Fascinating and important. Including the provocative finding “What we believe about our bodily sensing may have little to do with how we actually sense it.” A place where subject report diverges (read the thread). Congrats to this team!!

Sensing your body (‘Interoception’) is everywhere in theories of mental health. But when we tested how well hundreds of people sensed their heart and lungs, the link to symptoms was almost nowhere to be found. 💣 🚨New @natmentalhealth.nature.com paper 🚨🎉 asks why 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

New preprint out now. 🎭 What makes an acted emotion feel believable? We tested whether believability depends on what observers see from the outside, facial movement, and what happens inside the actor’s body, cardiac dynamics during performance. doi.org/10.64898/202...

Actors' Facial Movement Magnitude and Cardiac Dynamics Predict Observers' Emotion Believability Ratings

In non-verbal communication, observers infer emotions from visible facial movements, yet emotional experiences are described in internal bodily terms (e.g., "my heart skipped a beat"). This contrast h...

After an incredible OHBM 2026, we can't wait to welcome the global neuroimaging community to Toronto for #OHBM2027! 🍁 📅 June 26–30, 2027 📍 Metro Toronto Convention Centre Save the date and join us for another year of discovery, collaboration, and innovation.

I'm excited to share our new paper published today in JAMA Psychiatry: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Our first Impact Factor is 3.0 — an important milestone for a new journal. As with most new journals, the first IF is affected by the smaller publication volume in the launch year. Latest citation data are encouraging, and the journal’s IF is set to rise in 2027.

Thanks to everyone who came to our Lunch with Mentors! And thanks especially to all the mentors for volunteering their time! We apologise to all the mentees who we couldn’t accommodate this year, but look forward to seeing you all for next year.

What matters most for childhood brain organization? We analyzed 649 variables. The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers. Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES. In Science today: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Had an absolutely fabulous time at the Gradients workshop in the stunning Château du Fey! Huge thanks to Daniel Margulies for putting together an amazing programme 😍🧠 Now onto OHBM! #gradients2026 @gradientsworkshop.bsky.social

Octopuses change its COLOR and TEXTURE in a fraction of a second using a complex network of pigment-filled cells called chromatophores, structural reflectors, and tiny muscles controlled directly by their highly advanced nervous system! WATCH and you will see how it changes as it moves along!

Really enjoyed giving my DCM for Evoked Responses theory lecture for the first time at this year's SPM Course for M/EEG with @imagingneuroucl.bsky.social! 🧠 And as usual, I'll also be giving my DCM for ERPs Practical Session this afternoon 💪 It's always a pleasure to contribute to the course 🌟

Many of you asked how we create those pretty whole-brain plots with the cortical outline. We just made it available as a Python package: pni-lab.github.io/quickbrain/

This is a new paper testing Bayesian computational mechanisms of improvements in cardiac interoception due to a training program developed by @sarahgarf.bsky.social and colleagues. Led by a very talented grad student @chatrins.bsky.social (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...)

A hierarchical Bayesian model reveals increased precision weighting for afferent cardiac signals, and reduced anxiety, as a function of interoceptive training

Interoceptive interventions offer a promising avenue for improving mental health conditions, which commonly feature bodily or interoceptive symptoms. …
