People are going hungry because they are afraid to shop. Hourly workers are unable to pay rent because they are afraid to work. Learning is being put on hold because families are afraid to send their kids to school. These are now common topics in health care visits.

While we are ok, many Minnesotans, across communities, backgrounds, and geographies, people who believe in family, neighbors, and showing up for one another, the very people who make Minnesota what it is, are suffering.

I want to start by saying thank you, truly, to my friends, family, and so many good people who have reached out to check on me during this hard moment in Minnesota. I love you all. I am okay. See thread....

Very shortly NBDC users for #ABCD and #HBCD data can have officials sign off on a DUC for safe sandbox only. They won’t have to attest to their own systems having the security requirements which will help!

Sandbox Lasso is designed to streamline secure access, querying, and responsible use of the ABCD and HBCD datasets.

Hello all of you #ABCD and #HBCD data users!

Did you know we recently deployed the NBDC Sandbox?

Jupyter, R-Studio, or open your own linux environment.

Compute in place, No Download. A 'SAFE' Cluster environment.

Go check it out!

Personalized Adaptive Cortical Electro-stimulation (PACE) for depression (osf.io/preprints/psya…) …

….is now coming to Bipolar Disorder thanks to @BD2Discoveries !!! So happy to keep the work of moving forward in this capacity! Onward!!!

After the initial externalization testing where we confirm engagement of the individual networks by isolating behaviors, optimization and treatment include the entire symphony of networks. We think this is important to cover vast heterogeneity in TRD. We are testing spatial optimization too though.

super cool (& inspiring)! Finally read this and was wondering, for chronic stimulation (beyond initial 3-day electrode mappings), were all 4 electrode panels stimulated simultaneously? or were they isolated and that could vary with optimization? (didn't catch in paper, curious about PFC specificity)

FYI all. Anyone having issues with downloading our preprints I believe can still get to them when logged in. We also have some alternative links. Please reach out if you are having any issues.

A truly spectacular demonstration of the medical potential of precision mapping an individual patient's brain. I am so excited to be part of this work!

From 20+ failed treatments to lasting remission.

After decades with treatment-resistant depression and two near-fatal suicide attempts, “Mike” found relief through Precision Functional Mapping and adaptive cortical stimulation developed at the University of Minnesota
