More to come out of this data set soon!

@raniaimanvirjee.bsky.social now on Bluesky!

British Association for Cognitive Neuroscience Day 2: @afelsenheimer.bsky.social detailing her work on the effect of self touch on anxiety, Rania-Iman on heartbeat evoked potential analysis, and @hannahsavage.bsky.social presenting a novel test for gastric interoception.

And we’re off! Jamie Ward opening @bacn.co.uk #BACN2025 in Edinburgh with prize talk by @engra.me detailing his work and service to the scientific community

Always a pleasure to hear the exciting work in a fast presentation data blitz session. From my lab, @oliwiastecko.bsky.social detailing the unexpected journey replicating prior work on memory & the heart. Find out more in poster #4 at #BACN2025

I’ll be speaking on the (new!) terminology of Functional / Dissociative Seizures today at ILAE’s International Epilepsy Conference.

4:45 Lisbon time.

See if you can find me!

Our new open access paper looking at Migraine and FND, two of the commonest conditions in neurological practice.

Migraine and functional neurological disorder (FND)—a review of comorbidity and potential overlap. academic.oup.com/braincomms/a... 🧵1/

We hope that many neurologists (in particular epileptologists & paediatric neurologists), epilepsy nurses & other healthcare professionals are attending this training. Research has shown that over 20% of those with functional seizures also have epilepsy. 💚🧡

Outstanding learning opportunity! 👀

Highly recommended course to update on the latest advances in #FunctionalSeizures and overlap with #Epilepsy: exploring biological mechanisms, diagnosis & treatments through modern neuroscience 🧠

Organized by @fndsociety.bsky.social with online option available

I've put together a starter pack for the FND science community.

Please repost to share the link and do let me know of folks I've missed so I can add them to the group.

Thanks everyone 🙏
