Growing up as close friend of Martin’s daughter, I spent countless days at their home — full of curiosity, books, and little discoveries, where you could simply be yourself. It was my introduction to life in science and has meant so much. www.mps.mpg.de/in-memory-of... @mpsgoettingen.bsky.social

📰 SUMMARY OF OUR NEW PRE-PRINT 📰 Anticipatory Cardiac Deceleration (ACD) is a temporary slowing down of the heart during the anticipation of task-relevant events. ACD is typically calculated from the amount of increase in R-R intervals on the ECG signal, which is fair enough...

We are in awe of our community's response -- over 300 people have volunteered to moderate PsyArXiv! We’ve already cleared 13% of the backlog and expect to make even faster progress next week. Thank you for your patience as we work through this, and special thanks to our volunteers! 🎉 #PsychSciSky

Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is when heart rate fluctuates along with the respiratory cycle. Anticipatory cardiac deceleration (ACD) is when heart rate decreases in anticipation of stimulus. RSA and ACD overlap. This study attempted to disentangle them. Nice work!👏

Super pleased to see this heroic effort finally in print!! Many thanks to Hunter, our amazing study participants, and everyone else who made this fantastic study come true.

Could the diversity of findings in heartbeat-evoked response (HER) research be due to variability in methods? In our new preprint my co-first authors, Maria Azanova and @willenjoy.bsky.social, and me systematically reviewed 132 M/EEG HER studies and found:

Out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social now! Kia and I argue that attention research would benefit from a stronger focus on how the brain shifts between external and internal attention. We outline competing hypotheses, review existing behavioral and neural findings, and highlight open questions.

Pulsed taVNS elicits pupil dilation. However, if sham feels as intense, there is not much left. Based on our comparatively large sample (94 participants, single-blind crossover), we show that a highly variable sham response explains this. #neuroskyence 🩺 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
