How do perceptual processes contribute to the development of psychiatric illness? @skhalsa.bsky.social and I have compiled this volume with experts from across the world to begin to answer this question.

How does the brain decide? 🧠 Our new @nature.com paper shows that neural activity switches from an 'evidence gathering' to a 'commitment' state at a precise moment we call nTc. After nTc, new evidence is ignored, revealing a neural marker for the instant when the mind is made up. rdcu.be/eGUrv

New Open dataset alert: 🧠 Introducing "Spacetop" – a massive multimodal fMRI dataset that bridges naturalistic and experimental neuroscience! N = 101 x 6 hours each = 606 functional iso-hours combining movies, pain, faces, theory-of-mind and other cognitive tasks! 🧵below

Just coming back from Adriatica Summer School ⛱️☀️ thanks to the organizers and all attendees for such fun and smart interactions!

Check out our new article for young readers (ages 8-15) on heart-brain interactions and interoception! 🧠🫀 I had so much fun co-writing this with @agatapatyczek.bsky.social @el-rei.bsky.social with the support of @michaelgaebler.com ✍️ 👉 Share it widely with curious young minds Yay for #scicomm ✨

Incredibly impressed with the calibre of research by Ye Ella Tian showing the importance of multi-organ bodily health including immunometabolics (at Adriatica Summer School 🏖️) #teamlab #mambolab #psychologywellbeing_ch #fraferri_78 #erasmus_uda

New preprint! We are pleased to share our Hierarchical Bayesian framework for Interoceptive Psychophysics! Implemented in rstan, we provide a complete suite of tools spanning model comparison, parameter recovery, multifactor designs, power analysis, and more! 🎯 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

Imaging cellular activity simultaneously across all organs of a vertebrate reveals body-wide circuits www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Thread with our reflections on the matter 👇

Got Butterflies in your Stomach? I am super excited to share the first major study of my postdoc @the-ecg.bsky.social - Now out in @natmentalhealth.nature.com! We report a multidimensional mental health signature of stomach-brain coupling in the largest sample to date www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🚨This is the most exciting step of my scientific career🚨 25 yrs ago I started a life long interest in navigation, maps & brains I've collected data from >4 m people in 195 nations in SeaHeroQuest In 3 weeks we set off on an ocean voyage to study the amazing spatial skills of Marshallese sailors:

🚨 New publication! Proud to share our latest article exploring how a “𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑠” multidisciplinary approach can bridge the gap between animal and human research in interoception & mental health. 👉 Read here : www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to share my first publication in Biological Psychology! Huge thanks to my supervisor and co-authors 🫀@alexgalvezpol.bsky.social @genarolopezmartin.bsky.social

“Relying on PRIME young adults limits cognitive science” www.cell.com/trends/cogni... new @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social piece with @connectedmindslab.bsky.social we highlight how a focus on young adults as a benchmark of ‘human’ behaviour has shaped cognitive science in several ways 👇

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Out now @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social, w/ @akalt.bsky.social & @drmattdavis.bsky.social. Are sensory sampling rhythms fixed by intrinsically-determined processes, or do they couple to external structure? Here we highlight the incompatibility between these accounts and propose a resolution [1/6]

Thanks to @psypost.bsky.social for writing this piece about our latest paper! Scientists map how alcohol changes bodily sensations www.psypost.org/scientists-m... @micahgallen.com @olivierdesmedt.bsky.social @reinoutwiers.bsky.social #interoception #alcohol #psychopharmacology #psychology #body

Is it true you use only 10 bits / s of your brain? @andpru.bsky.social and I provide a motor systems perspective on a proposed speed limit for human information processing. Out today in @natneuro.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our paper "A fragmented field" has just been accepted at AMPPS. We find it's not just you, psychology is really getting more confusing (construct and measure fragmentation is rising). We updated the preprint with the (substantial) revision, please check it out. osf.io/preprints/ps...

yesterday, my postdoc funding (salary and research funds) was cancelled by the National Science Foundation, effective immediately. I received the same generic, vaguely threatening, typo-ridden email as many of my colleagues who have had their awards terminated recently. (1/n)
