Rome, June 2026: 1 day left to submit your abstract and award application to THE event of the year in cognitive, affective, social and embodied neuroscience! escan2026.eu check out the cool keynotes, preconferences, social and early career programme and our travel, carer and early career awards

Delighted to share my first paper of 2026 "Interoception and allostatic load after stroke: A scoping review". Available now, open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Writing is thinking Outsourcing the entire task of writing to LLMs will deprive us of the essential creative task of interpreting our findings and generating a deeper theoretical understanding of the world.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 Annual reminder that the book is open access. How do we think of the brain as a deeply interconnected system with highly distributed, non hierarchical processing. Want to learn about the brain from a fresh perspective? #neuroskyence mitpress.mit.edu/978026254460...

I've got a fully-funded PhD studentship open at @birkbeckpsychology.bsky.social, investigating social learning about metacognition & awareness, w/ behavioural studies & neuroimaging (fMRI) - thanks to @leverhulme.ac.uk More details here: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPV831/p... #cogsci #neuroskyence

Delighted to announce a fully funded PhD opportunity working on a new project looking at body image problems in teenage girls. Applications now open! Full details here: www.cairnmillar.org.au/about/career...

My reviewing style has changed over time. Rather than litigate every little thing, and pushing my own ideas, I focus only on 2 things: (1) Are the claims interesting/important? (2) Does the evidence support the claims? Most of my reviews these days are short and focused.

We are recruiting a new PI at the FIL @imagingneuroucl.bsky.social, Associate or Full Professor. This is an amazing place to do cognitive neuroscience, in the heart of London. If you or someone you know might be interested, please pass it on. #neuroskyence www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Game changer!

You're on fire!

Help and advice needed please Bluesky community! We submitted a meta-analysis over a month ago. It's still “with editor.” Three follow-up emails sent. Admin says they’ll chase. Still Nothing.

Skegness, one of your absolute finest people right here. Buy her a drink whenever you see her.

🧵1/ New preprint alert! We just pre-printed a scoping review exploring how stroke disrupts interoception—our sense of the internal body—and its possible effects on allostatic load (the physiological toll of chronic stress). 🧠🫁🫀🧵 Read it here 👉 osf.io/preprints/ps...

🧠💔 New preprint alert! We're excited to share our systematic review and meta-analysis on the relationship between self-reported interoception and depression. 📄 osf.io/abep4 🧵👇 A thread:

I'm beyond thrilled, excited, and delighted to announce being awarded a 3-year Tiny Blue Dot Foundation grant to examine body image in adolescent girls & to develop a VR-based embodiment intervention for body image issues. Expect more info and post-doc and PhD adverts in the coming months 😀

📣 Ever considered applying for a ERC Starting Grant? The 2026 Call for proposals is now open! Application portal 👉 lnkd.in/dcsPAwqJ Information for Applicants 👉 lnkd.in/dsE6B8eE Deadline to apply for #ERCStG is 14 October 2025.

Sometimes authors summarize their responses to 3-6 major points raised by the reviewers in their resub cover letters or at the top of their rebuttal letters. This is so super helpful to editors, because it brings us right up to speed after not having read the paper/reviews for months. THANKS!!

For everyone who is interested in being part of the field, best way to start is the #CPCZurich. translationalneuromodeling.org/cpcourse/

Anyone who teaches, this is a must read @science.org @aaas.org 🧪💙📚 #scicomm www.science.org/content/arti...

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

I am always interested in recruiting people with eating disorders to take part in my research, and if this is you, I have a survey you can complete on body sensations and negative affect. 🧠😵‍💫 See the link below for information and how to take part: sites.google.com/york.ac.uk/l...

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Cool paper in AMPPS of @psychscience.bsky.social "One App to Rule Them All: A One-Stop Calculator and Guide for 95 Effect-Size Variants for Two-Group Comparisons of Central Tendency, Variability, Overlap, Dominance, and Distributional Tails” doi.org/10.1177/2515...

THIS IS WHAT A TRADE WAR LOOKS LIKE -

1/3 New preprint alert! 🚨 doi.org/10.31219/osf... Are you studying interoception in a developmental or parental context? We introduce the Parental Interoception Questionnaire (PIQ), a new tool to assess how parents perceive and respond to their child’s bodily signals.

Get applying for this and come and join us at UCL!

Need to explain (or understand) linear mixed effects regressions, random intercepts, and random slopes? Look no further than "A Visual Introduction to Hierarchical Models" by Michael Freeman, 2017. It's a banger!

This is an example of how nostalgia for the old days is simply nostalgia for when you were younger. The idea that America was a post-racial society in the 1970s/1980s only makes sense if you were literally a child at that time and couldn’t observe what any adult was experiencing.

Please repost this PhD opportunity in my group working on cognitive computational and decision neuroscience.

3.5 year PhD studentship in cognitive computational neuroscience open in my MSN lab, @thechbh.bsky.social, co-supervised with @selmalugtmeijer.bsky.social & @simonlittle.bsky.social. Deadline 23rd March. Only open to UK candidates. More details here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project... Pls repost

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Worth repeating. Do not edit Special Issues in Frontiers! x.com/lakens/statu...

🚨NEW DEADLINE: March 14th (11.59pm CET).

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Excited to see this now out in the world! We identify a computational basis for how persistent underconfidence is maintained in the face of intact performance, finding that it is grounded in impaired updating of global self-beliefs from local metacognition www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/N

What we've lost ☹️. I had a similar undergraduate experience to this author and it was very different from the one my kids have had. I'm sure there have been gains, too, but sometimes it's hard to see what they are www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
