New paper from @parkbmb.bsky.social on links between felt presence and psychosis risk. Some surprising associations between individual differences in resilience and aspects of felt presence experiences: karger.com/psp/article/...

Felt-Presence and Psychosis-Risk in the General Population

Abstract. Objective: Felt presence (FP) is the experience that another entity is present in one’s proximal environment, despite no sensory evidence. Occurrence of FP is linked to psychosis-risk, but q...

Our new MEG study is out! Here, we show alterations in both auditory evoked responses and alpha-band connectivity during a passive spatial auditory task in ASD. We also found that functional connectivity is associated with ASD and sensory symptomatology.

The brain attenuates self-touch, but how does this unfold at the neural level before the touch? We used MEG to find out 🧠 👉👈

Motor prediction reduces beta-band power and enhances cerebellar-somatosensory connectivity before self-touch to enable its attenuation

Prevailing theories suggest that the brain uses an internal forward model to predict tactile input during voluntary movements, thereby reducing the intensity of the reafferent tactile sensation, a phe...
