Submit your work until August 15, 2025, and join me!

🧠 One week left to apply for the School of Ideas in Neuroscience! Highly recommended if you’re looking for 1) a stimulating environment to deepen theoretical insight in neuroscience and 2) genuine time to think, exchange ideas, and join in-depth discussions.

Big thank you to my co-authors, the editor and the reviewers.

Congrats to our MBE colleague @agatapatyczek.bsky.social for this well-deserved award! ✨

We’re looking forward to seeing more of Science Streets in the wild soon! 📢

That’s a wrap for the MBE group at #PuG2025!

@martager.bsky.social closed things out with a deep dive into how cardio-respiratory phase biases in voluntary action initiation might shape our sense of agency differently for actions vs. outcomes 🫀🫁🧠

See you next year in Heidelberg!

Hope you’re rested and ready to take the last day of #PuG2025 with our final MBE contribution: @martager.bsky.social presenting her PhD work on how cardio-respiratory fluctuations shape action initiation and sense of agency 🫀🫁🧠

I might be biased, but what an inspiring #VR symposium at #PuG25 🤩
This field still develops so fast 🚀as showcased by the integration of neurophysiology, multi-user settings and clinical application.
Thanks to @martandreatta.bsky.social, @leonkroczek.bsky.social, @michaelgaebler.com and Marius Rubo!

A big round of applause for all the presenters of today’s IGOR Symposium! 👏 what a great representation of open and reproducible science at #PuG2025 📢

And many thanks @ocklenburg.bsky.social and Christina Artemenko for organising!

Day 2 of #PuG2025 was closed off by @michaelgaebler.com, diving into the advances and challenges of increasing the neurocognitive realism of virtual faces, from behavioural to EEG to VR studies 👤🧠👓

We close off the second day of #PuG2025 with a talk by @michaelgaebler.com on enhancing face perception and realism of virtual humans in 3D and VR, across a series of behavioural and EEG studies.

🗓️ Fri, June 20 | 14:30-16:00

How do heartbeat and breathing shape our sense of control over our movements? 🫀🫁 @martager.bsky.social will explore how internal bodily rhythms guide voluntary action initiation and shape the resulting sense of agency.

📆 Sat, June 21 | 09:00-10:30
📍 1.010 Z6

What makes a virtual face feel real - or eerily not? 👤🧠 @michaelgaebler.com will outline new results from EEG & behavioral studies that explore face perception and realism in 2D vs. 3D immersive VR, part of the NEUROHUM & 3DIL projects.
