Ahem. Mental imagery (& imagery-critical) researchers should read this: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

A transformation from vision to imagery in the human brain. Intriguing new preprint by Roy & Naselaris et al for anyone interested in mental imagery! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

the tldr of my thread is that, interoceptive sensing at rest has no relationship to mental health symptoms, and we think this is likely because we need to measure interoception during and after arousal, close in time to symptoms, with ecological measures.

🚨Paper now published! 🚨 The Effects of External Cue Overlap and Internal Goals on Selective Memory Retrieval. Grateful for thorough reviews that made it stronger. Out now in #EJN: doi.org/10.1111/ejn..... w @alexamorcom.bsky.social @MattPlummer @ivorsimpson.bsky.social. Updated summary🧵👇

Very proud to share this one🥹! We show that personalized signatures of brain activity are heritable and relate to the expression of specific genes. That means my brain-fingerprint is very similar to my twin brother's! #ResearchIsMeSearch🧠 🧬 ♊️

Always late to the party, but really excited to share this new preprint led by @benjyb.bsky.social where we find an intriguing link between vividness ratings and reaction times!🧠💭

New MEG paper by @jhaarsma.bsky.social and @dotproduct.bsky.social‬! Same design and behavioural results as our 7T layer fMRI study (www.jneurosci.org/content/43/4...), but now shedding light on the temporal dynamics of the sensory signals underlying false percepts. #neuroskyence

I am so excited to share that our paper 'A neural basis for distinguishing imagination from reality' is now published in @cp-neuron.bsky.social! 🧠✨ See thread below! doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Looking forward to presenting my work at the Consciousness Club tomorrow! 😊

@pessoabrain.bsky.social drops knowledge on us. Neuron spiking is highly coordinated. Waves of electric field influences are a great way to do that. The brain is much less like a machine than it is like the murmurations of a flock of starlings aeon.co/essays/how-t... #neuroscience

Paper finally published in JEP General! Individual variability in mental imagery vividness does not predict perceptual interference with imagery: A replication study of Cui et al., 2007: osf.io/preprints/os... A study cited over 500 times couldn't be replicated, even in extreme imagery... a 🧵 1/8

On 15 May, we're organizing a very special hybrid event at the FIL: a Symposium on Setbacks in Science! In a series of talks and discussions with a wonderful set of speakers, we will address the disappointments that are entirely common in research, but that we all hesitate to talk about. (1/3)

With nervous excitement, my most ambitious project yet: Dynamics of mental imagery. We got over 800 people to recreate the contents of their mental imagery with a focus on distinct phenomenological properties. Temporal grain, smoothness, stability. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... a 🧵1/n

🚨 Preprint alert 🚨 After 4 years of work, our new research on the Sense of Reality is finally out! Using Virtual Reality, we investigate our response to Virtual Hallucinations across different reality domains! Discover how our minds and bodies react when reality isn't quite what it seems...

Finally, if you are an academic and want to read the publication, "The impact of aphantasia on mental healthcare experiences" by Mawtus et al, 2024: online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

Yesterday I spent an hour trying to put files in OSF because you can't simply drag an entire folder. For anyone else struggling, there is an R package called osfr that you can use to copy your whole repo into your OSF 🙏🙏🙏

Happy #twinpeaksday to all that celebrate

So excited to start this new chapter as part of @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social's lab 🎉
