We've been saying for a while now that beta bursts might be functionally heterogeneous. Check out @quentinmoreau.bsky.social's paper where we show that different types of bursts have different relationships to behavior in a sensorimotor adaptation task 👇👇👇
3/3 This might explain why the post-movement beta rebound has been so debated: it's not one thing. It's composed of functionally distinct bursts that cancel out when averaged.

Our group has been looking at beta bursts for the last 5 years, but we do it a little differently than most - we group into types them based on their waveforms. In this open access article we lay out why and what we think this might mean

📣 Special Issue coming out in Oxford Open Neuroscience! 📣
With @samgilbert.bsky.social, Sarah Boukarras, @ryssamoffat.bsky.social, and @juancamiload.bsky.social , we're putting together a collection focused on moving beyond descriptive accounts of synchrony!

🧵 2/3 We recorded MEG while people adapted to a visuomotor rotation. Classic beta power & burst rate told part of the story, but sorting bursts by their waveform shape showed that distinct subtypes have opposing relationships with movement error !
🧵1/3 New paper out! Beta bursts aren't all the same and their waveform shape are functionally meaningful ! @maciekszul.bsky.social & @danclab.bsky.social👇

Beta band is not an oscillation. It's best seen as a set of diverse events, indexed by waveform shape.

An accessible overview on why beta band activity is best seen as a diverse set of events and not an oscillation, along with cortico-subcortical network responsible for specific waveform shape. @hollyrayson.bsky.social @quentinmoreau.bsky.social Solène Gailhard @danclab.bsky.social
