Hmmm - 75 followers in the last 24 hours. Am I on some new list? Anyway hello to my followers, new and old. I used to be way more active on social media, but nowadays it's rough. Here's our most recent paper while I have your attention: www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

Listen to @ulrikebingel.bsky.social talk about our study in the @elife.bsky.social podcast: elifesciences.org/podcast/epis...

Our A19 PI @helenblank.bsky.social investigated the brain's predictions during speech comprehension 🗯️ Evidence from EEG shows that two mechanisms operate at different hierarchical levels during speech perception 🗣️ Super relevant work for our CRC about how communication works in the brain! 🧠 ↘️

This was a joint effort of @markusruetgen.bsky.social (@ki.se and @scanunit.bsky.social), @ulrikebingel.bsky.social, Philipp Dahmen (a talented medical doctoral student), and me! 💪 The work was funded by the @dfg.de (@sfb-trr-289.bsky.social) and @fwf-at.bsky.social! 🙏

Two of our PIs, @ulrikebingel.bsky.social and Manfred Schedlowski, supported this new study recently published in the journal Clinical and Translational Science! ✨ Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/cts....

Amazing work, Helena and all who contributed to this team effort. Wonderful how collaboration and team efforts make our science better, robust and impactful!

Looking forward to this great event!

Sounds like a great opportunity for ECRs in Brain Imaging!

⏰ Heute brauchen wir EURE Hilfe! ⏰ Seid ihr im Gesundheitswesen tätig und *nicht* Teil des SFB/TRR 289? 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ Dann füllt unseren Fragebogen (10-15 min) aus und gebt uns Feedback zu unserem Newsletter! Leitet ihn auch gerne an Kolleg:innen weiter! 😍 Hier geht's zum Fragebogen ▶️ shorturl.at/DR7D5

What a week! Congrats to the whole SFB1280 team, especially our speakers Onur Güntürkün and Dagmar Timmann. Also huge thanks to Sigrid Elsenbruch who led „team translation“. Of course I am convinced that this was crucially important to secure the 3rd funding period.

In a webinar, @jlaferton.bsky.social recently shared valuable insights on how clinicians can enhance patient outcomes: 1️⃣ Ask about individual expectations & experiences 2️⃣ Strengthen patient-clinician relationship 3️⃣ Improve benefit expectations 4️⃣ Manage adverse effects & control expectations

I am so proud and deeply impressed by the amazing work of our ECRs. We could have awarded even more of the ECR publications evolved from the 1st funding period!

All in all, it was a fantastic retreat with lots of exchange at eye-level, between researchers of different fields and career stages, and the members of our Patient Advisory Board. This is the research of the future! ♥️ @ulrikebingel.bsky.social @sheddenmora.bsky.social @helenahartmann.com

Science communication rocks! This is a great poster format that actually makes our science meaningful for everybody including ourselves!

great expectations of science, collaboration and team spirit. Looking forward to the next two days!

Huge congrats, Marcella!!!!

❤️ Bluesky fMRI people! 3-day #fMRI course live online Jan 7-9, 2026. #SPM, #ICA, GLM, connectivity, mediation, MRI physics, #DataScience with @vcalhoun.bsky.social and Kent Kiehl. We love talking methods & connecting with colleagues! Come join us! Register here: sites.google.com/dartmouth.ed...

Today, our speaker @ulrikebingel.bsky.social have a talk about pain and headache at the German Neurology Congress 2025 in Berlin! 🤩 In the meantime, we are getting ready for our CRC retreat next week where all members will exchange, discuss and plot new research! 🤫 @neurologieessen.bsky.social

Bitte teilen und Werbung machen. Das ist das erste Lehrbuch dieser Art und relevant für ALLE, die im Gesundheitssystem arbeiten!

Great brand new metaanalysis on experimental nocebo effects and what factors modulate them - By @madelinestein.bsky.social in the lab of @devinterhune.bsky.social. @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social @laurenatlas.bsky.social @winstontan.bsky.social @christianbuchel.bsky.social @bencolagiuri.bsky.social

Congratulations! And thanks for sharing your personal placebo and nocebo stories. More of these can be found on our Website www.treatment-expectation.de

Check out our recent work on open label placebos as an adjunct treatment for migraine in JAMA Network Open!

I could not be more proud! Our SFB rocks!

So very happy to be a part of the group of trainers giving #scicomm workshops for the @nawik.de 💚 I never imagined that I would enjoy presenting and teaching... 🤔 Since then I've discovered that helping others discover the joys of science communication is truly rewarding 😍

The peer-review of a manuscript led by the A01 team around @ulrikebingel.bsky.social has now been completed! We responded to the reviewer comments & revised the manuscript! 💪 Thanks @elife.bsky.social - it's great to be part of this new publishing frontier! 😍 elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Wirkstoff Mensch, besser könnte es zu unserer Forschung nicht passen! Hört mal rein!

🌟 Today we have news from project A02! 🌟 @christianbuchel.bsky.social and Lieven Schenk from @isnlab.bsky.social @uni-hamburg.de talk about the role of side effect knowledge for treatment outcomes! 🤯 Read the article (in German/English): www.hamburg.de/leben-in-ham...

So glad that such important analyses are published in Science. I hope the world understands that this is only showcased for the NIH….

I would come, Siri… Sounds like an amazing opportunity!

Of course, the ongoing C-TNBS symposium wouldn't be complete without @ulrikebingel.bsky.social giving an update on what we are doing in our CRC in the new funding period 🤩 Also featuring talks by Tamas Spisak, Dagmar Timmann & @helenahartmann.com 😁 @neurologieessen.bsky.social @unidue.bsky.social

Thanks for sharing Tor!

Danke an Julian Aé vom Spiegel für das tolle Interview! Wir müssen noch viel mehr über Placebo- und Noceboeffekte bei echten medizinischen Behandlungen sprechen, als die Placebos selbst!

This is a wonderful programme! Grateful to already host two excellent students from the Max Planck School of Cognition.

September is Pain Awareness Month, a global campaign to help spread awareness of issues related to pain and pain management. Join IASP in bringing awareness to Pain: bit.ly/41pzBkW #painawarenessmonth, #painisreal

Treatment expectation: Wie gut das Schmerzmittel Ibuprofen wirkt, hängt nicht nur vom Wirkstoff selbst ab. Auch die ärztliche Kommunikation beeinflusst, wie gut die Behandlung wirkt. Eingeordnet habe ich das Ganze im Dlf mit Prof. @ulrikebingel.bsky.social: www.deutschlandfunk.de/erwartungsha...

So exciting. How wonderful to have Falk Eippert, Jürgen Finsterbusch and Nik Weiskopf to push the methodological limits 🥳

I am thrilled about this new preprint of ours! Using 7T fMRI of the spinal cord we uncover two different spinal response components – phasic and tonic heat responses – that map differentially onto superficial and deep layers of the dorsal horn! 🔥Long thread upcoming!🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Die Artikel im Vereinsblatt „Skeptiker“ haben in der Regel ein viel höheres Niveau (ein Bsp. aus der letzten Ausgabe wäre der tolle Artikel vom @ulrikebingel.bsky.social‬ über den Placebo Effekt).

This project will create a new computational method to understand how the brain structural connectivity responds to stress and disruption, providing novel insights into the mechanistic aspects. 🤯 This research aims to develop better tools for studying brain-behavior characterization. 🧠

The radio channel SWR1 talked to @ulrikebingel.bsky.social about how the brain influences the body and how placebo and nocebo effects work 🧠 Read the interview or listen to it (in German): www.swr.de/swr1/rp/prog...

The CRC is deeply saddened and shocked by the recent and unexpected passing of our esteemed colleague, Professor Andrea Evers. Andrea was a trailblazer in the field of placebo research and a driving force in fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.

In the German @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy radio programme "Sprechstunde", Prof. Wiebke Sondermann from our CRC explains how psoriasis develops, what consequences it can have and what treatment options are available for those affected. Listen to it: www.deutschlandfunk.de/schuppenflec...

Distressing, stigmatising & with no prospect of a real cure: Psoriasis means a major reduction in quality of life for millions of people in Germany. Fortunately, the disease can be treated well in most cases - also thanks to so-called biologics, which attack the causes of the symptoms in the body.

New video from the patient university of the Medizinische Hochschule Hannover! ✨ Ulrike Bingel & Matthias Karst talk about how chronic pain develops and how a pain therapy works 😫👩‍⚕️ Watch it here in German: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiTn...

Best Team ever ❤️

Super interessantes Interview auch mit tollen Beiträgen von Betroffenen. Komme gerne wieder!
