What EEG doesn't see: a whole-brain MEG map of sleep spindles and slow oscillations

This paper maps sleep spindles and slow oscillations across the brain using MEG and EEG, showing that single scalp derivations provide a selective and composite view of these rhythms.

Beyond the session: delayed effects of prefrontal theta-burst stimulation onthe liking of newly learned melodies

This study examines how prefrontal theta-burst stimulation affects the liking of newly learned melodies over time, finding delayed effects on musical preference without impacting early skill acquisition.

Sleep Spindle-Locked Targeted Memory Reactivation Enhances Declarative Memory Consolidation

This study shows that targeted memory reactivation during sleep spindles improves recall-based memory retention, with spindle temporal clustering affecting different memory outcomes.

Hitting the right pitch: Cortical tracking of speech fundamental frequency in auditory and somatomotor regions

This study investigates how brain rhythms track speech fundamental frequency (F0) across different speech rates using magnetoencephalography, finding coupling in auditory and somatomotor regions.

Auditory working memory mediates the relationship between musicianship and auditory stream segregation

This study shows that musical training improves auditory stream segregation through enhanced auditory working memory, confirmed in two independent samples.

Spatiotemporal patterns of theta-band activity during rapid-eye movement sleep: a magnetoencephalography analysis

This study uses M/EEG to characterize theta-band activity during REM sleep, comparing it to working memory task-induced theta and identifying distinct spatial and frequency patterns.

Feasibility of cognitive neuroscience data collection during a speleological expedition

The paper tests the feasibility of collecting cognitive neuroscience data during a cave expedition, finding it viable for studying brain state and performance in complex environments.

The neurophysiology of closed-loop auditory stimulation in sleep: a magnetoencephalography study

This study investigates how closed-loop auditory stimulation during sleep affects brain activity using magnetoencephalography, finding that ventral frontal regions are critical for slow oscillation generation.

An open, analysis-ready, and quality controlled resource for pediatric brain white-matter research

The paper curates and provides analysis-ready diffusion MRI data for pediatric brain white-matter research, including automated quality control using a trained neural network.

Sigma Oscillations Protect or Reinstate Motor Memory Depending on their Temporal Coordination with Slow Waves

The paper shows that auditory TMR during sleep enhances motor memory by modulating slow wave-sigma oscillation coupling depending on timing.

Oscillatory entrainment of the Frequency Following Response in auditory cortical and subcortical structures

The paper investigates oscillatory entrainment in auditory cortical and subcortical structures using FFR data from MEG and EEG, finding evidence of phase alignment and frequency convergence.
