In this episode of the Neuromodulation Podcast, we're honored to sit down with Professor Konstantin Slavin, the newly appointed President of the International Neuromodulation Society.

In this episode of the Neuromodulation Podcast, we welcome back Professor Marc Russo, Immediate Past President of the INS.

In this episode of the Neuromodulation Podcast, Professor Marc Russo, the Immediate Past President of the International Neuromodulation Society, shares his reflections on his three-year tenure, highlighting key achievements, challenges, and advancements in the field of neuromodulation.

On today's minisode, Dr. Feroz Osmani reflects on his experience in interventional pain medicine at UChicago Medicine.

In this episode, Professor Konstantin Slavin reads aloud an article by Garston Liang, Alexander Thorpe, and Quentin F. Gronau, which delves into the Fragility Index (FI) and its significance in evaluating the robustness of p-value-based conclusions in clinical trials.

Key points include:

The article also addresses the importance of understanding the fragility of study results and provide insights into how FI can be used to assess the reliability of clinical trial outcomes.

Tune in to learn more about the Fragility Index and its application in medical research.

In this episode, Professor Konstantin Slavin reads aloud an article by Alexander Thorpe, Garston Liang, and Quentin F. Gronau which addresses Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and the Area Under the Curve (AUC) in evaluating predictive models.

ROC curves help determine how well a model differentiates between two outcomes, and AUC measures model performance.

Key points covered include:

Join us to learn how ROC curves and AUC can enhance your understanding of model effectiveness and help make more informed predictions in various fields.
