As the holidays are right around the corner, I'll be posting my wishlist of items that caught my eye yet again this year.

The Automatic Cassette by TACS is a retro-styled automatic watch inspired by cassette players. Nostalgic elements like cassette-style dial, playback icons, volume-style crown, and tape-deck textures bring back the analog era.

Automatic Cassette Watch – 24 Jewel Retro Timepiece | TACS

Travel back to the 80s with the Automatic Cassette – a 24-jewel Japanese watch featuring a cassette-style dial and K1 glass. Inspired by analog music players.

tACS modulates entrainment to rhythmic #auditory stimuli. @YurannyCabralCalderin & Molly Henry show that effects of tACS depend on the individual's preferred frequency, and that #sensory stimuli have stronger effects than #tACS on behavior when both are applied @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3FyIot4
Sensory stimulation enhances visual working memory capacity https://www.nature.com/articles/s44271-024-00158-6 "we applied rhythmic visual and auditory sensory stimulation at 4 Hz and 7 Hz, aiming to modulate vWM capacity". Look ma, no #tACS! #neuroscience
Sensory stimulation enhances visual working memory capacity - Communications Psychology

Visual or auditory stimulation at 4 Hz and 7 Hz improved visual working memory performance. This effect was more pronounced in individuals with lower visual working memory capacity.

TAC increases across Europe might kill rail freight operators - VibeWire Magazine

Track Access Charges (TACs) are on the rise in many European countries. For many rail freight operators this is a massive burden that could threaten their very existence, as their Ability-to-pay is basically null. RailFreight.com had a chat with Andrea Giuricin, transport economist at the University of Milan Bicocca, to better understand this trend and…

Have some links for #complexsystems for #cogsci #neurotheory #brainimaging etc.

Albeit then also going forward to therapeutic interventions?
Quite rare, difficult to qualify & interpret!

Just learned:
''Sham stimulation'
as placebo effect equivalent —inactive, brief, or weak form of directed brainwaves— for:
#tDCS Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
#tACS Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation
#tRNS Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation

Rhythmically stimulating the brain with electrical currents appears to boost cognitive function for peak performance in healthy people, and also help people with dementia, according to meta-analysis of 102 published studies, included 2893 individuals.

New study today in Science Translational Medicine.

Rhythmically stimulating the brain with electrical currents could boost cognitive function, according to analysis of over 100 studies

Transcranial alternating current stimulation, or tACS, is a type of brain stimulation that can change neural activity and improve memory, attention and executive function.

Online phase-corrected #tACS enables one to both up- and down-regulate brain #oscillations within a short period; using such a system, this study shows that parietal #alpha oscillations have causal effects on #WorkingMemory retention #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/415aSAy
Alpha oscillatory activity is causally linked to working memory retention

With its capacity to correct for its phase differences relative to concurrent brain oscillations, an online phase-corrected tACS system provides the possibility to both up- and down-regulate targeted brain oscillations within a short period; using such a system, this study shows that parietal alpha oscillations exert causal impacts on working memory retention.
