At #ICON? – Join us tomorrow to hear about novel measurement & manipulation approaches for neuromodulatory systems! 🗓️Sept 19, 🕚11:45 am 🏫Room Sé #ICON2025 #CogNeuro #AcademicSky #LocusCoeruleus #neuroskyence

Excited to share our new findings: transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation leads to increases in locus coeruleus activity, which correlate with changes in salivary alpha amylase in older individuals. #locuscoeruleus www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...

Locus coeruleus fMRI response to transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation is coupled to changes in salivary alpha amylase

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has shown promise to non-invasively enhance memory in older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) [1,2]. Evidence suggests this...

www.nature.com/articles/s41... Excited to see this out in @natcomms.nature.com today! This paper builds on the lab's work on self-regulation of arousal through pupil-based biofeedback. We assessed several markers of cortical and cardiac arousal in a pure self-regulation and dual task setting.

Weijs, Missura, Potok et al. showed in this study with brain stimulation and electrophysiological methods that self-regulation of pupil size via pupil-based biofeedback modulates cortical excitability...

Really pleased that this paper from my PhD has been published in Nature Scientific Reports! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We used mixed reality to explore how manipulating multisensory integration leads to dis-ownership from the body and how those experiences relate to trait dissociation

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

Next up is a starter pack for neurobiology of stress researchers. Again I know I’m missing people so let me know if you want to be added to the list! #neuroscience #neuroskyence 🧪🧠 go.bsky.app/Gmy2T32

Some resources i've curated for the cognitive and computational neuroscience communities on bluesky! First, a twin set of starter packs. go.bsky.app/2n84SRM

First post here! 👀🧠🫀 With my wonderful colleagues we showed that self-regulation of pupil size through pupil-based biofeedback modulates various markers of cortical excitability and arousal. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #neuroskyence #eeg #neuroscience

Pupil self-regulation modulates markers of cortical excitability and cortical arousal

The brain’s arousal state (i.e., central arousal) is regulated by multiple neuromodulatory nuclei in the brainstem and significantly influences high-level cognitive processes. By exploiting the mechan...
