Check it out! So proud of the Lasso team. It's been fun to work with them on this. Autism discoveries raced ahead for a decade while therapeutic development lagged, too often excluding non-speaking and minimally verbal individuals. The ARIA IMPACT Network is built to fix that. Onward! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Proud to be part of this! SENAP maps the specific brain networks driving central neuropathic pain in each person and engages them directly. Grateful to David Darrow, the whole Herman Darrow Lab team, and the patients who volunteered when there was no roadmap. Excited for what's next! 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Very shortly NBDC users for #ABCD and #HBCD data can have officials sign off on a DUC for safe sandbox only. They won’t have to attest to their own systems having the security requirements which will help!

Hello all of you #ABCD and #HBCD data users! Did you know we recently deployed the NBDC Sandbox? Jupyter, R-Studio, or open your own linux environment. Compute in place, No Download. A 'SAFE' Cluster environment. Go check it out! nbdc.lassoinformatics.com/sandbox

super cool (& inspiring)! Finally read this and was wondering, for chronic stimulation (beyond initial 3-day electrode mappings), were all 4 electrode panels stimulated simultaneously? or were they isolated and that could vary with optimization? (didn't catch in paper, curious about PFC specificity)

Fascinating, and indeed perfect example of what precision biological psychiatry can achieve! Congrats. Btw small question: you mention MB-ME fMRI with 4 echoes, but you report 5 TEs?
