This will be the biggest & most impactful #scicomm activity I've done so far 😱 I can't wait for ~80k people to interact with our museum exhibit & learn about the body's internal pharmacy! ✨ Thanks so much to @ulrikebingel.bsky.social, @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social & @w-i-d.de for this unique chance! ♥️

Thanks for an amazing audience and vivid discussion at the MindBrainBody Symposium in Berlin! Have a look at www.treatment-expectation.de for more information and to meet my wonderful colleages!

Excited to share @nathumbehav.nature.com's new “How to” collection—a practical set of researcher‑to‑researcher insights on everything from building supportive lab cultures to ethical online data use, designing surveys and megastudies, evaluating LLMs, and more. 🧪 www.nature.com/collections/...

New (German) podcast episode where @ulrikebingel.bsky.social talks about placebo and nocebo effects! ✨ Are they just "in our mind" or based on real bodily changes? Can they be used in medicine? 🤔 Listen to it on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4jtD... Watch it on YouTube: youtu.be/Ctf7HXvL7Eg

Was sind die Mechanismen des Placebo-Effekts und wie kann man sie nutzen? Wie sich Erwartungshaltungen von Patient*innen auf die Behandlung auswirken, darüber spricht ELH-PI @ulrikebingel.bsky.social im Deep Dive der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurologie e.V.: ➡️ www.dgn.org/mediathek/vi...

Schöner Beitrag über den JAMA Letter von @rief01.bsky.social und mir. flugundzeit.blog/drei-von-hun...

🎉 Happy to share a Letter with @rief01.bsky.social in @jama.com: We argue that clinicians should be aware of framing effects when communicating likelihoods. Eg, patients perceive "1 in 10 have side effects" as more concerning than "9 in 10 do not have side effects". jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

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...

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...
