudia a personas mayores de 80 años con una memoria similar a la de alguien de 50: un fenotipo raro que puede ser clave para comprender el envejecimiento cerebral". 🔬 @The_Strange_Lab ✒️ @AfricaGelardo 🔗 @eldiarioes eldiario.es/sociedad/desen…

Optically-pumped MEG has landed in Madrid. Looking forward to working with @CercaMagnetics to get the system running at the @CTBUPM (and yes, the sky normally looks like this in Madrid)

What a lineup for those at #SFN24 interested in human intracranial electrophysiology. Dustin Fetterhoff from our lab will be presenting "Neuronal population representation of human emotional memory" Thank you to Salman and Jie for putting this together

Many thanks to @AfricaGelardo for writing this fantastic article on our superaging discoveries made in collaboration with @Fund_CIEN (in Spanish). Interview with PhD student @marta_ghuescar @La_UPM @CTBUPM @NEUROTEC_UPM eldiario.es/1_afe78c?utm_c…

🚀Excited to share a paper from our @PatternCog project partner @uniJena introducing the Computational Anatomy Toolbox (CAT) for the analysis of structural MRI data🧠 Congratulations @ChristianGaser @PTenigma and all authors👏 academic.oup.com/gigascience/ar…

⭐️ New beginnings. I have had a transformative time at @The_Strange_Lab. Thanks to it, I have come to @inselgruppe (Bern 🐻🇨🇭). I am excited to start working with @BogdanDraganski and his team to continue studying healthy memory ageing!

🗣️Our Postdoctoral researcher Pablo Bonilla Escribano from @Fund_CIEN is attending the IEEE #EMBC2024 Conference this week. Don't miss his poster “Agnostic, Multimodal Feature Selection in the Long-Term Prediction of Mild Cognitive Impairment” this Friday ⤵️

La semana que viene tendrá lugar un @CursosVeranoUCM en El Escorial organizado por los lideres de Spain Neurotec. 👉10 de julio, ponencia magistral de Bryan Strange @The_Strange_Lab @La_UPM cursosveranoucm.com/cursos/72307-2/

Thank you @SfNJournals for highlighting our work on Superager white matter
