I make people play boring video games and then zap their brains with magnetic pulses to understand how memory works.

I see some recent TMS studies relying on phosphenes and discussing that (as expected) not all participants report reliable phosphenes. Just wanted to remind you that we’ve estimated this to help you out. One in four folk will fail to perceive phosphenes.

Also, with a subset of our data, we found that PT intensities are higher than MT.

This correlation remained robust in all subsequent exploratory analyses. The exploratory analyses showed that different parameters (such as single vs paired pulse for PT, and 50 vs. 100 μV for MT), affect the linear relationship.

A few studies have tried to clarify whether PT and MT are correlated, though they provided contradictory findings. We gathered them all, and conducted a meta-correlation revealing that the two are correlated (ρ = 0.4).

Our latest work now on @biorxiv_neursci

Through meta-analysis we show that TMS phosphene & motor thresholds are correlated.

Hey vision scientists. Help me out here. Look at the figure below. Accordingly, doesn’t this mean that some stimuli within the visual field will not cross the optic chiasm? Why are we ignoring ipsilateral/uncrossed representations? #neuroscience #perception #vision

Marcus made my day today. Thought he can make yours too.
