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...

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.

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.
