What defines a human dopaminergic neuron? It may seem obvious, but the lack of standardisation in defining, generating and working with human cells poses a major hurdle for neuroscience research. At #SfN2024, scientific experts from Charles River Laboratories, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, and bit.bio emphasised how standardising not only the cells themselves but also the protocols and workflows could improve research outcomes. By minimising variability, we can de-risk research programs and improve reproducibility across labs. So, what steps should be taken to achieve standardisation?

🔍 Researchers have made significant strides in studying infant social attention by combining real-time analysis with machine learning using our #Enobio. 🧠 Involving 50 infants from the British #Autism Study of Infant Siblings, this study utilized our Enobio #EEG device to measure neural responses. Researchers employed the Neuroadaptive Bayesian Optimisation method to identify how social stimuli optimally elicit brain activity. The findings revealed that infants show distinct neural patterns when engaged with social versus non-social stimuli, highlighting potential early markers for neurodevelopmental conditions. 👉 Explore the full #study and its transformative findings here: https://lnkd.in/dsnDZshi 🎉 Congratulations to Elena Throm for her exceptional work!

Ya'ira Somerville every mentor can dream of having a student like you. And once in a while you get to be the lucky one... (Not to mention you are still an undergraduate. Honors student, but still undergraduate. I predict a very bright future and career for you ) Ah and it was also fun to give one of the two lectures - telling about the 3 trials (#brainaging #memory and #chronicstress, #depresion and #axiety and #insomnia and #sleep combining brain imaging and blood work / saliva testing for #biomarkers we did in collaboration with Remepy Michal Tsur Or Shoval Merav Catalogna, PhD and Lior Benderski (to mention a few from the 20 plus people that helped)

Studying the human brain was a privilege reserved for those with substantial grants and access to expensive equipment just a decade ago. At EMOTIV, we saw this as a challenge to make neuroscience research accessible to everyone. We set out to create affordable, user-friendly tools that would enable real-world brain studies on a global scale. Today, EMOTIV technology is empowering researchers in over 140 countries, from established institutions to grassroots initiatives. We've removed the financial barriers that once limited neuroscience research, opening doors for groundbreaking studies. The breadth and depth of research enabled by our tools have surpassed our wildest expectations, proving that when we democratize science, innovation flourishes. This is just the first phase of our journey. As we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in neurotechnology, we're excited to see how researchers worldwide will use these tools to unlock the mysteries of the human brain. #Neuroscience #Innovation

🔍🧒 How can we optimize brain stimulation for children? In this study featuring our #Starstim device, researchers investigate the efficacy of #tDCS to enhance neurocognitive task performance. 🧠 Researchers assessed 57 children with anodal and sham tDCS targeting key #brain regions. With tasks like the N-back and Flanker, and advanced measures of cortical structures from #MRI scans, they identified #biomarkers that could predict the effectiveness of tDCS. 📖 Curious about how individual brain structures could guide personalized #neuromodulation treatments?
