🚨 Hierarchical Flows of Human Cortical Activity.
"Cortical flow" is hierarchically organized: slower activity is more upstream, faster beta is more downstream. This asymmetry is emphasized with age.

🚨new lab preprint; brain fingerprinting entirely revisited:
Can we differentiate individuals from just seconds of neurophysiological recordings with machine learning, without resorting to black-box approaches?

In this work, Maxence Lapatrie says 'yes'.
