Esther Florin Neuroscience Lab
@florin_neuro
Systems neuroscience lab interested in methods development for electrophysiological data, understanding spontaneous brain activity and clinical pathophysiology.
Yet another open PostDoc/PhD position in our group. Interested in Parkinson's disease, MEG and inctracranial recordings? See details below.

#GoodNews 2 (still more to come): We are part of the brain awareness week with interesting talks (in German and English) and lab tours! Come join us and learn about your brain and our research this Friday! @teambuergeruni @HHU_de @IL_hhu @PamdemiaCientif
Intrigued to discover more about how DBS reveals & therapeutically impacts on the dysfunctional circuits behind different brain disorders, from OCD to dystonia? 🪄🧠 So were we! Join us on this deep dive from core to cortex – now out @NatureNeuro: nature.com/articles/s4159… A 🧵
Excited to announce an open PostDoc/PhD position in our group - funded by the Volkswagen Foundation. Interested in Parkinson's disease, MEG, intracranial recordings. and connectivity? See details below.

Thanks to all co-authors in Berlin and Düsseldorf: @rlofredi , Til Sander, Alfons Schnitzler, Andrea Kühn & my great supervisor @florin_neuro 🧠
Thanks to all the co-authors who made this work possible. In London @FahimiMansoureh and @g0neill, in Duesseldorf @florin_neuro, Matthias Sure and Alfons Schnitzler and Gaetano Leogrande from Medtronic who is a great asset to the European DBS research community.
Last but not least @florin_neuro and colleagues recorded a real Parkinson's patient with Percept PC and subthalamic SenSight electrodes and we were able to see cortico-subthalamic coherent networks in the alpha and beta bands as previously described in the literature.
@Medtronic Percept PC is a new telemetric stimulator that can record and stream deep brain LFP. But can it be used in the MEG scanner? The answer is in our new preprint and it is affirmative (with some reservations)🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
How does deep brain stimulation work? @neumann_wj @Steiner_LA @lukamneuro explain in their new Update in @Brain1878 #DBS academic.oup.com/brain/advance-…
Just a brief reminder, call for this👇is still open, don't hesitate to get in touch if interested! 🧠
Postdoc position on an ERC-funded project available in my lab @HHU_de ! Topic: neuromodulation (ACh, GABA,...) of decision making & learning, cortical dynamics (M/EEG). Please check below for more info and for how to apply psychologie.hhu.de/fileadmin/reda… @bioDGPs_DGPA @ERC_Research
Congratulations to Abhinav Sharma @saltwaterTENSOR for completing his PhD this week! We’re so happy for you and excited to see what’s next!


The @ICNeuromodulate lab is hiring a medical doctor for @ERC_Research #StG on #reinforcement effects of #deepbrainstimulation in #Parkinson disease at @ChariteBerlin. Come discover how we support instead of disrupt brain circuit activity with #DBS, #ECoG & #MachineLearning.
Another great publication from the lab - spearheaded by @SpoonerRK!
Very excited to share our new publication with @florin_neuro @Retune_CRC @HHU_de out now in @Nature_NPJ Parkinson's disease using #MEG and quantitative movement profiles to index optimal and non-optimal #DBS contact settings in patients with PD! nature.com/articles/s4153…
Thanks to @SpoonerRK for presenting the lab‘s work at DGKN!
Great Talk by @SpoonerRK at @dgkn_news on DBS evoked potentials as measured with MEG.
In this #JNeurosci study, @SlaSamiee, @sylvain_baillet et al. @bic_mni used brain imaging to track how neural signals at multiple frequencies interact with one another to see how salient sounds are detected & processed by brain circuits. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…
Jung et al. report that involving simulated connectomes can improve the prediction performance of machine-learning methods in classifying parkinsonian patients against healthy subjects for appropriate data processing. @gssure @INM7_ISN @MedHHU bit.ly/3IvK2dG
So happy for Matthias Sure to finish his PhD! Congratulations and well derserved.

Congratulations @SpoonerRK for receiving this prestigious fellowship! We are very happy to continue the amazing work and are honored to host you😀
Incredibly proud and honored to receive the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation @AvHStiftung Research Fellowship for Postdocs to support my research stay @HHU_de with Profs. Esther Florin and Alfons Schnitzler. tinyurl.com/ycxmszxm🧵
Very happy for our lab member @bahnebahners receiving the Thiemann fellowship! Congratulations and have a great time in Boston.
🎉Very happy & honoured to be awarded with the Parkinson-Fellowship 2022 by the #Thiemann foundation and the @dgn_ev 🧠. Project aims at optimizing #DBS using multimodal #connectivity analysis with the one and only @andreashorn_ . Looking forward to an exciting time in Boston
Excited to announce multiple PhD and Postdoc opportunities for our group in Düsseldorf, Germany! Interested in methods development for electrophysiological data, understanding spontaneous neural activity and clinical pathophysiology? See details of our openings below:
