Congrats Ivan! Second lab alumni who is starting their own independent position this year!
Excited to share that I will start as an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behav Sciences at Northwestern University this fall! My lab will do closed-loop brain stimulation and imaging. I look forward to doing cool science together with brilliant colleagues @NUFeinbergMed.

4/n These de-entrainment and re-entrainment effects are frequency-specific. Furthermore, phase-locking depends also on the natural firing rate of the neurons, with higher firing rates resulting in higher phase-locking values.

CSE researchers showed that non-invasive brain stimulation can change a specific brain mechanism that is directly related to human behavior. This could lead to new therapies for brain disorders. Read more at z.umn.edu/BrainStimulation @Opitz_Lab @UMNBME @UMNResearch @UMNews @NIH

Check out our new paper from the lab!
Check out our new publication in @natcomms w/ @Opitz_Lab & @_janzimmermann_ where we show that neural phase precession can be induced by transcranial alternating current stimulation. #tACS #neuroscience #brainstimulation #science doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-4…

Our findings hopefully provide insights to TMS-evoked potential research in human using non-invasive #EEG recordings, as well as clinical research using EEG-guided #TMStherapy. 5/5
