BCI Weekly Brief (week of 2026-01-19)
Triage favors electrophysiology (EMG, cortico-spinal), neural/whole-brain computational models, brain stimulation, and methods (decoding, eye tracking, connectomics). fMRI-only and drug/clinical items down-weighted. All items from Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. No BCI/neural interface or electrophysiology papers; highest relevance from neuromodulation (tDCS, iTBS, VNS), robotic therapy, and muscle-synergy/motor methods. All items from Biosensors & Bioelectronics. No BCI, neural interface, or electrophysiology papers; ranked by relevance to physiological/wearable sensing and methods.

RSS summary
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the accumulation of misfolded proteins and widespread disruptions in brain function. Computational modeling has advanced our understanding of these processes, but efforts have traditionally focused on either neuronal dynamics or the biological processes underlying disease. One class of models uses neural mass and whole-brain frameworks to simulate changes in oscillations, connectivity, and network stability. A second class focuses on biological pro…
