Stats on #bodybrain #neuroskyence data can become non-trivial pretty quickly: Anything beyond t-tests on 'systole vs diastole' or 'insp vs exp' will include some form of phase binning, so we need adequate surrogates for robust permutation stats. Plus, these are not available for circular data.

Preprint time :)
In this one, led by @asanchezcorzo.bsky.social, we describe respiratory coupling to excitability states across the wake-sleep cycle. If only we could always have hours and hours of data... Great first collab with the lab of @tschreiner.bsky.social at LMU! #Neuroskyence 🧠🟦

Great experience to have visited #waves24 with the entire lab. Looking forward to the next edition, lots of ideas of how to keep oneself busy in the meantime.

We updated our most recent preprint ('Altered Interoceptive Processes as Transdiagnostic Mechanisms Across Affective and Anxiety disorders'), now accepted at the Journal of Affective Disorders:

Led by the great @martinasaltafossi.bsky.social, more info soon!

Our lab handbook v1.0 is finally done!

Incredibly proud and happy to work on all things body-brain coupling with superstars @martinasaltafossi.bsky.social and Teresa Berther. So much fun, so many cool projects coming up. Could not have asked for more amazing people to start a lab around.

Pre-Announcement 2024 “Bidirectional Brain-Body Interactions” - ERA-NET NEURON Transnational Research Projects on Bidirectional Brain-Body Interactions | Official Launch 8th of Jan 2024

Brain-body people in Europe, there's an ERA-NET NEURON pre-call for transnational proposals on bidirectional brain-body interactions in health and disease (open in Jan)! Have a look, spread the word, and let's make things happen!

Research Culture: Why every lab needs a handbook By explaining how a lab works, outlining what is expected of everyone, and describing the culture the lab is aiming for, a good lab handbook will benefit all the members of a research group.

We are currently writing up our lab handbook, which will eventually be made public. As a new PI, I can't stress enough how helpful it is to reflect on who you are as a lab, how you integrate new people, and what you aim for in day-to-day lab life.
Thanks to @elife.bsky.social for the inspiration!
