Podcast episode out 🎙️ I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Serena M. Stagnitto (UniPV) on the podcast Psycho-Myths, addressing the common belief "numbers don't lie". We discussed topics of replicability, research choices, correlation vs. causation, & how to interpret scientific results 🔬 [1/2]
We didn’t receive the (randomly drawn) prize money 💰🤷 but are very grateful for the recognition and congratulate the other shortlisted teams - let’s collectively improve the working conditions in academia! 💪 Thanks @jungeakademie.bsky.social and @volkswagenstiftung.de!
🔬🧠🙌Offen, kreativ, wertschätzend! Mit der @volkswagenstiftung.de vergeben wir die Auszeichnung „Bestes Forschungsumfeld 2026“. In den nächsten Wochen stellen wir die 15 Teams der Shortlist vor. Aus diesen werden am 27. Juni 5 Teams ausgelost, die ein Preisgeld erhalten. 🔗 t1p.de/auhey
Excited about our new preprint discussing how AI 🤖 may responsibly contribute to fair and open biopsychology🧠 Check it out: osf.io/preprints/ps... Thank you for this great team effort🙌 @igor-dgps.bsky.social @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social
Our new preprint "fAIr science — How AI can support a transparent biopsychological research cycle" is out 🚀 AI is rapidly entering biopsychological research, from literature review and study design to data analysis. But can these tools advance open science, or do they risk undermining it? 👇 [1/4]
In this opinion piece, we provide practical recommendations on the strengths and pitfalls of incorporating AI-based tools at each stage of the biopsychological research cycle from an open science perspective 📝 🔗Read the full preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps... [2/4]

We were nominated for the Best Research Environment Award 2026 by @jungeakademie.bsky.social & @volkswagenstiftung.de Grateful and looking forward meeting the other amazing shortlisted teams on June 27th 🤝
🎉 Die Mind-Body-Emotion Group @mbe-lab.bsky.social steht auf der Shortlist für das beste Forschungsumfeld 2026. Die Forschung zu Körper, Gehirn und Psyche findet in einem kollegialen Umfeld statt, das Austausch, Entwicklung und gemeinsames Wachstum fördert. 🔗 www.diejungeakademie.de/de/projekte/...
#PuG2026 comes to an end. One of my highlights was presenting our pilot study using autogenic training to teach voluntary control over interoceptive rhythms, led by @samversc.bsky.social with @niketag.bsky.social @toninfrc.bsky.social @michaelgaebler.com 🧘🫀 #interoception #neuroskyence [1/3]
This year I've volunteered with @penneamiche.bsky.social, an initiative that connects Italian scientists and schools through letter exchanges 💌 From Sep to May, I wrote to a middle school class in Verona, sharing what it's like to be a neuroscientist and to build a research career abroad. [1/3]
The third ongoing project is the perspective paper on using genAI in Biopsychology (led by @annesaulin.bsky.social @ufangyang.bsky.social @michaelgaebler.com @ocklenburg.bsky.social) Also stay tuned soon for the manuscript! 📣
Second day of #PuG2026 for the Mind-Body-Emotion group: you’ll find @michaelgaebler.com at 4pm in room HS 10!
Can we conceptualise brain-body coupling as nested brain-body states that unfold at different timescales? ⌛@michaelgaebler.com will present empirical evidence for this framework (Villringer et al., 2025) at the micro-, meso-, and macro-scale. 🕐 Fri, June 5th | 16:00-17:30 📍 HS 10 #PuG2026 [5/6]
Second day of #PuG2026 for the Mind-Body-Emotion group: you’ll find @flxklotz.bsky.social at 2pm in HS 01!
Can we decode emotional facial expressions from neural signals in immersive 3D setups? 😨😀😠 Dive into this question with @flxklotz.bsky.social, using a combination of #EEG, immersive virtual reality #VR and eye tracking. 🕐 Fri, June 5th | 14:00-15:30 📍 HS 01 #PuG2026 [4/6]
You still have time to visit @c-abele.bsky.social poster on the opposing effects of loneliness and interoception on cardiac reactivity to interpersonal distance during a #VR stop-distance task ✋🫀🕶️ #PuG2026
Do interoceptive body trust and loneliness shape our cardiac orienting responses to interpersonal proximity in naturalistic settings using immersive #VR? Stop by poster 440 by @c-abele.bsky.social to find out more! 🕐 Fri, June 5th | 10:00-12:00 (Poster session 2) 📍 Neue Aula #PuG2026 [6/6]
🎉New paper out today in Nature Reviews Psychology🎉 with @mjdahl.bsky.social, @mariamaly.bsky.social, and @thiasmittner.bsky.social. We've been working on a unified framework for attentional states and the dynamics of transitions between them. 🧵
Brilliant #PuG2026 keynote talk by @micahgallen.com @the-ecg.org about moving toward a causal approach in #interoception research. My notes are now full of interesting articles that I need to catch up on reading! 📖 #neuroskyence
