Dear #neuroskyence publishers,
I will never be coerced into delivering my unpaid reviewer labour more quickly by a daily 'overdue' reminder bot, ever.
Thank you.

Exciting new puzzle piece; about time someone finally checked for this.
New preprint with Nicolai Wolpert and Catherine Tallon-Baudry !

Reaction times across three distinct perceptual tasks (total N = 90) varied with the electrical rhythm of the stomach.

Perceptual reaction times are coupled to the gastric electrical rhythm https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.18.700150v1

Aperiodic activity reflects pathological waveforms in epilepsy (and not necessarily hyper-excitability or altered E/I-balance). The 1/f slope goes up *or* down as function of waveforms during seizures. New work by Laura Heidiri and Frank van Schalkwijk from the lab: www.jneurosci.org/content/45/5...

Thanks for the reference! I'm 100% with you for oscillations ~ phase; for hit rate and harmonic applications, I'd be curious to compare sensitivity/power between the two approaches. Will run this and report back!

'Robust circular cluster-based statistics

New preprint, and what a way to welcome @teresaberther.bsky.social to the #neuroskyence community. With @eliobalestrieri.bsky.social, she developed CBPT for circular #bodybrain analyses.

Really happy to see an impromptu meeting during a visit by @ualsbombe.bsky.social becoming something real. Grateful to @martinasaltafossi.bsky.social and Laura Bock Paulsen for all the discussions and code testing.

All the code is online - Matlab for now; we're actively working on having a python version shortly:

github.com/teresaberthe...

It has a 'Ten simple rules' section and hopefully provides a starting point for anyone interested in the link between respiration, behaviour, and the brain.

Having spent quite some time figuring out new methods in a young research field, we try to give a few pointers in a step-by-step tutorial: We compare phase extraction methods, test crucial parameter settings, and suggest a pipeline going from raw data to inferential statistics.

So happy this paper is now out in @plosbiology.org! We investigated whether fluctuations in MEPs can be explained by phasic influences from internal bodily rhythms, and whether this might happen independently per organ system.
