📚 New preprint on the roles of left IFG and pre-SMA in semantic and executive control
📚 New preprint on the roles of left IFG and pre-SMA in semantic and executive control

We have a new preprint out where we investigated the causal contributions of two key regions of cognitive control: the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) in the medial frontal gyrus using TMS.

Quantification of Subject Motion during TMS via Pulsewise Coil Displacement
Quantification of Subject Motion during TMS via Pulsewise Coil Displacement

This is a letter to the editor describing a new metric we propose to quantify subject motion during TMS applications. We also suggest use cases in experimental and clinical settings and how to implement this metric in statistical analyses.

Advancing the Application of TMS in neurocognitve research and beyond
Advancing the Application of TMS in neurocognitve research and beyond

How can we make the application of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in cognitive neuroscience more robust and replicable? How can we advance its understanding for clinical applications? This page collects projects that I lead or participate in, aiming to answer these questions or at least approximate them.
