Somnosphere at #ConfMusSleep ✨ Somnosphere’s an immersive audiovisual installation transforming sleep into a shared space. Two distant sleepers form a closed loop by listening to each other’s sonified brain data, while visitors experience this exchange in realtime through responsive sound & visuals.

Hvis nogen går rundt på barsel i Hinnerup og omegn og gerne vil vide mere om musik og hjerneforskning, er det muligt på onsdag d. 25. marts. Der holder jeg oplæg om musik og hjerne med fokus på musikaliteten i samspillet mellem forældre og spædbørn. www.kirkenihinnerup.dk/aktiviteter/...

Out now in @commsbio.nature.com! We studied brain-heart interactions during mind wandering and mind blanking. Mind blanking is associated with a greater heart/brain decoupling, complicating the idea of an attentional switch between external & internal environments! 🧠🔄🫀🧪
