Aperiodic activity reflects pathological waveforms in epilepsy (and not necessarily hyper-excitability or altered E/I-balance). The 1/f slope goes up *or* down as function of waveforms during seizures. New work by Laura Heidiri and Frank van Schalkwijk from the lab: www.jneurosci.org/content/45/5...

*13th MindBrainBody Symposium* 📆 Mar 9-11, 2026 🏠 #Berlin & virtual (deadline: Jan 8, 2026) Keynotes: - @ulrikebingel.bsky.social - Karl Friston (online) - @tinalonsdorf.bsky.social - Sonja Kotz - Julian Thayer ...& so much more: prizes, posters, talks, food, drinks, encounters. Let's meet!

Thanks for the warm welcome! Very excited to share this and hope it can be helpful to people in the field

'Robust circular cluster-based statistics for respiration-brain coupling' New preprint, and what a way to welcome @teresaberther.bsky.social to the #neuroskyence community. With @eliobalestrieri.bsky.social, she developed CBPT for circular #bodybrain analyses. Paper: osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵🔽

Come be my colleague! We are looking for an applicant who can strengthen our research profile in computational modelling of cognitive processes and/or computational modelling of social processes. international.au.dk/about/profil...

** Recruiting a postdoc ** We are looking for a postdoc to work on emotion, mental health, and interoception, based in London at @ucl.ac.uk in my lab (Clinical and Affective Neuroscience). Part of a large Wellcome Grant (co-led with the brilliant @camillanord.bsky.social)

📜🎉 Our project on aperiodic neural activity during sleep, led by the wonderful @mosameen.bsky.social, is now published! This project shows how time-resolved measures of aperiodic neural activity track changes of sleep stages + lots of other analyses in iEEG & EEG! www.nature.com/articles/s44...

The field of #interoception research is growing at a rapid pace. Just in time for #SfN25 we've got some exciting new articles on different aspects of brain-body communication #neurosky 🧪 🧵 ⬇️

New perspective paper out now in @plosbiology.org with a few thoughts on #interoception: What it is (or rather is not), how it can inform therapeutic interventions, and where (we think) the field of brain-body #neuroskyence has yet to find more solid ground to build on. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

So happy this paper is now out in @plosbiology.org! We investigated whether fluctuations in MEPs can be explained by phasic influences from internal bodily rhythms, and whether this might happen independently per organ system. #interoception #neuroskyence

We have an exciting 4-year PhD position available @maastrichtu.bsky.social focusing on intracranial EEG recordings to investigate how hippocampal ripples contribute to human memory processing. For more info: tinyurl.com/r5c49zuy (closing date Nov 2nd) Please help spread the word! #neurojobs

1/ To explore or to exploit? I’m excited to share my new preprint with @tobiasuhauser.bsky.social and @micahgallen.com, correlating variations in cortical microstructures with individual differences in exploration-exploitation behaviours, using a gamified task! 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Stats on #bodybrain #neuroskyence data can become non-trivial pretty quickly: Anything beyond t-tests on 'systole vs diastole' or 'insp vs exp' will include some form of phase binning, so we need adequate surrogates for robust permutation stats. Plus, these are not available for circular data.

One of the most exciting challenges in neuroscience today - if you're looking for a PhD or Postdoc position tackling cutting-edge questions, reach out to @sarangnemo.bsky.social!

New position, new social media account. After 5 fantastic years in Tuebingen, I moved to @yale.edu and the @wutsaiyale.bsky.social this summer - which means that I’ll be recruiting PhD students and postdocs. Please help me to spread the word and see current opportunities below 👇

We are advertising for a postdoc with skills in psychophysiological measurement for a project on smell and emotions. Closing date is 30th October. Please spread the word. www.stir.ac.uk/about/work-a...

Two new preprints on multilevel HMMs! Time series data is now pervasive in psychology and new methods are needed to model the dynamics in such data. Hidden Markov Models (HHMs) are powerful models for dynamics in which a system is switching between a number of discrete states.

Our mobile lab is now ready 🚐!

Join our team! We’re looking for volunteers to join our team & help advocate for #mothersinSTEMM. If you're passionate about our mission, can commit 2h/week & have experience with social media and/or writing & editing, get in touch! Let us know 👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #WomenInSTEM

That’s a wrap! Thanks to the speakers @leahbanellis.bsky.social @tschreiner.bsky.social and Anke Karabanov and co-organiser @danlikesbrains.bsky.social for a great symposium 💪

New preprint alert! The uterus expands ~500-fold in pregnancy, yet we know little about how pressures are sensed. Led by @yunxiao-dr.bsky.social, we show PIEZOs are required for contractions and birth in mice, with dual roles of PIEZO1 in muscle and PIEZO2 in neurons www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Brain-body #neuroskyence conferences continue with #ICON2025 this week! Having just arrived from Adriatica Summer School in Pescara, the B³ Lab @bodybrainbehaviour.bsky.social will share their latest work on respiratory and gastric modulation of the brain in health and disease.

If you are looking for a PhD position or know someone who is, seriously consider working with the great @mbaborebelo.bsky.social at Barcelona!

Was passiert, wenn die kontinuierliche Dynamik von Erregung und Hemmung im Gehirn außer Balance gerät? Fokale Epilepsie ist eine neurologische Erkrankung, bei der wir im EEG und MEG eine erhöhte Erregbarkeit des Kortex beobachten - so feuern (zu) viele Neurone zum gleichen Zeitpunkt.

Bisher haben wir uns angeschaut, dass Atmung über verschiedene Mechanismen an Hirnaktivität gekoppelt ist und insbesondere rhythmischer Aktivität (Oszillationen) verschiedene Funktionalitäten zugeschrieben werden. Hier ist ein Aspekt für mein Lab besonders interessant: Kortikale Erregbarkeit.

Wie aber werden jetzt Oszillationen vom Atemrhythmus beeinflusst? Ein Mechanismus, der vor allem aus der Tierliteratur hergeleitet ist, ist in dieser schematischen Abbildung dargestellt: Der Atemrhythmus selbst entsteht im Hirnstamm, in einem Kernbereich namens 'präBötzinger-Komplex' (pBC).

Excited to be taking over the @realscientists.de account for this week - nice chance to post from the road (German only, sorry) about brain-body stuff, #neuroskyence in general, and the fantastic people at Adriatica Summer School in Pescara organized by @teamlabuda.bsky.social #scicomm

Wonderful to see fetal OPM-MEG developing nicely. Congrats to Chiara Capparini for a wonderful talk and her young investigator award! #FITNG2025

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 👇
