This is exciting not only because it gives us an understanding of how this EEG model works under natural emotional processing. It also demonstrates how we can leverage computational modelling and fMRI to link scalable electrophysiology to clinically relevant brain networks. #TranslationalPsychiatry

Taken together, the alignment between large-scale network activity, functionally-specific amygdala involvement, and behavioral relevance suggests that the Amyg-EFP captures how strongly emotional events are experienced as salient by a coordinated brain system.

The ability of the biomarker to tap into a functional system is further reflected in its association with subjective emotional experience. Specifically, the Amyg-EFP amplitude correlated with individual ratings of emotional reactivity during movie viewing outside the scanner.

Within the amygdala itself, the strongest associations were observed in subregions that are functionally connected with the salience network, indicating functional specificity.

Using concurrent #EEG and #fMRI during naturalistic emotional stimulation, we found that the Amyg-EFP goes beyond localized amygdala activity. During movie viewing, Amyg-EFP signal fluctuations covaried with salience network fMRI activation.

Excited to share our new #MolecularPsychiatry paper (on #NaturePortfolio), which extends our work on the Amyg-EFP, the fMRI-informed EEG #biomarker of the amygdala used in #PrismForPTSD to train emotional regulation.

Interest in brain-body coupling is rising. Current methods typically focus on a single brain-body axis, like heart-brain, in isolation. @danlikesbrains.bsky.social, @jgross.bsky.social, and I argue that the brain and body exhibit complex, multi-scale dynamics. Read more: osf.io/preprints/ps...

What Musk's Neuralink will actually do on hype and science

Elon Musk says Neuralink will merge human brains with artificial intelligence. How realistic are these ideas?

Is this our future, or are Musk’s ideas just fantastical sci-fi imaginations?

This AI rat fiasco has generated some of the best laughs of the year for me. It was bound to happen, some AI image slipping through peer review, but this particular one is just more than anyone could hope for.
