Spacing theta-burst stimulation enhances synaptic potentiation in the vulnerable prefrontal cortex

The paper shows that spaced theta-burst stimulation enhances synaptic potentiation in the prefrontal cortex of socially isolated mice.

Excitation-Inhibition Balance and Fronto-Limbic Connectivity Drive TMS Treatment Outcomes in Refractory Depression

This study identifies neurophysiological signatures predicting response to TMS in treatment-resistant depression using combined EEG and computational modeling.

Pulsed inhibition of corticospinal excitability by the thalamocortical sleep spindle

The paper uses real-time spindle detection to show that sleep spindles suppress corticospinal excitability during their falling flank, contributing to phase-dependent plasticity.

Exploring Motor Network Connectivity in State-Dependent Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: A Proof-of-Concept Study

This study investigates how pre-stimulation EEG connectivity of the primary motor cortex relates to motor network state and its impact on transcranial magnetic stimulation responses.

Artifacts in EEG-based BCI therapies: friend or foe?

This study shows that artifacts in EEG signals are more informative than brain activity for classification, highlighting the need for careful feature design in BCI applications.

Real-time decoding of 5 finger movements from 2 EMG channels for mixed reality human-computer interaction

This paper decodes 5 finger movements from 2 EMG channels with 94% accuracy using kNN and demonstrates real-time application in VR for HCI.

TMS-EEG signatures of glutamatergic neurotransmission in human cortex

This study uses TMS-EEG to show that anti-glutamatergic drugs affect specific TEP components, indicating distinct roles for NMDA and AMPA receptors in cortical excitability.

TMS-evoked EEG potentials from prefrontal and parietal cortex: reliability, site specificity, and effects of NMDA receptor blockade

μ-rhythm extracted with personalized EEG filters correlates with corticospinal excitability in real-time phase-triggered EEG-TMS

The paper compares two EEG filtering methods for extracting the μ-rhythm and assesses their impact on corticospinal excitability measured via TMS.

EEG-triggered TMS reveals stronger brain state-dependent modulation of motor evoked potentials at weaker stimulation intensities

The paper uses EEG-triggered TMS to show that motor evoked potentials are more modulated by micro-rhythm phase at weaker stimulation intensities, enabling better differentiation of brain states.
