Postdoctoral Research Fellow @ BWH Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics | I use causal methods and psychological theory to make better TMS anxiety protocols.
What’s the optimal TMS target for smoking addiction? @SK__PhD@Brain_Circuits and @tweetnicolepete@UCLA found that connectivity of 243 TMS sites to a lesion-based addiction remission circuit led to better response. Out now in @APAPubJournals

Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.
To allow a big timezone difference, our virtual speaker series next week will be on Wed October 15 at 8am EST starring @rubykong92 . The title will be: "Individual-specific brain parcellations for brain stimulation." DM me your email if not already on our list for the Zoom link.
Join our 15th event on September 23! We're thrilled to welcome Dr. @rubykong92 from National University of Singapore to introduce their work on "Individual-specific Brain Parcellations for Clinical Applications". Scan the QR code to participate for free!

"Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do."
As someone searching for purpose, Feynman's words stopped me in my tracks. Maybe the purpose isn't some distant title, it's in the relentless curiosity to understand how the brain and our treatments actually work
I still get chills
Meet Mike
*30 years severe depression
*first hospitalized @ 13y
*20 meds
*3 rounds of ECT
*2 near-fatal suicide attempts
Mike felt joy for the first time in decades after we turned on his new brain pacemaker or PACE

We present the first population-specific brain charts for China, developed through the Chinese Lifespan Brain Mapping Consortium (Phase I) using high-quality MRI data from 43,037 participants (aged 0-100 years,384 sites). (1/6)
If your actions do not reflect the things that matter most to you, how might you bring those things closer into connection? What would you be willing to feel to come back into alignment?
Inspiring days at Lviv hospital with great talks by Ilan Harpaz-Rotem and @NoahSPhilipMD along with successful completion of the first TMS hands-on training day.
