In honor of International Left-Handers Day, we have an updated preprint on scanning left-handed participants in fMRI studies. Although they're 11% of the population, we routinely screen LH people out of fMRI studies due to concerns about functional lateralization 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Left Out: The Effect of Handedness on fMRI Activation in Memory Paradigms

About 11% of the population is left-handed, a significant minority of the potential participant pool for functional MRI (fMRI) studies. However, convention in fMRI research dictates these potential pa...

Pleased to announce that our work on the influence of glucose and acute stress on food craving has been accepted for publication in Comprehensive Psychoneuroendocrinology 📃 The paper will be available #OpenAccess soon! Huge shoutout to my former master student Flora Nasilowski who took the lead! 🌻

👋🏼 Welcome to Books & Brains. 📚 On this page, I review stories that feature topics from the field of biopsychology and neuroscience. 🔎 I question the scientific claims within these stories and review the scientific literature to distinguish between what's real science and what's fiction.

A smiling person stands in front of a bookshelf filled with books, holding a model brain in one hand and a stack of novels in the other. Thought bubbles ask: “Are you fascinated by the human brain?”, “Do you love reading?”, and “What is this page about, and who is the person behind it?”. The image introduces a page that combines an interest in neuroscience with a passion for books.Text graphic displayed over a blurred bookshelf background. The text explains that the “Books & Brains” page features novels and short stories that explore topics in biopsychology and neuroscience. It also reviews the scientific claims made in these stories to help readers distinguish between established science and fictional elements.

The Best Way to Determine Pawedness in Dogs

Like handedness in humans, dogs show pawedness. But what is the best way to determine whether a dog is left-pawed or right-pawed?

Breaking the binary: Mixed-handedness and its implications for theoretical and clinical laterality research

For more than a century, handedness has served as a canonical example of functional asymmetry in humans. Traditional perspectives have largely treated handedness as a binary trait, classifying indi...

Honored to be giving a keynote at Psychology and the Brain (PuG) this week in Heidelberg. Since starting the lab in 2019, we’ve had many wonderful collaborations across Germany, and I’m excited to share our work on the computational neuroscience of interoception. See you there! pug2026.org
