Our paper on changes in periodic & aperiodic neural activity in Alzheimer's dementia is now published!
We find in AD a specifically periodic change, different from aperiodic changes in healthy aging!

🎓📜New paper with @ChrisSYBenwell & co on spectral changes in Alzheimer's disease!
We found that spectral parameterization shows the key changes in AD are periodic, differentiating AD from the aperiodic changes of healthy aging.
First authors: @MKopcanova & @LukeWTait

New paper with @ccbrainlab in @NeuroImage_EiC!
microstate: A MATLAB toolbox for brain microstate analysis in sensor and cortical EEG/MEG, doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage…
Highlights: Source-space microstates, microstate-connectivity, novel statistics, resting/evoked data, simulations
The toolbox comes with tutorial scripts which make use of freely-available open-access data, so you can exactly reproduce all figures/analyses from the paper. Tutorials include resting-state sensor EEG, group-level source MEG & microstate connectivity, simulations, ERFs.
Funded Computational Neuroscience PhD opportunity! 🧠
Interested in dynamical systems, whole-brain models, parameter estimation, clinical cohort and pharmacological data lots more...
Supervised by @mgfellow and I.

Our results suggest that cortical microstates are a powerful tool for studying anatomically interpretable brain states and dynamic functional connectivity. More work is in progress to further develop and validate the pipeline, so watch this space! 6/7
Finally, if you want to perform cortical microstate analysis (or use a wide range of novel statistical tools for sensor-space microstate analysis!), the pipeline is available in the microstate toolbox:
