Enhancement of Sleep Slow Wave Activity using Transcranial Electrical Stimulation with Temporal Interference Open
Slow waves mediate restorative functions of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. To enhance slow wave activity (SWA, 0.5-4 Hz) non-invasively, we employed a novel neuromodulatory tool, Transcranial Electrical Stimulation with Temporal Inte…

How often should I meditate? A randomized trial examining the role of meditation frequency when total amount of meditation is held constant. Open
Meditation apps are the most commonly used mental health apps. However, the optimal dosing of app-delivered meditation practice has not been established. We examined whether the distribution of meditation practices across a day impacted ou…

Biomarkers predict the efficacy of closed-loop rTMS treatment for refractory depression Open
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive FDA-approved therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD), specifically for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Though offering promise for those with TRD, its effectiveness is les…

Increased entrainment and decreased excitability predict efficacious treatment of closed-loop phase-locked rTMS for treatment-resistant depression Open
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD), specifically for patients who have treatment-resistant depression (TRD). However, TMS produces response or remission in about 50% of pa…

Slower respiration rate is associated with higher self-reported well-being after wellness training Open
Mind–body interventions such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) may improve well-being by increasing awareness and regulation of physiological and cognitive states. However, it is unclear how practice may alter long-term, baselin…

The timing of transcranial magnetic stimulation relative to the phase of prefrontal alpha EEG modulates downstream target engagement Open
Results demonstrate that TMS-evoked top-down influences vary as a function of the prefrontal alpha rhythm, and suggest potential clinical applications whereby TMS is synchronized to the brain's internal rhythms in order to more efficiently…

Whole-brain analysis of concurrent TMS-EEG-fMRI reveals brain-wide state-dependent TMS effects Open
Introduction: Concurrent TMS-fMRI studies have established the propagation of TMS-induced activity from the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (left-DLPFC) to various afferents. However, the state-dependent effect of TMS propagation pathw…

Daily prefrontal closed-loop repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) produces progressive EEG quasi-alpha phase entrainment in depressed adults Open
The entrainment effects build over the course of days/weeks, suggesting that these effects engage neuroplastic changes which may have clinical consequences in depression or other diseases.

Functional and effective connectivity between dorsolateral prefrontal and subgenual anterior cingulate cortex depends on the timing of transcranial magnetic stimulation relative to the phase of prefrontal alpha EEG Open
BACKGROUND The communication through coherence model posits that brain rhythms are synchronized across different frequency bands and that effective connectivity strength between interacting regions depends on their phase relation. Evidence…
