Excited to share our latest work! It’s been a great experience working on this (including building a whole new lab!) 😊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🆕🐍👨‍💻: Just as a quick heads up - we realized an updated version of `neurodsp`, our Python package for neural times series analyses & simulations. Has fixes, updates, and extensions (see release notes). Let us know if you find any quirks / issues! github.com/neurodsp-too...

"exhaust fumes" made it into the official abstract! hence completing the journey from an epiphenomenal shitpost blog to a full-blown review paper. all thanks to this cast of co-authors (esp. Sander), our TICS editor Lindsey Drayton, and two very engaged reviewers (@danielemarinazzo.bsky.social)

I just preprinted a little perspective piece / mini review on the history of the study of aperiodic neural activity - arguing there is more out there in literature than one might expect! 📜 A historical overview of the study of aperiodic neural activity: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Hello again Bluesky - very glad to see people moving over here! If anyone works on / wants to connect on work related to analyzing / interpreting neuro-ephys signals - specparam / aperiodic / oscillation stuff, etc - drop a comment or msg and I'll follow back!

📜 🎉 We have a new preprint: an overview & comparison of measures of 'aperiodic' neural activity! This project explores different ideas & many methods used to study non-oscillatory features of intra- & extra-cranial electrophysiological recordings! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

You used to really be able to make up data about unicorn metabolism and get a science paper out of it eh. We've really lost our way. www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Reading this old EEG paper, and we really don't design behavioral tasks like we used to, huh...

📜🎉 We have a new preprint! The fantastic Mohamed Ameen led this work on aperiodic neural activity during sleep - including time-resolved analyses and examining the ‘aperiodic knee’ across sleep stages - featuring me as (first time!) supervising author! Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our paper on periodic & aperiodic neural activity in Alzheimer's dementia is now published! We find in AD a specifically periodic change, different from aperiodic changes in healthy aging! w @mkopcanova.bsky.social, Luke Tait, @chrisbenwell.bsky.social & co! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A fun find in an old paper - in 1956, Mary Brazier noting that of course EEG contains both periodic and aperiodic activity, and relating it to the auto-correlation based analyses they were developing at the time:

We’re excited about our first paper looking at speech encoding in single neurons across the depth of human cortex. Out today in @nature! www.nature.com/articles/s41... [1/6]

I'm going to be in Princeton this coming Tuesday, and will probably have some spare time. I've never been - anyone have any suggestions of what to check out, and/or anyone around and want to say hello (I'm happy to chat science and/or unions if anyone wants)!

`spiketools` - our new open-source Python module for analyzing single-neuron activity has a new release plus a new paper describing the project in JOSS! Paper Link: joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21... Documentation: spiketools.github.io Code Link: github.com/spiketools/s...

I have a few projects this SfN on two main themes: For human single-unit work, see our posters Sunday afternoon, or my poster on Monday morning! For spectral parameterization work, I'll be at our sleep poster on Monday afternoon! + collaborator projects! If anything's of interest, come say hi!
