🚨New preprint What happens to your 🫀 when a different sound or a silence is played when hearing your heartbeat ? It slows down! But why? This is what we investigated! Please read our new preprint to find out & this thread for discovering our key results👇. 1/8 doi.org/10.64898/202...

Our lab participates at @assc2026.bsky.social!

Our scientifically accessible book chapter "Spontaneous Thoughts and Experiences across Wakefulness and Sleep" is now available. Wonderfully led by @parboulakis.bsky.social, w/ @jdsitt.bsky.social and @thomasandrillon.bsky.social. Edited by #LuciaMelloni and #UmbertoOlcese👇👇👇

Blank, and you might miss it. Our chapter, “Spontaneous Thoughts and Experiences across Wakefulness and Sleep,” for the upcoming book The Scientific Study of Consciousness: Experimental & Theoretical Approaches, is now available at www.horizon-minds.com.

Check our new preprint on how often we report #MindBlanking and how many participants we should include in our experience samplings to achieve high statistical power. Wonderfully led by @parboulakis.bsky.social

🚨Preprint alert🚨. Ever wondered how often people blank? Then check our new paper “How often do we blank? A systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis of mind blanking report rates during experience-sampling” (osf.io/preprints/ps...). A 🧵 thread ...

In our lab we are passing our lights from one to the other, so we stay aware that this is indeed a marathon, and that it requires responsibility and team effort to deliver our students until the title. Now the torch is passed on to @agusaragon.bsky.social until she makes it. Suerte, Agus!💪

📢 We are hiring! Looking for a postdoc researcher with experience with MREG signals. HOW TO APPLY: Send the following to a.demertzi@uliege.be by 29 May including “PHYCOG-01” in the subject line: - 1 page motivation letter - CV in English (max 2 pages) - 2 recommendation letters More info👇

Acquisition day, launching EEG-fMRI to try predict Mind Blanking episodes from brain activity alone. With @agusaragon.bsky.social on the wheel.

🎉 Very pleased to have Marion Balla in our team, who passed the FRIA competition and secured four years for her PhD project👏

One of the Audacious Medical Grant-Neuro this year was awarded to @ademertzi.bsky.social for the project "Mind blanking is linked to the biological mechanism of glymphatic clearance". Stay tuned for job openings!

Work and fun are in our mindset. #potaulait #liege #scieceontherocks

Our view about Open Science

🧪 Our new study on decoding #MindBlanking events started yesterday. The pilot was successful, and we now fine-tune the details. Led by @agusaragon.bsky.social, with the precious assistance of #NikosSimos and @b-marion.bsky.social

Our lab participated at the meeting of the #BelgianSocietyofNeuroscience last Monday, which was a blast. Thank you for bringing us to Leuven this year. W/ @parboulakis.bsky.social @agusaragon.bsky.social @b-marion.bsky.social @ademertzi.bsky.social

🚨Preprint alert: Our work “Distinct cortical profiles underlie the common reportability of thought-free experiences”, led by @parboulakis.bsky.social is available online: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... A thread 👇
