Late Breaking: Congratulations to HBM fellow Dr. Bola Eldoqsh on the acceptance of his 1/f EEG study as a late-breaking abstract at AES 2026! Provisional running title: 1/f EEG in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and PNES. Among other findings, median 1/f estimates from one-minute EEG segments strongly correlated with estimates from full-duration EEG recordings, r ≈ 0.93 for the aperiodic exponent. A step in the right direction toward more efficient EEG analysis and optimizing epilepsy practice through computational signal processing and AI. #AES2026 #PNES

Cigdem is on a roll. After her recent NEST faculty work at Cleveland Clinic, there is another reason to celebrate: Dr. Cigdem Isitan-Alkawadri’s nomination for the Allegheny County Medical Society’s 2026 Ralph C. Wilde Leadership Award. I have cared for many patients alongside Cigdem, and I can attest to how highly they speak of her. Amid a busy clinical schedule and life’s ups and downs, recognition from a colleague means a great deal. Congratulations, Cigdem, and thank you to Dr. Holly Appleberry for the nomination. Well deserved.

Congratulations to Noor Qaiser, MD, Human Brain Mapping program affiliate. Our systematic-review abstract on language mapping across epilepsy and tumor surgery was accepted for poster presentation at @AmEpilepsySoc #AES2026. Noor led the work. Well earned.
