Super interesting study on heart rate synchrony in a real world setting.

New theoretical paper that provides an explanation for the seemingly paradoxical modulation of perception and action with cardiac and respiratory cycles #interoception

** 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)

I was lucky enough to see Radiohead in concert at the weekend. Absolutely amazing - hopefully someday I will get to study these types of social situations.

How do internal bodily rhythms influence #brain activity & motor function? @tahnee-engelen.bsky.social &co show that #cardiac, #respiratory & #gastric rhythms independently modulate motor excitability, revealing distinct #interoceptive profiles across individuals @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4nMtpLT

Excited to share our work making an "allostasis-first" case that brain function is most productively framed in terms of its core regulatory function. We also introduce some new ideas in the context of metabolism and cognitive function in Alzheimer's. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

🫁❤️New preprint out: The social, decoupled self We show effects of interpersonal synchronization of physiological rhythms on intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling: when we sync our breathing, our breathing–heart rhythms decouple, with a perturbed phase-relationship www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New preprint from us showing links between elevated unanticipated startle reactivity (facial behavior & electrodermal activity) and anxiety in dyslexia. Suggests the involvement of very early emotion systems in this population. #neuroskyence #devpsy

very happy to see this out

Using simultaneous recordings of brain activity, heart activity, and muscle activity, it was discovered that the timing of heartbeats and their neural processing were linked to changes in the excitability of the motor system. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... #psychscisky 🧪 🧠🟦 🤖🧠 🧠📟 🧠📈
