Sensing your body (‘Interoception’) is everywhere in theories of mental health. But when we tested how well hundreds of people sensed their heart and lungs, the link to symptoms was almost nowhere to be found. 💣 🚨New @natmentalhealth.nature.com paper 🚨🎉 asks why 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Our new study ⬇️inspired by the question: does psilocybin influence meta-learning and cortical processing of unexpected uncertainty? Why is this important? Meta-learning may be critical for therapeutic effects of psychedelics and how the trip creates a window that facilitates clinical intervention

Peep my dude Samuli’s (@kangaslampi.bsky.social) interview on psychedelics and (false) memory recovery by the inimitable Shayla Love (@shaylalove.bsky.social). “…perhaps it’s never too late to have a traumatic childhood if you really go looking for it.” Brilliant!

Do psychedelics create false memories? 5 Questions with psychologist Samuli Kangaslampi

Kangaslampi discusses the need to study autobiographical memories that may emerge during trips.

This is interesting to me because in rollerblading, I tend to see more left vs. right spinners, including myself (see clip below). Left spinners will even do tricks/grinds with their non-dominant foot/feet positioning to avoid spinning to the right, something I rarely see with right spinners.

If you start moving the odds are you'll do it in counterclockwise circles. Believe it or not, it's true. We proved it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Thanks Iñaki Echeverría and the Navarra Granular Lab gang for letting me be a part of this amazing paper!

Was quoted in @theatlantic.com regarding efforts to create new psychedelic drugs. Lol they mention my disdain for the overhyped Hopkins playlist. www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...

Dr. Kristjan Kaup successfully defeated his opps, and then we did the most Estonian celebration ever, sauna (literally at the institute) and a cold plunge in the river. Such a great time. Next stop Amsterdam!

In Tartu, Estonia to be an “opponent” in Kristjan Kaup’s PhD defense. Thanks @jaanaru.bsky.social for bringing me out here. Already digging this place and always love the opportunity to be an opp in academia lol. This photo was taken at ~10:30 PM by the way. Great daylight for a night owl.

Now that it has been out for a week, I thought I’d address a few strange takes regarding our recent mega-analysis on the effects of psychedelics on brain function (specifically, resting-state functional connectivity). 1/15 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

An international mega-analysis of psychedelic drug effects on brain circuit function - Nature Medicine

Analysis of neuroimaging datasets across five major psychedelics revealed a shared brain signature and provides a comprehensive insight into how these drugs reorganize brain architecture.

I'll be giving a talk on psychedelics & memory via Zoom tomorrow. You can register for it here: open-foundation.org/events/onlin...

This paper has been a long time coming. Instead of reanalyzing the same old resting-state fMRI datasets, we combined nearly all datasets around the world. Note that we didn't exactly find indisputable evidence for "default mode network disintegration." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just reviewed my first paper written by AI! Shame on not only the first author but the relatively long list of authors who didn't realize this🤦🏾

The hardest part of science is posing the right question, not answering it.

M. Nolan Gray 🥑@mnolangray.bsky.social · 4mo ago

What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

The boys got something cooking… @hamiltonmorris.bsky.social

Anyone who thought that resting-state somehow provided a privileged baseline rather than a lazy convenience 🤦🏾‍♂️
