We've been saying for a while now that beta bursts might be functionally heterogeneous. Check out @quentinmoreau.bsky.social's paper where we show that different types of bursts have different relationships to behavior in a sensorimotor adaptation task 👇👇👇

Our group has been looking at beta bursts for the last 5 years, but we do it a little differently than most - we group into types them based on their waveforms. In this open access article we lay out why and what we think this might mean journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #neuroskyence

Beta band is not an oscillation. It's best seen as a set of diverse events, indexed by waveform shape.

🚨🚨🚨PREPRINT ALERT🚨🚨🚨 Neural dynamics across cortical layers are key to brain computations - but non-invasively, we’ve been limited to rough "deep vs. superficial" distinctions. What if we told you that it is possible to achieve full (TRUE!) laminar (I, II, III, IV, V, VI) precision with MEG!
Overview of the simulation strategy and analysis. a) Pial and white matter boundaries
surfaces are extracted from anatomical MRI volumes. b) Intermediate equidistant surfaces are
generated between the pial and white matter surfaces (labeled as superficial (S) and deep (D)
respectively). c) Surfaces are downsampled together, maintaining vertex correspondence across
layers. Dipole orientations are constrained using vectors linking corresponding vertices (link vectors).
d) The thickness of cortical laminae varies across the cortical depth (70–72), which is evenly sampled
by the equidistant source surface layers. e) Each colored line represents the model evidence (relative
to the worst model, ΔF) over source layer models, for a signal simulated at a particular layer (the
simulated layer is indicated by the line color). The source layer model with the maximal ΔF is
indicated by “˄”. f) Result matrix summarizing ΔF across simulated source locations, with peak
relative model evidence marked with “˄”. g) Error is calculated from the result matrix as the absolute
distance in mm or layers from the simulated source (*) to the peak ΔF (˄). h) Bias is calculated as the
relative position of a peak ΔF(˄) to a simulated source (*) in layers or mm.
