Have you ever tried explaining your research with ... a short story?! 🤔

Believe me, it's extremely gratifying to change your perspective and let your creativity run loose. 💙

Then YOU can be a guest author for @scienceandfiction.net! 😱

DM me for more info 😁

Found out yesterday that the QR code linking to the Wiki page of my OSF project was no longer working after the update 🥲

A bit of an unexpected hiccup during my poster session, but looking forward to the new, hopefully soon bug-free version of OSF!

TIL that Dale invented the heartbeat counting task, not Schandry, and that it was known from the very first study that people underestimated their heart rate. It was orginally called a heart rate estimation task! journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.2...

What an engaging discussion at our IGOR panel "Have we solved the replication crisis?"🔎

Special thanks to @deevybee.bsky.social @brittawestner.bsky.social A. Hildebrandt & S. Jeung for their insights about the current state and future of Open Science, and to the moderator @gordonfeld.bsky.social

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.

📣 Save the Date!

At IGOR, we’re hosting a panel discussion on the current state and future of the replication crisis in biological psychology. Join us!

Brain–body states as a link between cardiovascular and mental health Numerous studies in humans have demonstrated a strong link between heart and brain function at different timescales. We conceptualize this functional …

Interested in the link between cardiovascular and mental health or, in other “words” the ❤️ and 🧠 through brain-body states? A new paper by our speaker and fellow Arno Villringer with @michaelgaebler.com and Vadim Nikulin sheds more light on these interactions: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to share, your materials really helped me to understand version control and navigate the (sometimes a bit daunting) Git universe 🤝

I attended a workshop with @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social last year and I cannot recommend it enough: if you want to feel more confident in your Git skills, check the openly available materials and - if you have the opportunity - join a workshop 🔥🙌

📢Our peer-reviewed article about the AffectTracker is finally out! 😲🕹️📈
Traditional methods for rating emotion often miss the dynamic, moment-to-moment nature of feelings. We designed a tool to capture this continuous affective experience in real-time during dynamic emotional stimulation.

True, cannot forget about the kids’ very honest reviews 😅😂

Thanks for the nice words, I’m happy it can become an accessible resource for even more people than the journal’s intended target!
