Trust is a precious commodity, but it is essential in science, notably when people from different fields are collaborating. Neuroscientist Leo and mathematician Ramon are trying to understand brain function and long-term memory. Read the case study: www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/70955

New findings on sensorimotor synchronization in cerebellar ataxia! 🎶🧠 Big kudos to Lousin on wrapping up the first part of her postdoc. Grateful for the chance to contribute as senior author to a collaboration started long ago, but which is still dear to me. 🔗 shorturl.at/BjC4l

8/n - These results offer a window into how our brains support social interaction by integrating the other in one's own sensorimotor schema via frequency-specific dynamics. Looking forward to presenting this work at #JointActionMeeting2025 in my hometown (Turin, IT)!

Mattia Rosso @mattiarosso.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

7/n - This suggests a functional dissociation: Neural entrainment tracks a partner’s rhythm more generally Beta modulation underlies deeper self–other integration, supporting a shared body schema for action

Mattia Rosso @mattiarosso.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

6/n - But here’s the key result: only beta modulation was selectively enhanced in the 1P condition! That is, when the participant experienced their partner’s hand as their own.

Mattia Rosso @mattiarosso.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

4/n - What did we find? In visually coupled conditions (1P and 2P), we observed both: - Neural entrainment (low-frequency convergence across brains) - Beta modulation (~20 Hz signals tied to perceiving partner movements)

Mattia Rosso @mattiarosso.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

3/n - In our study, we used immersive virtual reality to create a body-swap illusion. Participants saw either their own or their partner’s hand from a 1P or 2P (natural) perspective while tapping rhythmically in pairs.

Mattia Rosso @mattiarosso.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

2/n - Previous studies show that adopting a first-person (1P) perspective of your partner, namely seeing from their point of view, improves coordination. But what does this mean for the brain? Can we measure the neural dynamics that support this integration?

000

Mattia Rosso @mattiarosso.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

1/n - Temporal coordination is crucial to everything from conversation to music-making — yet the brain mechanisms behind it remain surprisingly unclear. One key idea: we synchronize by integrating motor information from the other person into our own sensorimotor framework.

Another collaborative work between @musicinthebrain.bsky.social and IPEM (Ghent University) is finally out as a preprint! We studied how the brain supports joint action using #EEG #hyperscanning + body-swap illusions in #VR. Check it out 👉 shorturl.at/rMxbg Details in the thread below 🧵

4/ Provided the network separation, we also tracked cross-frequency coupling (CFC) between networks. During passive listening to the metronome, the phase of low-freq (2.4 Hz) auditory networks selectively modulates the gamma band amplitude in more distributed medial temporal networks.

Mattia Rosso @mattiarosso.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

3/n 🎧 Auditory stimulation reshapes the entire frequency-resolved network landscape: • EMERGENCE: Attunement to the 2.4 Hz stimulation • RE-ARRANGEMENT: Spatial shift of alpha from occipital to sensorimotor, spectral shift to high alpha activity • INVARIANCE: Beta networks remain unchanged

Mattia Rosso @mattiarosso.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

2/n 🧘‍♂️ During rest, FREQ-NESS reliably separates well-known resting state brain networks — the Default Mode Network, alpha-band parieto-occipital, and motor-beta sensorimotor topographies. Textbook configurations emerge directly from the data and based on frequency, without predefining regions.

Mattia Rosso @mattiarosso.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

1/n 🔍 At the core of FREQ-NESS is Generalized Eigendecomposition (GED) - a powerful linear decomposition technique that allows us to separate overlapping neural processes based on their dominant frequency, by contrasting narrowband vs broadband activity. #Neuroscience #FREQNESS
