Love listening to the #cricket on #tms

Today's highlight had to be a discussion about the stat, "average number of strides that Stuart Broad takes (whilst fielding and running in from the boundary) before his hat falls off."

It is 8.6 if you're interested.

This paper from 2020 by Rebecca Keogh, Johanna Bergmann and Joel Pearson shows that electrical manipulation of the excitability of neurons in the prefrontal and visual cortices can be used to temporarily increase or decrease vividness of mental imagery (at least for people with some visual imagery): https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.50232

Mike Perrotta provides some background, and makes the research a little more accessible for the layperson in this 2021 article for the Aphantasia Network: https://aphantasia.com/article/science/shocking-insights/

I can no longer listen to #TMS. And the reason is Andy Zaltzman's love of inane stats. #TheAshes #cricket

Has anyone here had #TMS? Did it work for you? My Dr is pushing for it. #Depression #Anxiety #MentalHealth

Great thread & a must-read for anyone doing #neurostimulation research

hello #brainstim folk. If you aim to stimulate #somatosensory cortex, please ignore the '2cm rule' for finding #S1-hand. This heuristic appears in the majority of #TMS papers. We know this heuristic is wrong (papers below), for example (red=M1-hand, blue=S1-hand) 1/6:

Talksport Radio doing the test match in New Zealand is truly awful. They are commentating as though they are covering a football game. Shouting and screeching. It really is a complete contrast to the dignity and assured commentary of Aggers and the BBC TMS crew. #cricket #BBC #Testmatch #TMS #England

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. https://twitter.com/PLOSBiology/status/1620482043967688705

I can't remember where I originally found this graphic on the internet, but it's very handy when listening to #BBC #TMS #cricket It can't just be me whose mind is boggled by cricket fielding positions

Cattitude is proud to be listed with other legendary translation tools in the Language Technology Atlas by Nimdzi Insights. This is an important first step for further recognition in the translation industry and an incentive to continue constantly improving ourselves based on Japanese Kaizen principles: never be satisfied and always strive for more. Because a product will never be perfect and needs constant improvement. #translation #localization #tms #cat

Starting to to clear up for Xmas and listerning to #TMS

That was a proper Test!!! #BBCcricket #PAKvENG #TMS

Probability wave collapses and it's OUT. Excellent win for England. What larks! #TMS #cricket #ENGvPAK

Biting nails time - excellent midwinter entertainment from Rawalpindi #TMS #cricket

Listening to #TMS and hoping for a breakthrough - seems unlikely.

6am, tucked up in bed with #TMS #cricket on in one ear listening to the Rawalpindi runfest. Pitch sounds awful for bowlers.
Ah, last wicket taken - so that's a combined first innings of over 1200 runs - insane!

Normally I'd sync #TMS audio for a Test on $ky.

But the host broadcaster in Pakistan has employed Lord Gower.

Regaling us with tales of drinking Pimms for what he thought was a rained off Sunday League game at Cheltenham, that then wasn't...

Broadcast Gold.
