Our new paper 'Active tactile discrimination is coupled with & modulated by the cardiac cycle' is out in @eLife:bit.ly/3MvxiDS. We show that people reduce cardiac effects on perception by actively adapting the gain of sense data to their bodily cycles. w/@JamesKilner🧵⬇️

Nice catch up in Barcelona with the Iaslab: visiting labs for digital art, plus talking about interoception & active sensing —w the mastermind @Albert_DATA 🤖👨💻
Very proud of our colleague Marcos Nadal and @mskov01. Their new paper in @NatRevPsych ✨ 👇

Convocatoria de plazas PDI en @UAM_Madrid: 4 plazas de PAD 6 de Profesor Asociado 8 de Profesor Asociado a las ciencias de la Salud Gracias a todas las personas que nos hacen llegar estas convocatorias. Son un pequeño grano de arena contra la endogamia. uam.es/uam/pdi/acceso…
I would be grateful for the retweets. Open PhD position in my group to look at using cognitive computational Neuro approaches to understand motivation.
Funded PhD (UK students only). Interested in a PhD working in @MSNlab, co-supervised by @froemero1? Topic is flexible around themes of motivation and decision-making, using techniques such as computational modelling, brain imaging, or brain stimulation. tinyurl.com/543ucffd
New work reveals the impact of anxiety & depression on PhD students. "Anxiety and depression can have a substantially detrimental impact on graduate students’ experiences [..] and likely also contribute to increased time to degree and student attrition." nature.com/articles/s4158…
Did you miss the #BRNet seminar last year? Watch the recording now! We run 3 online seminars a year, watch this space for updates 🧠
Lecture on multisensory perception of body ownership by Henrik Ehrsson December 12, 2023 for the @bodyrepnetwork community: ehrssonlab.se/videos/Ehrsson…
'Phase confusion: how inconsistent cardiac labelling obscures interoception research' *We've now updated this preprint with more detailed info on methods. *It's now sent for review. ➡️osf.io/preprints/psya… ✨Thanks to @angeliacaparco & @whoisgenaro!
Have you noticed that 'systole and diastole' in one study often don't align with the same ECG phases in another, like systole in study X being called diastole in study Y?🫀🧠 That’s confusing! Check the 🧵 below & our new preprint tackling this issue: bit.ly/4dvNEIC
Final call for this postdoc job in my lab @bbkpsychology! We’re looking for a cognitive neuroscientist to join a four-year project, investigating how we learn from other people about the uncertainty in our own minds 🧠 💭 Any Qs feel free to email 📧 Deadline 25th Nov
📣🧠📣 I’m hiring !! 📣🧠📣 We’re looking for a postdoc to join The Uncertainty Lab @bbkpsychology. You’ll lead fMRI work on a new project funded by @LeverhulmeTrust - studying how communication with others alters private metacognition of our own minds. cis7.bbk.ac.uk/vacancy/postdo…
(1/5) Very excited to announce the publication of Bayesian Models of Cognition: Reverse Engineering the Mind. More than a decade in the making, it's a big (600+ pages) beautiful book covering both the basics and recent work: mitpress.mit.edu/9780262049412/…
I am looking for a Post-Doctoral Researcher (2 to 3 year contract) interested in object recognition, and in exploring object shape, texture, material, and/or object-related action, using fMRI decoding and multivariate approaches. Send me an email [email protected]

🚨 New preprint 🚨 Are climate scientists less trusted than scientists in general? 🤔🌍 Yes, we find evidence of a significant trust gap between climate scientists and scientists in general. 👇🧵 osf.io/preprints/osf/…
Thrilled to see this study officially published in @eLife. Link here: elifesciences.org/articles/92820 and 🧵 below. Huge thanks to Dr. Emily Adamic @EmilyAdamic, believe it or not, this study was a small part of her overall PhD thesis!
Interoception relies upon the bidirectional trafficking of brain-body signals. But where in the brain do these two information streams meet? Our latest study localized this interaction for cardiorespiratory sensation and examined how it might differ across psychiatric disorders
