Of late I have been exasperated by reviewers who have been asking why do I not have a healthy control group in any of my investigations. Here is my take on why we shouldn’t be comparing a neurologically interrupted brain to an intact brain onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Our exciting result in post-stroke fatigue finally in print! @EffortLab @Sasha_Synch @DonckerWilliam
Ondobaka et al. report that subjective post-stroke fatigue can be explained by an imbalance in inter-hemispheric inhibition, revealing a new neural mechanism that could ultimately serve as a therapeutic target. bit.ly/3IYqECW

This is the last week to complete our online study looking into #fatigue and visual perception across different neurological disorders! The study takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. Find the link for the study below
We have recently launched an online study to explore the relationship between visual perception and chronic pathological #fatigue in neurological disorders, from #stroke, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and TBI. Click on the link to take part: research.sc/participant/logi…

In October, we hosted the annual UCL World Stroke Day Forum, along with UCL research groups and 16 charity partners. Learn how the Forum has grown since its inception in 2018, and how this year's 15 digital sessions helped empower stroke survivors. engagement.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk…

What an amazing project to be a part of! Definitely worth exploring all the work that has come out of this project, particularly given that it was carried out during the global pandemic!
