Thanks! I did 🫶🏽

Check out the next installment of Contemplation +! We talked to Fadel Zeidan from the Center of Pain Medicine about the intersections between pain management, neuroscience, & #contemplation. Click the link in our bio to read more.

Webinar! Join us Thursday, June 12th Noon EST - Neural & Psychological Mechanisms of #Mindfulness and #Psychedelic Interventions for Pain & Opioid Use Disorders @drericgarland.bsky.social & @fadelzeidan.bsky.social will share new findings #contemplativeresearch #meditation iscrsociety.org/webinars/

Attending #EFIC2025🇫🇷? Interested in interoception and all-things #mind-body? I have the pleasure of presenting with @tanjahechler.bsky.social @fadelzeidan.bsky.social in a session tomorrow afternoon - 2pm in the Auditorium Lumière.

Looking forward to seeing this wonderful pain science community!

We are recruiting individuals who are registered and non-registered organ donors to complete a few surveys. $15 to complete! Scan the flyer !

Abstract portal is open until April 30th for the 2025 International Symposia for Contemplative Research held in Chapel Hill, NC from November 3 - 6, 2025. iscrsociety.org/2025-confere...

Thank you for these updates- what would you say the take home message is here?

Two more weeks before this position closes. We are recruiting a post-doctoral fellow to study the effects and neurobiology of cannabis on chronic pain.

Depressed sensorimotor peak alpha frequency reliably predicts higher pain sensitivity using machine learned models - super elegant (and painful) design by Seminowicz and Co.

The 2025 International Society for Contemplative Research meeting will be held November 3 - 6 in Chapel Hill, NC. Abstract portal opens March 10. More details to come. iscrsociety.org/2025-confere...

We are hiring ! We are recruiting a scientist that is interested in studying the brain mechanisms supporting cannabis-based analgesia. Reach out for more details and please share

I will be presenting work that will serve as an extension of our latest paper where we discovered that females and males engage distinct endogenous systems to reduce pain academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Heading to my first #ACNP2024 ! Will be sharing the stage with @jmoronconcepcion.bsky.social and @marieeikemo.bsky.social on Sunday 4-4:50pm to discuss Mechanisms Supporting Sex Differences in Opioid Use and Pain: From Preclinical to Clinical Studies.

Co-author of said MVPA signatures, @torwager.bsky.social brought to our attention how these findings also demonstrate that placebo reflects neural granularity from other active techniques - countering the notion that placebo has to reflect some shared mechanism with active treatments

Our study enjoyed a large sample size and combined BOLD and ASL fMRI to find that mindfulness meditation reduces pain through distinct MVPA signatures from placebo cream and a not-so-sham mindfulness meditation condition www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S000...

Nice commentary by Luana Colloca on our new paper published in Biological Psychiatry www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S000...

Yes please and thank you

Me too - thanks!
