In some way, it's trivial: The #brain & the rest of the #body (e.g. the #heart) are coupled. Yet, we spelled it out w/ A. Villringer & V. Nikulin for current scientists (below) w/ @martager.bsky.social @agatapatyczek.bsky.social @el-rei.bsky.social for future scientists bsky.app/profile/mart...

🧠🫀 New from our lab on Frontiers for Young Minds: Ever wondered how the heart and brain communicate? Think the heart as the drummer 🥁 & the brain as the singer 🎤 keeping the body's band in tune! Read here (for ages 8–15): kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2025.1536787/full [1/2]

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Awesome kickstart to today’s @mpicbs.bsky.social Neurology Department retreat! 🚀

We are coming to Psychologie und Gihirn 2024 (PUG) in Hamburg! Come chat with us! See the some teezers in the comments 💬 #PuG2024

Students of psychology, neuroscience, or similar in the Berlin area: we are currently looking for Student Research Assistants to help with all things EEG, fMRI, eye-tracking, and other fun stuff in our lab at MPIB Berlin #neuroscience #neurosykence #PsychSkySci

Reposting this post by @ruben.the100.ci bc I was just reminded of how wasteful the whole peer-review process is. Authors will receive feedback on flaws that need to be fixed & then just move on to the next journal & submit the same manuscript, as if nothing happened. www.the100.ci/2020/06/24/m...

New blog post! "Preregistration: More Promises than Pitfalls," some thoughts inspired by the recent meeting at the Royal Society. I don't find many pitfalls with preregistration itself, but there are plenty of problems with how we talk about it. getsyeducated.substack.com/p/preregistr...

Research prizes are opaque and rife with bias — it’s time to shake them up Awards should be standard-bearers for transparent, robust research that is inclusive, equitable and trustworthy. But that is not what they are right now #womeninscience www.nature.com/articles/d41...

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...
