Found out yesterday that the QR code linking to the Wiki page of my OSF project was no longer working after the update 🥲 A bit of an unexpected hiccup during my poster session, but looking forward to the new, hopefully soon bug-free version of OSF!

TIL that Dale invented the heartbeat counting task, not Schandry, and that it was known from the very first study that people underestimated their heart rate. It was orginally called a heart rate estimation task! journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.2...

What an engaging discussion at our IGOR panel "Have we solved the replication crisis?"🔎 Special thanks to @deevybee.bsky.social @brittawestner.bsky.social A. Hildebrandt & S. Jeung for their insights about the current state and future of Open Science, and to the moderator @gordonfeld.bsky.social

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.

📣 Save the Date! At IGOR, we’re hosting a panel discussion on the current state and future of the replication crisis in biological psychology. Join us! 📆 Friday, Oct 10th 🕙 10:00-11:00 (online)

Interested in the link between cardiovascular and mental health or, in other “words” the ❤️ and 🧠 through brain-body states? A new paper by our speaker and fellow Arno Villringer with @michaelgaebler.com and Vadim Nikulin sheds more light on these interactions: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I attended a workshop with @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social last year and I cannot recommend it enough: if you want to feel more confident in your Git skills, check the openly available materials and - if you have the opportunity - join a workshop 🔥🙌 #OpenScience

Interested in brain-body interactions but unsure where to start? 🎮 Choose your character 👩🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬 Current scientists: a new review by @michaelgaebler.com A. Villringer & V. Nikulin 🧒🏼👧🏾 Future scientists (and people of all ages): our scicomm article with @agatapatyczek.bsky.social & @el-rei.bsky.social

📢Our peer-reviewed article about the AffectTracker is finally out! 😲🕹️📈 Traditional methods for rating emotion often miss the dynamic, moment-to-moment nature of feelings. We designed a tool to capture this continuous affective experience in real-time during dynamic emotional stimulation.

What are you waiting for? 🚀 Register to this year's Young Scientist Retreat #ysr2025 in Hamburg, organized by the @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social JuWis!

Check out our new article for young readers (ages 8-15) on heart-brain interactions and interoception! 🧠🫀 I had so much fun co-writing this with @agatapatyczek.bsky.social @el-rei.bsky.social with the support of @michaelgaebler.com ✍️ 👉 Share it widely with curious young minds Yay for #scicomm ✨

If you're contemplating new study to start, Cause you want to couple the brain to the heart, And you search for clear analytical steps, That give you a good estimation of HEPs. This review uncovered how most people act, When they heart reaction from data extract.

Our next IGOR Hackathon is approaching, join us!

Taking part in the @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social Young Scientist Retreat was one of the highlights of last year! 🫂 Highly recommend saving it on your calendars 📅 #YSR2025

Does #interoception necessarily involve awareness of the inner bodily signals? 1️⃣ Yes 2️⃣️ No 📊 Show results

How does the brain integrate artificial body extensions? Using a custom-built finger-extending exoskeleton, we show that wearable augmentations are quickly integrated into body representation, with proprioceptive space adapting to the device’s structure and function. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
