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...

@parkbmb.bsky.social Our paper 'Felt Presence and Psychosis Risk in the General Population' is available, open-access in Psychopathology! In this survey, distress during FP predicted high psychosis-risk, resilience was linked with FP frequency & vividness. Read more: karger.com/psp/article/...

What if many psychiatric disorders share the same hidden glitch in how the brain infers reality? In a new volume, Al Powers and I gather experts to examine how disrupted sensory inference across #vision, #touch, #proprioception and #interoception might unify our understanding.

Always a pleasure to hear the exciting work in a fast presentation data blitz session. From my lab, @oliwiastecko.bsky.social detailing the unexpected journey replicating prior work on memory & the heart. Find out more in poster #4 at #BACN2025

Autonomic modulations to cardiac dynamics in response to affective touch: Differences between social touch and self-touch The autonomic nervous system plays a vital role in self-regulation and responding to environmental demands. Autonomic dynamics have been hypothesized to be involved in perceptual awareness and establi...

Gentle, slow stroke touch significantly moves the heart by lowering rate and increasing rhythmicity. This effect is much stronger when someone else touches us, compared to self-touch.

Bodily Self-Dysfunction in Psychosis: Altered Neural and Spinal Response to Self-produced Sensations Psychosis is often characterized by disturbances in the sense of self, with patients frequently misattributing self-produced sensations to external sources. While somatic hallucinations and mispercept...

New preprint! ⬇️🤩

We find a reduced self-other distinction in psychosis 😶‍🌫️, including increased neural activity during self-touch 🧠, reduced latency differences already at the *spinal cord* level 😲, and diminished interoceptive accuracy 🫀.

NIH Investigator Meeting for Interoception Research Join researchers to discuss recent scientific advances on interoception research.

Hello interoception community, given the desultory mood elsewhere I thought I'd hop over here to be a part of this community as well.

There are a lot of interesting things happening, not the least of which is this NIH interoception meeting on Nov 11th: www.nccih.nih.gov/news/events/... 🧠🫀 🧠🩺
