🧠🫀 New from our lab on Frontiers for Young Minds: Ever wondered how the heart and brain communicate? Think the heart as the drummer 🥁 & the brain as the singer 🎤 keeping the body's band in tune! Read here (for ages 8–15): kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2025.1536787/full [1/2]

How lovely!

Bidirectional or integrated state? Some food for thought about brain-body interaction in this concept paper by my supervisors Arno Villringer @michaelgaebler.com and Vadim Nikulin.

Check out the AffectTracker to track your affect! Effectively track your affective processing ;)

Women's health is not just reproductive health! One of many Taboos we discussed at the "My Body, My Brain, My Choices" workshop created by @cogneuroend.bsky.social and hosted by @volkswagenstiftung.de.

Was super fun to write this little piece with @el-rei.bsky.social @martager.bsky.social @michaelgaebler.com Generally, its cool to write for kids and be REVIEWED by kids! Awesome reviews like "this is boring" or "this doesn't make sense" - real, honest and super helpful! Loved it, highly recommend.

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:

🧠 One week left to apply for the School of Ideas in Neuroscience! Highly recommended if you’re looking for 1) a stimulating environment to deepen theoretical insight in neuroscience and 2) genuine time to think, exchange ideas, and join in-depth discussions. Co-organized by @aleksanpi.bsky.social

Today, we had our first run through the composition by Yongbom Lee, for the Interoception concert! Turning bio signals into instruments to make a quintet (violin, harp, heart, respiration and brain signals). 📍Grassi Museum, Leipzig ⏳7th November #scicomm

📰🗞️📢 Science Streets received this wonderful funding from Daimler and Benz Foundation for Innovative Science Communication! We are beyond excited to receive the financial support to make Science Streets a reality! News will continue! #scicomm #comics #neuroscience

🚨 New paper out! Phase confusion: How inconsistent cardiac labeling obscures interoception research 🫀🧠 We unpack methodological incosistencies and propose a way forward with the HEARTS framework. In Biol. Psychol. - Open Access: 🔗 shorturl.at/YJhyn 1st paper of great @angeliacaparco.bsky.social!

I'm very honored and happy to share that our project "Science Streets" received the Science Communication award from the @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social! Together with Laura Mayer, we will officially kick 🦵 off with the preparations! More exciting news about Science Streets will follow soon!

If you're in Leipzig tonight, come visit us at Long Night of Science! Come try out a heart and breath monitor, make some music with your inner signals and play with a live harpist :) along the way learn about how your lungs and heart are connected and some tips on how to train your nervous system!

Study of trust in science in 68 countries finds Australia is the #1 high-income country for trust in science www.nature.com/articles/s41... (only Egypt, India, Kenya, and Nigeria were ahead)

So happy to see such a rich and big repertoire of events at the MPIB for Long Night of Science!

We continued the Neurology retreat with a workshop session "How to do science in the 21st century", co-led by @michaelgaebler.com @martager.bsky.social @aleksanpi.bsky.social @agatapatyczek.bsky.social & Jenny Mutu, inspired by the materials of @anne-urai.bsky.social & @clarekelly.bsky.social

We’re at the Neurology retreat of @mpicbs.bsky.social! This morning, to shuffle things up, our group and our research work is being nicely introduced by the @cogneuroend.bsky.social group 🔬🧠

This morning we started our Neurology retreat with a kickoff talk by @clarekelly.bsky.social on rethinking academia in a time of climate crisis. Many thought-provoking insights that will help us identify some concrete actions to take in our department in the following workshop part 🌍

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

We centralized our open-science contributions in a new "Tools & Software" section on our website; check out - open stimuli (eg. 3D objects) - open data (eg. MindBrainBody) - tools (eg. excite-o-meter, AffectTracker) - analysis scripts - & more www.cbs.mpg.de/departments/... #researchtransparency

Great new work on the link between thoughts and psychological traits! #neuroskyence #psychscisky

Wrapping up the Young Scientist Retreat #YSR2024 with a fun, silly picture! These past 4 days have been filled with learning, laughter, and connection. Already looking forward to the next one! @dgps.bsky.social

With @olegolt.bsky.social & @fraukeb.bsky.social, and a wonderful team of colleagues, we looked into "The utility of explainable A.I. for #MRI analysis"
