Tom Donoghue

Briefly dropping back in here to share that I've accepted a new job as Lecturer of Cognitive Neuroscience (equivalent to assistant prof) at the University of Manchester in the UK! More info on my blog (link next tweet). Find me on bluesky (same name) for more! :)

Twitter informed me today is my 15 year anniversary on this site (!?), and perhaps that's about enough... I'll leave the account up & might still share things here - but mainly I'll be in bluer skies (same handle). Contact & info also on my website: tomdonoghue.github.io

Tomorrow (Wed) morning at #SfN24 the Jacobs lab has a group of posters in V15-V19 covering oscillations, traveling waves, and human single-units! @ V15 - V16: human single-unit studies of navigation & memory that I help with presented by wonderful grad students Sandra & Claire:

🧠 I’m excited to share our latest preprint with @emilyps14 and undergraduate S. Oyama! We introduce a stochastic forward modeling framework to improve the interpretation of neural power spectral effects—like spectral slope—in biophysical terms. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Back in 2022, @roxana_zeraati & I organized a Cosyne workshop on neural timescales, and after working on it for the last 2 years together, it's now a review paper! arxiv.org/abs/2409.02684 w/ @SelfOrgAnna & @jakhmack (2nd blogpost to turn into a real review paper this year lol)

Does large-scale neural MEG activity correlate with micro-scale circuit properties? Our new work shows that aperiodic background activity indexes neural hyperexcitability in patients suffering from generalized epilepsy in @SfNJournals: eneuro.org/content/11/9/E… (1/4)

Functional connectivity: oscillatory coupling or aperiodic activity? This is the question we addressed in this brand-new preprint, fresh off the press today! 📜 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
