🥱Our new study in @currentbiology.bsky.social shows that fetal yawning increases selectively in response to maternal contagious yawning. Social attunement may begin in the womb. 🤰 #ContagiousYawning #FetalBehavior #PrenatalDevelopment #CoEmbodiment www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

⏰ Search for datasets ⏰ As part of a planned study on pain-related empathy, we are searching for suitable stimulus material, ideally short video sequences (1–3 seconds) depicting pain-distorted facial expressions 🫤😵‍💫😬

Latest preprint from @bodybrainbehaviour.bsky.social by @teresaberther.bsky.social and @martinasaltafossi.bsky.social on cardio-respiratory modulation of arousal and excitability states in the human brain - overlap, distinctions, and implications for brain-body #neuroskyence. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Our new article is out! 🧠🫀 We investigated heartbeat-locked brain activity using #MEG and found that beta-band suppression was enhanced during interoceptive attention and in individuals with higher interoceptive accuracy. #neuroskyence #interoception @uniofjyvaskyla.bsky.social

📣 Emotion researchers! We need your input! We're designing a 2D/screen version of AffectTracker for real-time continuous ratings of affective experience, and we want the community to shape it. Got 1 minute? Fill out our short survey and help us make the right design choices 👇 🙏🙏🙏

Excited to share our new preprint 📣 with P. Haggard, A. Villringer & @michaelgaebler.com Do internal bodily rhythms (cardiac + respiratory) shape not only when we act, but also our sense of agency (the feeling of control over actions and outcomes)? 🫀🫁 A thread below 🧵 [1/5]

Job alert! Assistant professor position in Precision Neuropsychology now available at Maastricht University. Were looking for someone interested in individualised approaches to brain-behaviour relationships in clinically relevant contexts - e.g., cognitive fingerprinting, predictive modelling.

Interorgan crosstalk typically occurs via the bloodstream. We showed that brain-heart-gut interplay also occurs in their electrophysiology at infra-slow timescales. We found that fluctuations in the gut are typically followed by the brain and heart after tens of seconds. doi.org/10.64898/202...

📢**PhD position #NeuroJobs ** I'm looking for a PhD candidate to work on infraslow rhythms in neurophysiological data. Application deadline: 20th May. Please see here for details: benediktzoefel.wixsite.com/home/phd

We need to celebrate positive news stories whenever we can 🍆

Truly one of the decisions of all time. If the reviewers were overloaded, why not just make the applications more lightweight? Now people spend months writing a B2 that no one reads, and may never get a shot at improving it. After 2 years an application idea is probably redundant, anyways.

New paper: In a larger longitudinal sample, HR and #HRV predicted later reductions in depression and better functioning. HRV also predicted fewer BPD criteria. Not causal—but suggests #ANS as meaningful treatment target. Now published in Translational Psychiatry! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The brain has no spare parts. Yet in cycling-first countries, helmets remain rare. Neuropsychiatrist David Linden sees the impact daily: brain injuries that could often be less severe with protection. Prevention matters. Wear a helmet. Read more 👉 edu.nl/xbqe6 #DagVanDeFietsHelm #Prevention

Wow I love how clearly you can see lake Päijänne on this! I’m fortunate to live less than a km from one of its many many beaches.

TMSMultiLab is an international network for researchers using #TMS - transcranial magnetic stimulation. There are about 85 of us, over 14 countries. We've written a few papers so far (under review / in prep), but more importantly we hold monthly Meetings: Free to all! github.com/TMSMultiLab/...

OPEN POSTDOC position (part of @erc.europa.eu Consolidator DYNALANG) We build math&comp models of neural dynamics using insights from formal linguistics + ML Seeking theory-driven researchers w/ interests in language, neural dynamics, & math/comp neuroscience. Apply here: tinyurl.com/55exdpse

time extensions (contracts & grants): great, but if they are not applied automatically, it leaves you at the mercy of bureaucrats & PIs. small grants for travel & etc: great, but why do organizers & agencies need like 10 documents & 2 rec letters for such limited $ amounts?

core requirements as always: time & money. e.g.: UCSD childcare $2,6k per month = over 50% of postdoc salary (& long waitlist also). I talked to a research director who felt it was out of scope for him to be concerned with that. but maybe these 'fringe topics' should be more front & center.

Yes there are nice points raised here but am I the only one getting tired of the ratio of pieces giving advice on how academic moms can carry the workload versus pieces on how institutions/funders/collaborators etc can make the workload more bearable? 🤷🏼‍♀️

more MEG artefacts: the tram runs in ~200 meter distance from the MEG lab here. even though the MEG sensors are shielded by a few tons of metal, they still pick up the railway traction power signal (at 16.67 Hz in Germany), a demo of their high sensitivity.

Out now in @natcomms.nature.com, our latest from @bodybrainbehaviour.bsky.social: Visual perception, oscillatory excitability markers, and network connectivity are modulated by the breathing rhythm - depending on how much you know about the stimulus. #brainbody #neuroskyence

Why does live music hit different? Our new paper has a neural answer: EEG in a concert hall showed stronger brain-rhythm phase locking during live vs. recorded Bach violin — and that predicts higher pleasure & engagement. 1/2

Our latest work on respiratory and non-respiratory contributions to the Anticipatory Cardiac Deceleration (ACD) is out! 🫁🫀 As suspected, respiration accounts significantly to the ACD via respiratory HRV, but it seems that it does not fully explain it! [1/2] onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
