The latest Stroke journal has a meta-analysis that boasts an amazing conclusion. Tripled freedom-from-disability! What is this miracle therapy? Is noninvasive brain stimulation for stroke rehab finally for real? 🧵

Graphic titled "ENTF Therapy Triples Freedom-From-Disability After Stroke." Study cohort: n=124 patients (65 ENTF, 59 sham), 4-21 days post-ischemic stroke. Diagram of the ENTF device, a helmet-like coil frame around a head. Bar chart of mRS distribution (baseline to day 90, pooled cohort) showing four groups: Baseline Active, D90 Active, D90 Sham, and Baseline Sham, each split into mRS0-mRS4 categories. The D90 Active group shows much larger green/light-green (low disability) segments than D90 Sham. Caption: intervention was 40-45 ENTF neuromodulation sessions delivered concurrently with rehabilitation therapy; outcome at 90 days showed about 3x higher recovery, NNT = 4.6.

AI in neurology has a translation problem: can we move from cool algorithms to better care? Teo et al describe in a new Perspective why AI has reached an inflection point in neurology, but despite impressive research and numerous FDA authorized algorithms, real-world clinical impact remains limited

I had an infuriating insurance denial for an extremely important medication. I had many pieces of evidence about why their clinical criteria were unscientific and out of date. It took me thirty seconds to make a terrifying document out of that documentation. We won our appeal.

This is why you shouldn’t use the term side effect. If it’s a positive side effect, it’s a benefit. It’s a negative side effect, it’s an adverse effect. “Side” just means anything that’s not the primary intended effect.

There are 3 metaphors floating around to describe negative relationship dynamics with AI. - Cyranoid (from the classic play Cyrano de Bergerac) - Cordyceps (a genus of parasitic fungi) - The Borg (Star Trek baddie) So of course I used AI to make an infographic.

My new @thetransmitter.bsky.social piece. Does Claude AI have emotions? *No*. Does Claude have nontrivial emotion-equivalents? *Yes*. Like your "memory" vs your laptop's; similar but not the same. Here, I unpack why that's interesting. www.thetransmitter.org/emotion/what...

What can AI teach us about ‘emotions’?

Exploring why Anthropic’s AI, Claude, displays something like emotion could ultimately help us better understand the function that emotions serve in humans.

Cygnus X-1 was the first black hole ever discovered. I commissioned what I think is the first actually to-scale artistic depiction of it. This matters because Cygnus X-1 is wildly interesting once you understand what you’re actually looking at. 🧵

A labeled space illustration of the Cygnus X-1 system. On the left, a huge glowing blue supergiant star fills most of the frame, with only part of its curved edge visible. On the right, the black hole companion is shown at the correct scale as an almost invisible point, highlighted by a magnified inset circle labeled “Accretion disc diameter ~15000 km.” The inset shows the tiny bright accretion disk around the black hole. White measurement lines label the star’s radius as 0.1 astronomical units and the distance from the star’s surface toward the black hole as 15 million km, also marked as 0.1 AU. The caption “Cygnus X-1” appears at the bottom. Commissioned artwork.
