Neuroadaptive Bayesian optimization and hypothesis testing

R Lorenz, A Hampshire, R Leech - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2017 - cell.com
Cognitive neuroscientists are often interested in broad research questions, yet use overly
narrow experimental designs by considering only a small subset of possible experimental …

LSD enhances the emotional response to music

M Kaelen, FS Barrett, L Roseman, R Lorenz… - …, 2015 - Springer
Rationale There is renewed interest in the therapeutic potential of psychedelic drugs such as
lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). LSD was used extensively in the 1950s and 1960s as an …

[HTML][HTML] Efficiently searching through large tACS parameter spaces using closed-loop Bayesian optimization

R Lorenz, LE Simmons, RP Monti, JL Arthur, S Limal… - Brain stimulation, 2019 - Elsevier
Background Selecting optimal stimulation parameters from numerous possibilities is a
major obstacle for assessing the efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation. Objective We …

[HTML][HTML] The Automatic Neuroscientist: A framework for optimizing experimental design with closed-loop real-time fMRI

R Lorenz, RP Monti, IR Violante, C Anagnostopoulos… - NeuroImage, 2016 - Elsevier
Functional neuroimaging typically explores how a particular task activates a set of brain
regions. Importantly though, the same neural system can be activated by inherently different …

[HTML][HTML] Predicting responses to psychedelics: a prospective study

…, D Nutt, RE Daws, ADG Hampshire, R Lorenz… - Frontiers in …, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Responses to psychedelics are notoriously difficult to predict, yet significant work is currently
underway to assess their therapeutic potential and the level of interest in psychedelics …

[HTML][HTML] TemplateFlow: FAIR-sharing of multi-scale, multi-species brain models

R Ciric, WH Thompson, R Lorenz, M Goncalves… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Reference anatomies of the brain (‘templates’) and corresponding atlases are the foundation
for reporting standardized neuroimaging results. Currently, there is no registry of templates …

[HTML][HTML] Dissociating frontoparietal brain networks with neuroadaptive Bayesian optimization

R Lorenz, IR Violante, RP Monti, G Montana… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Understanding the unique contributions of frontoparietal networks (FPN) in cognition is
challenging because they overlap spatially and are co-activated by diverse tasks. Characterizing …

Externally induced frontoparietal synchronization modulates network dynamics and enhances working memory performance

IR Violante, LM Li, DW Carmichael, R Lorenz, R Leech… - elife, 2017 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.22001.001 Cognitive functions such as working memory (WM) are emergent
properties of large-scale network interactions. Synchronisation of oscillatory activity might …

LSD modulates music-induced imagery via changes in parahippocampal connectivity

…, J Kahan, A Santos-Ribeiro, C Orban, R Lorenz… - European …, 2016 - Elsevier
Psychedelic drugs such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) were used extensively in
psychiatry in the past and their therapeutic potential is beginning to be re-examined today. …

Cascades and cognitive state: focused attention incurs subcritical dynamics

ED Fagerholm, R Lorenz, G Scott, M Dinov… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
The analysis of neuronal avalanches supports the hypothesis that the human cortex operates
with critical neural dynamics. Here, we investigate the relationship between cascades of …
