Luigi (@luigi_micillo ) truly touched my🫀by citing me in his PhD thesis acknowledgments 🥹 From that conference to now, it’s been a wild journey — and this is just the beginning! Wishing him all the best, both as a researcher and the amazing person he is 🫶🏻 Let’s crush the PhD defense now!

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.

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Thread with our reflections on the matter 👇
Interoceptive Ability is Unrelated to Mental Health Symptoms: Evidence From a Large Scale Multi-Domain Psychophysical Investigation
Interoception-the sensing and perception of the internal viscera-is widely cast as a transdiagnostic mechanism linking brain-body interaction to mental illness. Prevailing models propose that altered ...

We found that:
1️⃣ Motivational contexts shape adaptive cognitive control in 4–7 y/o children
2️⃣ CC adaptation profiles predict everyday behavioral difficulties (parent-reported)
