Please RT 2 new positions in the lab as postdoc & PhD! Interested in stress, pain, or reward? This project has it all! We are a friendly but ambitious group. Oslo is a capital city on the fjord & bordered by forest, great urban & outdoors opportunities: 💃 ⛷️ 🚣 🎭 🎶 www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

My new essay for @thetransmitter.bsky.social. Why is understanding emotion so challenging? The debates around what counts as an "emotion" shed insight. These disputes are multidimensional, principled and fascinating. Here, I unpack them. www.thetransmitter.org/the-big-pict...

Excited to share my first postdoc project in collaboration with @jseubert.bsky.social and @margaveldhuizen.bsky.social , now published with @natcomms.nature.com, where we describe a potential mechanism for flavour integration in the insula. #NeuroSkyence #FlavourScience doi.org/10.1038/s414... 1/10

🍲🍲 NEW PAPER 🍰🍰 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Food choices are always a tradeoff between the benefits of energy intake and the risk of accidental contamination. The relative importance of these two varies depending on a person's current metabolic need. (1/3)

What's the right way to think about modularity in the brain? This devilish 😈 question is a big part of my research now, and it started with this paper with @solarpunkgabs.bsky.social, finally published after the first preprint in 2021! 🤖🧠🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thanks to everyone's feedback, we have updated our calculator to optimize sample size N & scan time T for fMRI studies: leonoqr.github.io/ORSP_Calcula... The first new feature is that users can explore how different N & T leads to different accuracy, e.g., N=1000 & T=30min => 81% max accuracy. 🧵

PREPRINT ALERT! Come and check out our (with @margaveldhuizen.bsky.social and @jseubert.bsky.social) on how overlapping insular codes of retronasal odours and their associated tastes! 1/n

This has been such a pleasure to work on and make new friends across the senses! In this review, we compare the evidence for perceptual penetrability across the senses-that is, to what extent cognition shapes experience as opposed to biasing it. High in olfaction, low in gustation is my take home :)

🌶️🌶️JOB ALERT 🌶️🌶️Nutrilab@KI is recruiting a postdoc to join the team working on ERC StG OLFLINK. ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/... suits a candidate with a cog neuro background, expertise in perception/motivation and interest in gut-brain interactions and food consumption. Come join us in Stockholm!

New preprint with @agustation.bsky.social and @odorjohan.bsky.social on contributions of perception and metabolic state to flavor pleasantness perception. We find additive instead of the expected interactive effects-also, mere exposure arises rapidly and obscures these effects if not accounted for 🍔

For years we have tended to discount activation signals in the white matter as artifact. It's becoming clear now that this was a mistake - white matter shows stimulus-driven activation similar (though much smaller) to gray matter. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37824529/

Hey #NeuroSky, we have published the paper from my PhD work, where we show that the orbitofrontal cortex encodes the texture and reward value of fat. Decoding strength is correlated with high fat consumption during a real-life eating task. www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... #neuroscience #PsychSciSky

My lab is looking to hire a full time research assistant for one year. Main responsibilities are to help with data acquisition and data management for an ongoing behavioral study that studies metabolic modulation of anticipatory food reward processing. ki.varbi.com/se/what:job/...

🚀 We've officially landed on Bluesky! Excited to join this vibrant new platform and (re)connect with all of you! 🗣️💬 Help us spread the word by retweeting and following.

Fantastic postdoc opportunity!

Are you in the Brussels area and want to join the debate on how basic science can help identify strategies for more sustainable food production and consumption? Come by and hear my cognitive neuroscience take on this question 🙂 bit.ly/3Lai5Jc

#HiSciSky Janina Seubert here, researcher in psych/ cog neuro from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. I lead a research group that studies encoding and retrieval of sensory pleasure during food consumption. More soon :)
