Very excited for the next few days at #BIOMAG2026! I will present our labs most recent endeavors in inferring laminar activity on a methodology level, and also in Parkinson‘s Disease Patients. If this sounds interesting to you, you can find me at poster 203 and Symposium 15! Looking forward to it!

It was a tremendous honor to speak with the one and only Karl Friston – not about the Free Energy Principle, but for a change about the history of SPM. Did you know the very first version of SPM was programmed in Excel? That and much more here 👇👇 stimulatingbrains.org/79-karl-fris...

What are the systems in neuroscience that we really have something that we can call “explanation” at all relevant levels, other than reflexive feed-forward like circuits. Here are a few that I would argue are getting there. Obviously not complete explanations but genuinely satisfying.

Out now as a preprint! We investigated the effect of outcome-uncertainty on learning and endogenous pain modulation in a probabilistic gambling task. Results show that pain inhibition from winning pain relief increases as a function of certainty in what action lead to the relief of pain.

Just arrived at @meguki2025.bsky.social excited to present results on head movement reduction in people with Parkinson‘s using individual head casts. Additionally we can replicate prior findings on laminar source reconstruction! If you want to find out more, do not hesitate to find me at poster 45!

I’m sure you’ve always wondered how reliable Granger causality of source reconstructed MEG really is. Better yet, you surely wonder how to improve it. You’re in luck, I’ve just arrived at @meguki2025.bsky.social to discuss it. All jokes aside, meet me at poster 38 if you’re interested. 👋🏼🧠

Context-dependent modulations of subthalamo-cortical synchronization during rapid reversals of movement direction in Parkinson’s disease
Beta synchrony between motor cortex and the subthalamic nucleus is intensified when instructional cues within a continuous motor sequence become less predictable, calling for more cautious behavior.
