New article on #interoception in The New Yorker by Jessica Wapner, featuring work by Sarah Garfinkel Tim Dalgleish Camilla Nord Lisa Feldman Barrett Karen Quigley Manos Tsakiris and yours truly newyorker.com/science/elemen…

This paper is absolutely cool! They show that “the evolutionary effects on traits have no absolute direction. All that matter is what is beneficial for the organism's survival.” So, “life finds a way!”

📢 Exciting News! Join teamLab and explore interoception, neurophysiological oscillations, and wellbeing. PhD/postdoc positions available this autumn. Passionate about brain-body interactions? ❤️🧠🫁 Contact [email protected] Deadline: PhD 4th Aug, postdoc until filled.

are you "pro life"? no, you're not. you're pro-cruelty and anti-science, anti-medicine, amoral. read this. being anti-abortion is not being "pro-life". it is proudly, disturbingly announcing that you believe women aren't actually people. #istandwithplannedparenthood

[Job alert] A two-year post-doctoral position is open to work on the somatotopic and viscerotopic organization of the primary motor cortex in humans. The project aims at determining where the coupling we discovered between the slow gastric rhythm and the BOLD signal ...

My heart aches for the families who have lost their loved ones in Israel. I'm deeply troubled by the extent of the damage caused by the Israel army in Gaza. I can't bear to watch the suffering. So many innocent lives lost, and the world feels meaningless and empty. #StopTheWar

Bombing a hospital, destroying an entire region, asking >1 million people to relocate while cutting their water, food and electricity. Is this self-defense?

Peace will come as more people like İyad speak out. Every life, no matter where they're born, is valuable. We have to advocate for peace together.

Cardiac #interoception studies using animal models are making advances in our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of heart-brain communication. Here’s my recent editorial summarizing some of these developments: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hxmt,siTgh0…

Our study on (un)consciousness and brain-heart interactions under the processing of auditory irregularities is now accepted and available online in eLife - the journal, with Fede Raimondo, Pauline Perez, Lionel Naccache, Catherine Tallon-Baudry, Jacobo Sitt doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Heart over head? Esra Al Arno Villringer Tilman Stephani Brain Rhythms lab &co study motor excitability & muscle activity across the #CardiacCycle, revealing #heart-brain interactions that suggest time windows optimized for action or #perception #PLOSBiology plos.io/411FFhN

Does your heartbeat affect your movements? 🫀🧠💪Discover the surprising link in our new study published in PLOS Biology: bit.ly/3Nt5KkD

A new study reveals the heartbeat's pivotal role in brain activity. Discoveries show heightened brain excitability during the heart's systolic phase, opening doors for enhanced treatments in depression and stroke recovery. neurosciencenews.com/heartbeat-brai… 1/2

December 5th, 2023, marked a defining moment for me as I defended my dissertation at McGill University's School of Architecture. The rush of emotions—happiness, pride, relief, and a touch of hüzün—still echoes within me. Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way.

Today, one year after the devastating earthquakes in #Turkey and #Syria, members of the Max Planck Society are proud to introduce MAXMINDS, a mentoring initiative aimed at empowering university students affected by the disaster: bit.ly/42wW4LS Max Planck Society
