Get to know New fellow @andreaeyleen.bsky.social from the MPI for Psycholinguistics. In a recent paper (Weissbart & Martin, 2024, Nature Communications), she shows that the brain doesn’t just rely on word statistics or grammatical rules, but it uses both. Very excited to have her in our program! 🧠🧠🧠

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...

📢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.
