OH MY FUCKING GOD. YOUR ENTIRE BUSINESS RUNS ON MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF UNPAID LABOUR YOU HYPOCRITICAL SHITGIBBONS.
It can be hard to say no to service requests in academia.
We sought advice on how to ensure researchers don’t get stuck doing unpaid labour

The 6th #BrainStimConf is officially underway! Mark George and Harold Sackeim kicked things off with opening remarks, followed by insightful plenary talks from @marombikson and @cjstagg. Exciting to see papers from both of my PIs—including my own—among the top downloads of 2024! 🔥 @brainstimj @RobertC21093233

[Motor Cortex] Stanley Chen et al.: "Co-delivery of transcranial focused ultrasound (TUS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can elicit inhibitory after-effect in subjects who showed online inhibition, suggesting that TUS and TMS may interact with each other to produce plasticity effects."

It was a pleasure to participate in the Canadian Focused Ultrasound Meeting and present our brand new data on the selective manipulation of attention & cognitive control using transcranial ultrasound stimulation of deep brain areas in humans. Thanks @JFNankoo for the invitation!

The 1st Canadian Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation meeting was a success, with participants from across Canada including Ontario, Alberta, BC, and Quebec. Tomorrow, we continue with the international #FUN24 congress @MaRSDD in Toronto! fun24.ca @JFNankoo @RobertC21093233 @HamidRamezanpou

Day two of #FUN24 kicked off with an outstanding presentation by Emilie Franceschini from Aix-Marseille University @univAMU_Europe @LMA_UMR7031. She discussed how some of the dorsal root ganglion neurons are genetically more responsive to focused ultrasound stimulation and the critical role of deformation in FUS response. The session was moderated by Miriam Klein-Flugge @MKFlugge.

"A random half of panelists were shown a CV and only a one-paragraph summary of the proposed research, while the other half were shown a CV and a full proposal. We find that withholding proposal texts from panelists did not detectibly impact rankings."

Low intensity transcranial focus ultrasound can induce plasticity in the motor cortex of patients with Parkinson’s! The effects are related with the use of dopaminergic medication. Happy to share our results! @movedisorder @MDJ_Journal @RobertC21093233

Our study on ultrasound induced cortical plasticity in Parkinson's Disease is now published in Movement Disorders. Nice work by Talyta Grippe and other in the lab.

From someone who has studied this field for over 2 decades, I can comfortably say that virtually everything said here is inaccurate. It is incredibly disturbing to me that someone claiming to be a scientist can talk with such authority on something they clearly know nothing about
