Ever wondered if there's a relationship between self-reported interoceptive sensibility and depression? Find the answer here (free and open access). Spoiler: yes - there is! Poorer interoceptive sensibility= increased depression www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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...

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.

🧵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 😀

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!!

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!

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.

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
