Sometimes academia wears me down. The uncertainties, the feeling of „never enough“, the wish for a permanent contract. And then there‘s mornings like today, with to two wonderful mails, one from a possible collaborator and one from a brilliant student. That’s when you want to hold on. #ichbinhanna

Sommer, 17:00: Was mach ich mit dem angebrochenen Nachmittag? Winter, 17:00: Warum ruft mich die mitten in der Nacht an??

🥳 So pleased to share our new publication: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... The whole @kinderstudien.bsky.social lab got together to do a little scientific retreat last year and this is the result - a truly developmental perspective on the phenomenon of interpersonal neural synchrony 🧠🧠 👨‍🍼👩‍🍼

🤩We’re thrilled to launch the NIRx Learning Center, your new hub for #fNIRS support, training, and fNIRS applications! Supporting your research with accessible, expert knowledge. 🔗 nirx.net/technical-su...

job alert 🚨 come join us in beautiful Würzburg 🏰🌳🍷🫧this 3yrs Postdoc position is for German speakers interested in child&adolescent clinical psych. Although initially limited to 3 years, this position offers a possibility of tenure! happy to answer any question in advance-shoot me an📨&pls share🙃

🫁❤️New preprint out: The social, decoupled self We show effects of interpersonal synchronization of physiological rhythms on intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling: when we sync our breathing, our breathing–heart rhythms decouple, with a perturbed phase-relationship www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Grand Opening Festival 🪩 From October 3 to 5, the ISTA Campus in Klosterneuburg transforms into a hotspot at the intersection of science and art as we celebrate the opening of the VISTA Science Experience Center! Three days full of highlights. Free entry. More: https://bit.ly/4mnJ3Ne

An diejenigen unter euch, die selbst in der Wissenschaft tätig sind: 'Dinge, von denen ich mir wünsche, ich hätte sie früher gewusst' - was wäre eure Antwort gewesen?

Opening Festival Day 2 Join us for guided exhibition tours, keynotes, a science slam, and much more at the VISTA Science Experience Center—all free! Seats for keynotes are limited, so reserve your spot in advance. More info about the program & free tickets: vistascience.at/en/festival

New Article alert🧚We explored how motor synchrony in group settings affects preschoolers’ social learning & closeness. TLDR It didn't — likely due to the complexity of group (triadic) synchrony for young children. doi.org/10.3389/fpsy...

Save the date! The VISTA Science Experience Center will soon open its doors to the public. 🎉 To celebrate the occasion together, we invite you to join us for the Opening Festival from October 3–5 on the ISTA Campus. The entire program is free of charge! 🔗 https://bit.ly/4g2cdzI #hellovista

I had the privilege of being part of this amazing team. It’s truly wonderful to see what can emerge when we pool our knowledge. Here‘s our collective knowledge and takes on interpersonal neutral entrainment and synchrony in a developmental context 🪇🥁〰️🧠〰️🧠

A lot of points are resonating with me in this one.

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Kathrin Kostorz, Frank Scharnowski, et al: Investigating short windows of interbrain synchrony: A step toward fNIRS-based hyperfeedback doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

Our latest work, "Investigating short windows of interbrain synchrony: A step toward fNIRS-based hyperfeedback", is now out in @imagingneurosci.bsky.social 🧠💡🎉 doi.org/10.1162/IMAG... We've taken a key first step toward hyperfeedback - i.e. neurofeedback based on interbrain synchrony with fNIRS 🧠🔄🧠

Sitting on my balcony, I thought I’d finally enjoy summer—but I can’t, not really. Academia means having friends and colleagues across the globe, and my thoughts are now with those in and from Israel and Iran.

🚨Neue Studie: Prekäre Arbeitsverhältnisse an Österreichs Universitäten 📊 >2.300 befragte Wissenschafter:innen 🏛️ 22 Universitäten 📖 Zusammenfassung & Link zur Studie: www.nuwiss.at/nuwiss-studi... 📰 Bericht in Profil: www.profil.at/oesterreich/... 🔽 Langer Thread #ichbinhanna @nuwiss.bsky.social

Dear bsky, I have been wondering what good resources are out there on project management in science. Where things are often hard to estimate given that we are pushing the boundaries of knowledge but money and contract time are fixed. If you have good courses, papers, podcasts, plz share & repost 🙏

We have a new paper explaining all the ways you can use natural language processing to analyze text data in @natrevpsych.bsky.social We provide user friendly recommendations for using NLP to ensure rigour and reproducibility Here is a free link: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

A starter pack for people interested in inter-brain synchrony and simultaneous brain recording of all kind! Check if you're on it and, if not, let me know! #hyperscanning #dualeeg go.bsky.app/T1LTrQS

Reading on complexity theory, I am having this thought: maybe the real benefit of transdisciplinary research is not bringing diverse ideas to the table. Maybe it is getting your methods questioned much more than they would have gotten in your original field of training…

Are you new to #fNIRS? Don't worry! You can use our glossary to familiarize yourself with the terms and concepts. Huge community effort 🎊 Details: osf.io/preprints/os... Glossary: openfnirs.org/standards/fn...

I am pretty amazed about what happened here over the weekend - wouldn’t have guessed after nothing seemed to happen here for months. Now I guess my time waster is back 🙃 #neuroskyence

Found Aplysia on holidays 🤩

New preprint! 🧠🔄🧠 Interbrain synchrony is a hot topic, and associated with diverse social parameters. Neurofeedback to train it has been suggested, but is it feasible? Towards fNIRS Hyperfeedback: A Feasibility Study on Real-Time Interbrain Synchrony doi.org/10.1101/2023...
