Congrats to my friend Simone Russo and all the team for this terrific study, published today on Nature Comms nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

inTRACE2025 has come to a close — but the conversations, ideas, and connections we’ve sparked here are just the beginning. To all the speakers, participants, institutions and friends who made these days so rich and inspiring: thank you. You’ve helped us tracing a path between research and clinical practice, between cities, countries, and disciplines, and between what we know and what we still want to discover about the human brain. 📌 We’re just getting started. Follow us here and intrace2025.com for: 🔹 photos and videos from the event 🔹 key takeaways and featured talks 🔹 updates on future initiatives flagged inTRACE Let’s keep in touch — and keep tracing. “To understand the brain, you need more than data — you need dialogue, shared insight, and the courage to think together” #inTRACE2025 #brainresearch #SEEG #neuroscience #epilepsy #clinicalresearch #thankyou

1/11 How does our brain's hierarchical organization impact its response to stimulation? We found striking differences between "high-order" networks (involved in complex cognition) vs "low-order" networks (handling sensory/motor functions) @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Ever wonder why some brain regions are more excitable? Using intracranial stim and recordings in humans, our team led by @Momi @saraparmi @StanfordBrain @andreapigorini @neurodidact @KellerStanfordU discovered a fascinating hierarchy in these neural responses 🧠⚡️

Join this terrific panel in beautiful Parma! Save the date: April 1-4, 2025 intrace2025.com/

InTrace workshop: The intracranial connections between clinics and neuroscience. Parma, Auditorium Credit Agricole, 1-4 April 2025 @LaStatale @CNRsocial_ @dibic intrace2025.com/

1/🧵 New (long) preprint: Biological naturalism and conscious artificial intelligence. In which I explore the prospects for, and pitfalls of, AI that is, or irresistibly appears to be, conscious. @sussexcentre .@CIFARnews osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/tz… #ExMachina

Had a great time in Tokyo @ASSC27tokyo, four dense days of intense scientific work but also a lot of fun with many new good friends

What are the differences in the propagation pattern between networks? Does it follow the ‘principal gradient’ hierarchy? Answer: #OHBM2024 - 3:45 PM, Grand Ballroom 103 @neurodidact @DrCoreyKeller @andreapigorini @saraparmi @CAMHnews @KellerStanfordU @OHBM @wake_sleep

Our latest review "An integrative, multiscale view on neural theories of consciousness" is now out on @NeuroCellPress. Congrats @andreapigorini and all authors! @LaStatale doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.202…

1/ IIT can and should be critiqued, but this letter, despite many admirable signatories (& colleagues/friends) is disappointing. The accusation of pseudoscience is serious & clickbaity & IMO the letter doesn't justify it psyarxiv.com/zsr78/

Finally out! Have a look at this comparison of ten different ESI methods by exploiting a high-density real EEG dataset for which the ground truth is known @andreapigorini @al_neuro @AvanziniPietro @SSarasso1 doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage…

7/12 Interestingly we replicated the results for 2 independent dataset as well as for both high and low voltage TEPs data @NigelRogasch @andreapigorini

Our latest "TMS-EEG and resting-state EEG applied to Altered States of Consciousness: Oscillations, Complexity, and Phenomenology" is now out (in press) on @iScience_CP. Congrats to @KatrinPreller and colleagues @UZH_en doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2023.…

Such a pleasure to present on invasive and noninvasive brain stimulation modalities with these rockstars! 🧠⚡ @saraparmi @ZelmannRina @andreapigorini at #BrainStimConf in Lisbon!!
