Overwhelmed by the collegial support and positive feedback received for our Brain-Body Analysis Special Interest Group (BBSIG) 🥹 thanks to our amazing team making this possible! Want to try out our pipelines for ECG, PPG (and soon respiration)? 🔗 www.bbsig.de #MBBS2026 #MindBrainBody #neuroskyence

Now the long-awaited „special talks“ at the #MindBrainBody Symposium! First, @antocris.bsky.social on body-brain-behavior rhythms, variability, and time (chronos != kairos). #MBBS2026

Me and Sonja are in Berlin for the Mind-Brain-Body Symposium and are presenting preliminary data from our #body - #brain - #behavioral study with #wearable techs Strongly recommend joining this fantastic community! And get in touch if you're interested in hearing more and/or collaborate :)

Presenting preliminary results on multimodal #body - #brain - #behavioral research at the #timing research forum conference, Tokyo #rhythm #neuroscience

Yesterday we offered a workshop at the @timingresforum.bsky.social conference in Tokyo: 'Quantitative measures of #rhythm across disciplines: An overview and hands-on methodological approaches' Thanks friends and colleagues: Marco Gamba, Yannick Jadoul, and Jelle van der Werff

Symposium on multimodal #body-#brain research in #auditory and #speech processing

In this pre-print, we show that lesions in the #cerebellum (CE) impact motor-independent cross-modal #temporal #predictions Co-authors: Franziska Knolle, Erich Schröger, Michael Schwartze, Rich Ivry, Sonja Kotz www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New pre-print: we show that L-Dopa and #DBS targeting the subthalamic nucleus have different effects on E/I balance and on the #neural encoding of #rhythmic auditory stimulation in #Parkinson's disease doi.org/10.1101/2025...

What happens when our stream of consciousness turns inward, towards the body? Our new fMRI study of 536 individuals finds that 'body-wandering' is associated with distinct patterns of brain connectivity, physiology, affect, and mental health: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

1/n We introduce the concept of a #body-#brain (dis) #equilibrium regulating transitions from #health to #pathology @maastrichtu.bsky.social, Sonja Kotz, Anna M. Czepiel NWO (Dutch Research Council): doi:10.61686/HNUXR80789 Link to article: doi.org/10.1016/j.pl...

2 conference days followed by a science dissemination event: #brain #metabolism, #gut #microbiota, #gutbrain axis, #nutrition (and #food supplements), subjective #distorsions of #body / #food (in eating disorders, e.g., #anorexia and #obesity), and methods: #EGG, ingestible smart #pills, #tVNS

1/n The III edition of the #Body-#Brain #Waves conference series is taking place in a few weeks in Maastricht! 27-28th June: conference days (hybrid format) 29th June: free #science #dissemination event #nutrition, #gut-brain axis, gut #microbiota, #cognition

1/n #Speech production in individuals with #Parkinson’s disease (IwPD) is often marked by hypophonia and hypokinetic dysarthria, which affects #voice modulation and articulation, negatively impacting #communication and quality of life. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This looks super useful from an #interoceptive perspective: A systematic review of autonomic dysfunction studies in Parkinson's Disease, from @antocris.bsky.social Alice Pelucchi Michael Schwartze and Sonja Kotz 🧠🫀🫁 #neuroskyence www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6...

1/n Beyond the well-characterized #neuro-anatomical, -functional and -#cognitive changes, 50-70% of individuals with #Parkinson's Disease (PD) exhibit #autonomic #dysfunctions. We performed a systematic #review: shorturl.at/LEjKR

Registration for #Waves finally open! How does #nutrition impact #gut - #brain #health, gut-brain axis, gut #microbiota? Join as a listener or as a speaker: application for talks extended. Reduced prices for researchers in the NL, Italy and teams: www.waves-conference.com/#registrations

A large-scale collaborative consensus piece on predictive processing is now online arxiv.org/abs/2504.09614 impressively orchestrated by @jeromelecoq.bsky.social

Final days to apply for a talk. Registrations open soon Get ready for this focused meeting on #nutrition, #gut, #brain, #cognition and #health in the NL Only 150€ to join us in Maastricht - get in touch to know more! www.waves-conference.com

We show that #aging impacts basic #auditory and #timing processing. Increased cortical #excitability (E/I balance), heightened sensory #sensitivity, but reduced phase-alignment of ongoing delta-band neural oscillatory activity in healthy aging as compared to young adults lnkd.in/dmdhWP3P

We show impaired neural tuning #dynamics to an isochronous #rhythm in #stroke patients: lesions in the #basalganglia and #cerebellum increase variability in event-related response, reduce delta-band phase coherence and stability while synchronizing to temporal regularities doi.org/10.1162/imag...

Join us for the 3rd edition of the ‘Body-Brain Waves’ conference This year, the focus is on the influence of the #gastrointestinal #system on #neurocognitive functions, #health and #wellbeing: research on the #gut #microbiome, #nutrition, and the #gut-brain axis #cognitiveneuroscience and beyond
