My clinical trial, PGD-psi: psilocybin for prolonged grief, is live 🤩!
First screening done, several more booked.
The first EU-funded psychedelics study btw 😊

I'm incredibly grateful to receive funding from
the ERC to investigate self-related processes during grief and to study whether psilocybin could be a novel treatment for those who need support with integrating their loss experiences. 💛🧠🍄💛

Neural sensitivity to the heartbeat is modulated by fluctuations in affective arousal during spontaneous thought
Neural sensitivity to the heartbeat is modulated by fluctuations in affective arousal during spontaneous thought
Spontaneous thoughts, occupying much of one’s awake time in daily life, are often colored by emotional qualities. While spontaneous thoughts have been associated with various neural correlates, the re...

You’re now breathing manually 🌬️
What underlies this ability to be consciously aware of own breathing?
In our new Journal of Neuroscience paper, we report the largest study to date linking brain microstructure to respiratory interoception.

Microstructural Brain Correlates of Inter-individual Differences in Respiratory Interoception
Interoception, the perception and integration of physiological signals, is a fundamental aspect of self-awareness and homeostasis. While previous work has explored interoceptive processing in the card...

Case study: Brain–Body Biofeedback Platform
How can we capture the complexity of brain–body interaction during natural tasks?
Together with @maastrichtu.bsky.social ,we developed a mobile system for synchronized EEG, ECG, voice & event markers — real-time, modular, and research-ready.

Very interesting case. Hope this is indeed a framework for future translation of cog-neuro into clinical improvements
I still get chills

Contest winner Denise Cadete said her concept featured an “ambiguos silhouette framed like a picture, as an abstraction of representation itself, with the physical body and it’s representation”
