🧠New paper in @NatMentHealth !
In Parkinson's Disease, we show that patients at risk of cognitive decline have a distinct brain fingerprint, and that patient-specific networks associate with clinical outcomes and neurochemical substrate.

🧠New paper out!
We show how motor cortex signals relate to free will, developing a new voluntary action paradigm and a brain-machine interface. A step closer to understanding how thoughts become actions — and making brain tech feel like body.

đź‘Ą Why do hallucinations in Parkinson's often feature people or animals?
Our new study finds patients over-perceiving people (but not control stimuli). We link this social bias to loneliness and anthropomorphism.

🧠New study led by Tommaso Bertoni, published in @NatureComms, shows that pre-movement alpha oscillations shape the sense of agency by gating brain connectivity—using BMI and EEG.

🔥Our paper combining tTIS and VR during fMRI just made the cover of @ScienceAdvances
In collab. with @OlafBlankeLab, we show modulation of spatial navigation in healthy humans associated to changes in hippocampal activity and grid-cell like activity.

Co-existence of two selves?
Fitting subjects with autonomous drones we show that two separate spaces of selfhood exist simultaneously at two distinct locations.

Thrilled to see this work in @CommsBio!
fMRI connectomes enable subject identification đź‘Ą even in #Alzheimers
Brain #fingerprints remain unique but reconfigure as disease progresses, offering exciting potential to capture clinical heterogeneity!

This study describes a premotor-hippocampal coupling in episodic memory, revealing how bodily sensory context and in particular, sense of agency of the observer at encoding is neurally reinstated during memory retrieval.

fMRI-neurofeedback targeting a hallucination-related whole-brain network allows individuals to control its temporal properties & modify proneness to hallucination induction, showing promise for future therapies.
