It was an honor to be on the Stimulating Brains podcast with @andreashorn_ to share both my career journey and the journey of @BSCDBS @bostonsci in Neuromodulation and Deep Brain Stimulation. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years with an incredible company, team and colleagues.

A unique breakthrough in technology has allowed patients like Mandy Dostie relief from life-long pain. Read how Dr. Jonathan Lau, a Neurosurgeon at LHSC, was able to perform this Canadian first and help patients like Mandy: lhsc.on.ca/news/you-saved…
Such fun to talk with @HarithAkram about connectomic DBS, brewing beer, building a supercomputer, how he became the most British person I know, brain lesions, averaging the moon numerous times & why photography ~= neuroimaging, sailing and mentorship: stimulatingbrains.org/56-harith-akra…
So proud of @alaa_t_ for representing the lab and @afids_project team at #OHBM2024 in South Korea🇰🇷! 🧠🎯 Photo credit: @jasonkai & VioletLiu.

Excited to be giving a talk on @afids_project as part of #OHBM2024's #Neuroinformatics session (6/25 @ 12PM🇰🇷; GB 103) Come 👀 how we're: ➡️pooling 20K+ community curated 🧠 landmarks to 📏 registration accuracy 🎯 and for #QC ➡️creating resources/apps to simplify this process
We had a fabulous time talking to @AmazaReitmeier, Vice President & General Manager of Brain Modulation at @Medtronic about the role of industry for success of DBS, making a difference at scale, history & brain sensing! Tune in here 👇👇 stimulatingbrains.org/52-amaza-reitm…
Super excited that our dysfunctome paper is finally out at @NatureNeuro! Certainly by far the most important work I have been involved in so far. Huge congratulations and kudos to @b_hollunder and @NingfeiL for seeing this through. Fantastic tweetorial by Barbara below 👇👇

Check out our latest #preprint investigating the millimetric impact of localization & registration accuracy on DBS electrode position in stereotactic space.🎯 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… Powered by: @afids_project @leaddbs #fMRIprep @3DSlicerApp @BIDSstandard [1/9]
It was great joy to talk w/ @ndosenbach about the early rs-fMRI days w/ @foxmdphd et al. @WUSTL, how @russpoldrack’s #myconnectome led to the @club_scan, why you would choose to wear a pink cast for weeks, and how it feels to revise Penfield’s homunculus. stimulatingbrains.org/39-nico-dosenb…
I was very inspired by the courageous and stimulating story of Jon Nelson, his bravery to speak openly about it and the *incredible* success of DBS for depression (in individual cases and in the hands of @HelenMaybergMD & team at Mt. Sinai)! 👇👇👏👏

Voxel overlap is the most commonly used metric to assess correspondence in 🧠 imaging despite many limitations. We hope that this @afids_project release, curated by @alaa_t_ et al, will facilitate more accurate 📏 assessments (and more..)! 🎯#openscience nature.com/articles/s4159…
I had a fascinating conversation with Dr. Charles Jennings, who served as editor @Nature and founding editor in chief @NatureNeuro about science publishing, the role of editors and about his current work – back in academia at the Ann Romney Center here at @BWHNeurology 👇👇

Nice kinesthetic neuron, here tuned to passive wrist position, identified during awake mapping.🧠🎯⚡️ Credit to neurophysiologist @GilmoreGreydon for the video (and excellent microelectrode recordings of course too). Best with audio on. #meded #DBS #neurosurgery #neurology
Very special episode with three of the world-wide functional neurosurgery history experts in a single episode! And first episode proudly produced by @alaa_t_ who joined the @stimbrains team to help me with production 🙏!
