One of the things I love about the world cub is that it unifies support for players across clubs. Tonight it doesn’t matter if you are Tottenham or Arsenal, we are all backing Djed Spence

Very excited for my paper with @giacomonovembre.bsky.social on spontaneous emergence of #Interpersonal #Physiological #Synchrony (IPS). We show that, even without a structured task, your autonomic bodily signals synchronize with another person just by looking at them! doi.org/10.1111/nyas... 🧵 1/6

Dyads merely looking at each other synchronize autonomic physiology, including heart rate, pupil diameter, breathing rate, and skin conductance. Synchrony in some of these measures co-occurs with syn...

Enjoying this talk about how to inflict maximum tickle. For anyone curious: (1) Touch velocity non-linearly modulates ticklishness, (2) force monotonically increases ticklishness until the touch is perceived as painful, (3) the smallest contact size & (4) longer duration induced more tickle #ESCAN

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. …

Massive study in @nature.com, converges with our past study of 750,000 people (Sea hero quest) to show u-shape curves for the impact of sleep. We studied cognition, here its disease impact: Sleep chart of biological ageing clocks in middle and late life www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share our new paper asking a simple question: Why do mental and metabolic health so often go hand in hand? We (@camillanord.bsky.social @hugofleming.bsky.social) tested whether shared neurocognitive signatures play a role in this relationship www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share our new preprint 📣 with P. Haggard, A. Villringer & @michaelgaebler.com Do internal bodily rhythms (cardiac + respiratory) shape not only when we act, but also our sense of agency (the feeling of control over actions and outcomes)? 🫀🫁 A thread below 🧵 [1/5]

🧠 Focused ultrasound changes emotional processing 🔊 In a new study published in Neuron today, we stimulated the human amygdala using transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) and show it plays a causal role in detecting and resolving emotional ambiguity.

Very happy our first paper using ultrasound stimulation (TUS) to stimulate the human amygdala (BLA) got out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social today! 🎉🥳🔊Great FUN with co-first authors @mirunmigyu.bsky.social @lilweb.bsky.social in @mkflugge.bsky.social 's lab! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
