At the IEEE EMB meeting at UC San Diego to give a talk about ‘bimodal peripheral nerve stimulation as an avenue to treat neurological disorders’. I think I am the only neuroscientist in the room surrounded by neuroengineers. It will be an interesting discussion.

Frontiers e-book comprised all the articles featured in the Research Topic: Towards an Understanding of Tinnitus Heterogeneity. This Frontiers research topic aims to provide an inter- and multi-disciplinary survey of cutting-edge research in tinnitus, in order to better understand tinnitus heterogeneity and improve therapeutic outcomes. This requires the coordinated effort of multiple scientific disciplines including neuroscience, neurology, genetics, audiology, otolaryngology, psychology, psychiatry, pharmacology, epidemiology, medical informatics, data mining and statistics.The special issue includes 80 articles by 333 experts in tinnitus.

In a new paper we investigate whether a correlation exists between tinnitus behavioural scores and functional brain connectivity of five resting-state networks comprising the auditory, the default mode, the external control left and right, and the salience network. Our results indicate that alterations of functional interactions between key neural circuits of the brain are not limited to one single network. In particular, tinnitus distress shows a strong correlation with the connectivity pattern within and between the right executive control network and the other four resting-state networks, indicating that tinnitus distress is probably the consequence of a hyperactive attention condition. Among the behavioural scores, the strongest correlation is observed between age and hearing loss, while the tinnitus objective loudness was not correlated with any behavioural scores.
