Got Butterflies in your Stomach? 😵‍💫 I am super excited to share the first major study of my postdoc @the-ecg.bsky.social ! We report a multidimensional mental health signature of stomach-brain coupling in the largest sample to date 🧵👇https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.06.05.597517v1

🎉 Excited to share our latest preprint! 🫁 Using interoceptive psychophysics and quantitative MRI in 200+ people, we find that individual differences in respiroceptive sensitivity & precision correlate with distinct patterns of cortical microstructure.

Research shows breathing can change our exteroceptive & affective perception, but how? Pleased to share our latest study, led by my PhD student Malthe Brændholt w/ Daniel Kluger, where we investigated the cognitive mechanisms using computational modeling! 🧠📈 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Stunning new preprint from @francescafardo.bsky.social and her lab - they developed & validated a 2D adaptive model to estimate the thermal grill illusion - it reliably finds combinations of non-painful cold & warm stimuli that together elicit heat pain! #neuro #psych www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Want hands on experience in learning about brain-body interactions? Come join us in Salerno, Italy for the Waves Summer School in September! 🧠🫁🫀🏖️

New preprint from the lab!

Lots of people know that prehistoric sea turtles got big, but it can be easy to underestimate just how huge these things got. The largest verified specimen of a modern Leatherback turtle weighed in at 1,433 lbs, but this Archelon would have been closer to 11,300 lbs. #scicomm #paleosky #paleontology

Pregnancy involves dramatic changes in the body and mind, but we know little about how the self changes, or the cognitive processes underlying this changing self. Check out my new preprint with @rebeccanineill.bsky.social and Sharna Jamadar where we aim to find out: osf.io/preprints/psya… A 🧵

Many researchers in cognitive neuroscience and deep learning seem to assume that inference in the brain is hierarchical.  Our new Nature Reviews Neuroscience paper questions this assumption and proposes the shallow brain hypothesis. #neuroskyence #brain www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Are you a neuroscientist who recently joined Blue Sky? Don't forget to like and pin #neuroskyence, the largest channel for all things brain-science related! You can post with #neuroskyence or 🧠🟦 ! #psychscisky 🧪 #academicsky bsky.app/profile/did:...

We are hiring a postdoc! We're looking for someone interested in perception, imagination & consciousness, and with experience in neuroimaging (the focus is fMRI but MEG/EEG is ok). Vision science, machine learning and philosophy nerds please apply! subjectivity.sites.northeastern.edu/research/hot...

#HiSciSky #neuroskyence #PsySciSky Hi all! I'm a professor in cognitive science at the Technical University of Darmstadt. My group studies visual perception using psychophysics and computational modelling. You can learn more about our research here: www.psychologie.tu-darmstadt.de/perception/h....

317 codes donated and 317 people moved from psych twitter to #psychscisky send more codes so we can make it thru the wait-list 👍

Hello world of #neuroskyence I like brains and how they interact with peripheral rhythms like #respiration and #gastric activity. Looking forward to open discussions on all things #bodybrain

Many psychophysics & brain mapping studies use small samples. This often deeply confuses editors & reviewers trained on population statistics. It can also make it difficult to preregister & interpret such studies. Here we attempt to change that: doi.org/10.1101/2023... #neuroscience #visionscience

Hi there #PsychSciSky, #Neuroskyence, #Neuroimaging! My lab studies the computational and cognitive neuroscience of pain, with some intersections with interoception and metacognition thanks to our proximity to @mgallen.bsky.social. Excited to catch up with ex-twitter friends and make new ones here 🤗

Hello bsky! 👋 I'm a cognitive &/ computational neuroscientist interested in perception, consciousness and how behaviour affects mental health 🫁🧠. I also dabble in other things, from music and art to cycling 🚴.

Super excited to share our new preprint, the first from my new postdoc! We attempted to unravel the phenomenon of Paradoxical Heat Sensation (PHS) using computational principles from vision science in a large-scale psychophysical study (n > 200). #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
