Interested in the influence of cardiac phase on visual & tactile perception and their neural correlates? Drop by my poster (#638) tomorrow (Friday) between 11:30-13:00 at #FENS2026 to see some fresh results from our collaborative study with @mpicbs.bsky.social 🫀🧠
[1/4] Super happy to have contributed to this marvellous book "The Scientific Study of Consciousness: Experimental and Theoretical Approaches", led and curated by Lucia Melloni and Umberto Olcese! All chapters are now available online: www.horizon-minds.com

Such a pleasure to see the first results by @ege-kingir.bsky.social, stemming from a wonderful collaboration between Dept Neurology @mpicbs.bsky.social & #MelanieWilke ‘s lab @uni-goettingen.de ! 💫 #MBBS2026 #MBB #neuroskyence #MindBrainBody #heartbrain #psychophysics #vision #somatosensation
Michael Gaebler@michaelgaebler.com · 7mo agoSuper exciting to see the fresh-out-the-oven results by @ege-kingir.bsky.social, the winner of last year’s #MindBrainBody Young Scientist Award, comparing #cardiac phase effects for visual and somatosensory perception in the same participants. #MBBS2026 #MBB
Thank you very much for your kind words @michaelgaebler.com ! It was a great pleasure to be able to give back to the annual #MindBrainBody symposium which gave me one of the most special moments of my PhD career last year 😌🥂

Our latest work on respiratory and non-respiratory contributions to the Anticipatory Cardiac Deceleration (ACD) is out! 🫁🫀 As suspected, respiration accounts significantly to the ACD via respiratory HRV, but it seems that it does not fully explain it! [1/2] onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
<em>Psychophysiology</em> | SPR Journal | Wiley Online Library
We present a novel analysis method to quantify task-related, anticipatory cardiac deceleration which takes tonic heart rate oscillations due to respiratory sinus arrhythmia into account. Our results ...

an interesting perspective to show that respiratory phase alignment is not just coincidental or due to the "rhythm" of repeated trials

🎊 Final version is finally out on Consciousness and Cognition as open-access 🎊 doi.org/10.1016/j.co... As a lucky coincidence, this means I also get to celebrate my birthday with the first publication of my PhD 🙂
Ege Kingir@ege-kingir.bsky.social · 2y ago📰 New Pre-Print 📰 [1/9] There is an increasing interest to study spontaneous transitions in the contents of visual consciousness. Here, we test the suitability of a novel no-report binocular rivalry paradigm, originally developed by Hesse & Tsao (2020), to study such transitions.
I'm extremely honoured to receive the Young Scientist Award at the MindBrainBody Symposium this year! 🎊 Big thanks to @mpicbs.bsky.social and everyone involved in the organization!! Already looking forward to share results from my upcoming experiments in the next edition of #MBBS #MBBS25
