After years of effort led by @qualiastructure.bsky.social (Nao Tsuchiya and William Wong), Jenny Windt, Katja Valli, Valdas Noreika and @rherzoga.bsky.social, the Dream database is now published in @natcomms.nature.com

As exciting as being in "flow" is researching it! We present a new continuous subjective measure that doesn't interfere with flow to to temporally connect subjective experience with physiological data osf.io/preprints/os...
Thanks to @suragenc.bsky.social , Elif, @marcwittmann.bsky.social &Tzvetan!

New paper from great UK-CH collab! Using our immersive “Real Hand Illusion paradigm”, we showed increased sensitivity to visuo-tactile delays&its influence on body (dis)ownership in individuals with high trait dissociation. A big thank you to @jamoffatt.bsky.social and all co-authors! rdcu.be/ehNAJ

ASSC Sattelite Retreat This post- ASSC 2025  sattelite event will serve as an interdisciplinary workshop retreat to advance research on consciousness, altered states, and computational phenomenology. It will integrate...

Thanks and congratulation to Gianluca and all the other collaborators and a huge thank you to the participants! Many traveled long distances and overcame stigma to share their experiences and participate.

Paper alert: Many people with Body Identity Dysphoria simulate their desired state by binding a limb to reduce stress& align with their identity. We explored whether VR offers a safer alternative and its effects on neural activity & connectivity. authors.elsevier.com/c/1kmKS55vZH...

Wonderful new #TerraX documentary on birth and death!With Norma we used #VirtuaReality to expose Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim to an #OutOfBody -like experience. Painful to watch myself on TV 🙈, but the production was fun. Thanks Luise&the amazing team!

I haven't been here for 10 months - so great to see now many people have joined #bluesky in the meanwhile! will definitively try to come by sooner next time and looking forward to updates, exchanges & discussions!

finally some airy news! We got the wonderful @meikeramon.bsky.social on board and feel ready to grow... for this we would love to get your input - please check out our webpage, fill out the questionAIR linked there, and/or just get in contact. a-i-r.science

thanks to all the participants, all the wonderful collaborators and to the Swiss National Science Foundation!

#FunFact ChatGPT can't draw an amputation without a prosthetic device

New preprint of out! We investigated in people with body integrity dysphoria neural and phenomenological changes after playing a #VR game in a body corresponding to their desired body #amputated. We are very excited about the results, check medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

and one more… 🤩

Another save-the-date suggestion in a great place with wonderful topics, speakers, and food: www.dnisc.unich.it/pagina-adria...

Save the date for one of my favorite little conferences, this time in beautiful Verona! The past years have always been a blast with great speakers, lots of wonderful discussions, and social gatherings 🤩

Wenn schon in die Ferne schweifen... Lust auf solidarisches & bewusstes Reisen? Namibia-Reise organisiert u.a. von meinem Bruder. Check it out: povanhu.com

Highly recommended! Great speakers, great place, great event! 11th MindBrainBody Symposium (MBB) on March 11–13, 2024, in hybrid mode (virtual and in-person in Berlin): www.mindbrainbody.de

A deadline- and eventful time indeed! But may still be worth a shot…?

or apply :-)

"My" W3-professorship in Cognitive Psychology @ University of Konstanz is advertised again. Great university, vibrant collective behaviour cluster, super-nice colleagues& a beautiful lake! Happy to provide more information. stellen.uni-konstanz.de/jobposting/134edab117119d9190591316f37e7ae0455909af0

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!

last days to apply for these phd positions - please share... interdisciplinary project featuring pain, psychedelics, fNIRS & embodied VR

just to break the 232 232 23...flow, here we go

Exactly. I did once when i didn't know better yet - and regretted!

Isn’t it a bit mean to exclude the participants? After all without them there would not be much of the rest 😅

Cool, just clouded me - thanks! #HiSciSky

yes, definitively! also i think comparing neurophenomenology of these states is super interesting (work that i started with maria niedernhuber) - still thinking about how to best get the eeg in the tank

Right? Not as amazing as vipassana but still very interesting (and so easy and quick)

...tracing. :-)

New preprint out! We show how attention to different bodily systems alter neurophysiological and phenomenal aspects of chronic pain in a single patient over a period of 20 days using wearable EEG and a newly developed platform for stimulus presentation and temporal experience doi.org/10.1101/2023...
