I am working on a project, looking at the correlation between groove and brain entrainment but, I ran into an issue with my data analysis. There is a significant discrepancy between the timestamps in the EEG recorded by Muse and the marker timestamps. This is keeping me from doing any more analysis

Does anyone know how I should go about fixing this?

Dear colleague,

We are conducting an online study to explore how scientists, like yourself, learn about the world. We are inviting you to participate in the experiment.

Study Details

The study takes roughly 30 minutes, during which you will be exploring the functions of a fictional brain area by conducting scientific experiments. Your objective will be to learn the link between this neural area and behavioral outcomes.

Eligibility

18+ years old

Current PhD student or higher in Neuroscience or a similar field (including postdocs, junior & senior faculty, research scientists, etc)

Residing in the US

Compensation

You will receive $10 reimbursement through Paypal, Venmo, or a gift card of your choice.

If you are interested in participating in the study, please email Marina Dubova at mdubova@iu.edu to sign up.

Thank you for considering participating in this study. Your participation could help shape our understanding of how scientists learn about the world and how this learning could be improved.

The study is approved by Indiana University IRB (Protocol #20811).

Does anybody have experience running a basic SSVEP (the most basic black/white flickering square paradigm possible) EEG analysis? I have a few basic/fundamental questions that are proving hard to find online. I just need somebody who has run a study and knows what the normal data looks like to ask a few questions. Feel free to comment or DM me

Will a BA in psychology without science requirements(chemistry, physics, biology) be fine if you take neuro courses or will it lower your chances for getting into a cogneuro post-grad program? Is a BSc better?

Cannabis and Consciousness Study

You are invited to participate in research! Researchers at the University of British Columbia are conducting research on cannabis and consciousness. Participation will take 2 sessions of 90 mins, and you will be compensated $40 CAD upon completion.

You can participate if you are over the age of 18 and are a regular (1x or more a week) cannabis user in North America.

All responses will be confidential, and no personal identification will be attached to the data.

I recently published an article in the Journal of Open Source Software, detailing software I created to run ROI analyses on fMRI data (the fMRI ROI Analysis Tool, or fRAT for short).

Any voxelwise map can be used with the software, however some examples of usage of the software include:

1. Calculation and reporting of tSNR for the region being investigated.

2. Summarising effect size or beta maps for the region being investigated, using atlas derived ROIs. This prevents circular analysis which can occur when using functionally derived ROIs to conduct power analyses.

3. Using the statistical and visualisation tools of fRAT to compare different MRI parameters, with the aim of optimisation of these parameters for the specific region being investigated.

The software will continue to be extended in the future to add new functionality, such as adding to the scan editing utilities currently present (adding simulated noise or motion to scans). There are installation instructions in the documentation in case you are interested in using it.

Hi! I'm interested in doing post-grad in cognitive neuroscience and I'm wondering how a bachelor in computer science can help. Or is CS not going to be useful for cognitive neuroscience? Could you please give me advice? Thank you.

Hi, I recently wrote an article about chronic stress and its effects on the brain. I would appreciate some feedback on it.

In the article, I discussed how chronic stress affects the brain's cognitive, emotional, and physical health by triggering inflammation in the body, which weakens the blood-brain barrier and leads to brain inflammation. This, in turn, can cause a decrease in motivation, mental agility, and shrinkage of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. I also provided some suggestions on how to rest your brain after undergoing heavy stress for some time.

Please feel free to give feedback and share your thoughts. Here is the link: https://www.theistanbulchronicle.com/post/the-neuroscience-of-stress-how-it-affects-you-and-your-brain-what-to-do

Hello everyone, I am a master's student currently recruiting participants with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder for my dissertation. The purpose is to investigate language and emotion processing in adults with ASD in multi-speaker settings. The study will take place online. Participation only takes 15 minutes. The only prerequisites will be to take part on a computer/laptop and a pair of headphones, as this study involves a lot of auditory stimuli. If you are interested in taking part, please DM me. Thanks.

Want to participate in science? At the UNLV Music Lab (Principal Investigator: Erin Hannon) we study how different people respond to music, language, and the many sounds in the world. We are currently recruiting for a research study in which we will ask you questions about which sounds you like and dislike, your musical experiences and habits, and your general auditory experiences, and you will do some short listening tests. The study should take 60 minutes. If you would like to take the survey click HERE. For more information about the study email questions to UNLVmusiclab@gmail.com or call us 702-895-2995.

This experiment is now over. Thank you to everyone who took part. I will upload the results after data analysis if it is not against the rules.

I am currently in a General Psychology PhD program, but a lot of my work involves cognitive and neuropsychology elements. I am currently looking at cognitive load theory (CLT) in relation to pre-licensure education programs (nursing, medicine). Despite receiving a good grade on a paper, I was confused about some of the comments a professor made and requested a meeting. He kept talking about “idea laundering” and if my intention was to indoctrinate students (in addition to making some other conspiracy type comments). I was really confused what he was referring to, especially after I looked up what “idea laundering” was. Then I realized that most likely since his speciality is not related to cogneuro, that his rant was probably because he confused CLT with critical race theory (CRT). My questions are: 1) should I ask them directly if this is the case 2) should I address their obviously biased views 3) should I address the fact they sent me an article referring to Sokal’s idea laundering theory that was flawed itself 4)should I just let it go because I got a good grade? I’ve kept “receipts” as the kids say about what was sent and discussed either way.

Which localization of corticospinal tract damage is NOT resulting in spasticity:

a) Spasticity is always present in corticospinal tract damage

b) Brain peduncle

c) Decussation of fibers in medulla

d) Brodmann area no 4

e) C & D are correct

​

My university had this question on an online exam last year, and the correct answer was E. Can someone explain why Brodmann nr4 and medullary decussation lesion in corticospinal tract, which I think of as Upper Motor Neuron lesion, results in spasticity? Thanks alot!

What is the difference between these 3 terms? From what i've found, Parkinson-Plus and Atypical Parkinsonian are the same, while the term "Parkinsonian syndromes" doesn't include dementia with lewy bodies.

I have been tasked with epoching EEG data and then I need to re-align the epoched data so that all the EEG is aligned to the target event. The researcher I'm working with called this the re-align function.

For context, we will be using an SVM algorithm on event related potentials after the data is preprocessed and epoched and we are using Brainstorm for preprocessing. The eeg data we have has event markers for the beginning of a trial and also for when the participant responds to a stimulus. There are many of these trials back to back in a .raw eeg file. I need to create an epoch for each trial and then re-align each epoch with the event marker for the response for the that trial.

Would anyone be willing to give me a little guidance for achieving this? I looked a bit online for a re-align function but didn't find anything.

Thank you in advance.
