Day 8: Still on the topic of memory - a lot of people want to have a “better” memory. Improving memory is also an active research topic, as it has tremendous potential in disorders that affect memory, such as dementia. One method that is currently being studied is transcranial stimulation - basically applying small currents to the scalp. The results are still somewhat mixed and a lot more research is necessary to optimize such protocols, but that hasn’t stopped the development of commercial applications that claim unproven benefits. Yet here’s the kicker: when tested in the lab, some of these commercial devices actually had negative effects, leading to worse memory performance.

I was a bit dubious about this study in the Guardian theguardian.com/science/articl, and now it's led me down a rabbit hole finding loads of papers that misused G*power and are consequently badly underpowered .
And the original 'brain stimulation eases hearbreak" paper is looking v problematic.

#introduction time...

My work focuses on neuronal #oscillations, the circuit mechanisms that generate them, their role in cognitive processes like #attention and #decisionmaking, and on optimising transcranial #BrainStimulation to alter brain function.

Other interests: #DataViz, team science, improving #reproducibility in neuroimaging.

Right now I'm a post-doc at the University of Oxford, but I'm incredibly excited to be joining the University of Birmingham as an Assistant Professor in a few months.

Looking forward to meeting and talking to people on here 👍​

#introduction

Hello,

I newly migrated from #MedTwitter to #MedMastodon!

My name is Igor, and I'm a physician-scientist and aspiring #psychiatrist from Salvador-Brazil 🇧🇷. During my #MD & #PhD at the Federal University of Bahia, I was mainly involved with #brainstimulation and #ketamine to treat #mentaldisorders. Part of my medical degree took place at The University of Sydney (Australia), where I lived for 15 months between 2016-2017 through the Science Without Borders scholarship program 🦘🇦🇺.
