You know, thinking of Reviewer 2 as the bear is actually kind of helpful to me psychologically - I see the bear as just trying to make some friends... He _is_ walking away looking awfully lonely at the end.

on the same notion but here we see an expansion of that idea.

In the linked post, researchers saw that using tDCS set up perhaps a favorable brain state for a drug effect.

Patient Selection in Deep Brain Stimulation: A Role for Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Enhance the Levodopa Challenge?
Dopaminergic medication and deep brain stimulation (DBS) improve motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD), but levodopa response alone may not predict DBS outcomes. We retrospectively analyzed 19 P...

Was just thinking about this paper the other day and how much I enjoyed the way they set up the study. They figured out what brain dynamics were most linked to depressive symptoms, what it took to change that state and used that to implement a closed-loop system. Would love to be pointed to more...

That said, developing tools to understanding what is a state (perhaps this is equivalent to an attractor), what are the possible states, tracking states in real-time and assessing what it takes to move from one state to another, is a direction I'm truly excited to engage with.

My suspicion is that degeneracy (the states possible under one set of parameters vs another can be the same) makes this kind of inference (i.e. assessing whether the system changed or it just received sufficient input to reach a new state) difficult. A classic: www.nature.com/articles/nn1...

See the figure attached below.

The green line and shading represents thalamic spindle coupling in the absence of a coupled thalamic spikes while the orange/red line and shading represents the thalamic spindle coupling in the presence of epileptic spikes.

Honestly any odds ratio should come with an expected frequency icon array. Just so much more interpretable.
