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.

Sweden puts a big TAC subsidy on the table http://dlvr.it/TN89lf #Policy #RailNews #sweden #TACs
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

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.

How hard is stimulating a brain? Both easier and trickier than you might think!
Our "Unsolved Mysteries" article, out today in @PLOSBiology, began as a companion piece for our #tACS work, but we think the same challenges affect other methods (#TMS, #DBS, #Opto) too.

#introduction
I am currently a PhD student at Beijing Normal Uni (Supervisor: Yan Song) in China, and a Sponsored Researcher at Uni of Birmingham (Supervisor: Ole Jensen) in UK. My research interest is to explore the #oscillation and intervention of individual differences in naturalistic attention and memory in healthy and psychiatric populations. We use #EEG / #MEG combined #eye-tracker , non-invasive brain modulation (#tACS / #tPBM ) and computational models to conduct studies.
new paper showing no effect of #TACS #BrainStim on motor cortex plasticity protocols.
it's important that we publish all brain stimulation studies 👍
This Watch Was Inspired by the TLR Camera
If you're a fan of both photography and watches, the new TACS ATL was designed just for you. It's a watch that features a design inspired by the iconic twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera.
Unveiled back TACS in March, the ATL (which stands for Automatic Twin Lens) joins TACS' Lens Series of watches inspired by various lens and camera designs.
In case you're not familiar with vintage cameras, a TLR camera is a vintage camera design in which the camera body uses two objective lenses that have the same focal length. One of the lenses is used for the viewfinder system -- typically with the photographer framing a scene from above the camera using the ground glass -- and the other lens is the one that exposes the film when a photo is exposed.
"First released in the late 1920s, twin-lens cameras were widely used by photojournalists and correspondents to document World War II in Europe thanks to its robust and periscopic design," TACS states. "It was said that the inventor came up with the idea for the camera during World War I on a trench while peeping through a periscope."
The TACS ATL pays homage to the TLR camera with a twin-lens camera design on the watch face. The lenses within the leather "camera face" allow the wearer to peek into the skeleton movement of the watch, which winds itself as you wear it -- no batteries or manual winding required.
The rotating bezel ring of the 46.5mm watch features etching similar to what's found on a lens' focusing ring. The hour index of the watch is inspired by a lens' depth of field scale, with 8, 9, and 10 hour indexes and minute indexes for 41-44 and 46-49.
On the side of the stainless steel watch, the crown reflects the look of vintage camera focusing knobs and the crown protector looks like a camera strap's eyelet slot.
The entire dial is made of 19 different parts stacked in 11 layers.
Inside the TACS ATL is a CITIZEN MIYOTA 8N24 movement with 21 jewels, which you can watch in action through the window on the back of the watch.
Here's another special touch for photographers: when opening the ATL's box for the first time, you're greeted with a faux roll of Kodacolor 200 35mm film -- pull out the "film" to expose a series of fun snapshots. Alongside the film is a special "lens cleaning" pen for cleaning the watch's glass.
The watch itself is presented within a wooden case with a plexiglass lid.
Other specs and features of the watch include sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating, 10ATM water resistance down to 100m/333ft, a thickness of 14.8mm, and a strap width of 24mm.
The TACS ATL watch is available from the TACS website in silver for $579 with free engraving. There's also a $649 retro gold version that comes with both a leather strap and steel chain.
Full disclosure : A sample watch was provided for the purpose of this article.
