Excited to share our new findings: transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation leads to increases in locus coeruleus activity, which correlate with changes in salivary alpha amylase in older individuals. #locuscoeruleus www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...
Locus coeruleus fMRI response to transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation is coupled to changes in salivary alpha amylase
Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has shown promise to non-invasively
enhance memory in older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) [1,2].
Evidence suggests this...

Excited to see this out in @natcomms.nature.com today!
This paper builds on the lab's work on self-regulation of arousal through pupil-based biofeedback. We assessed several markers of cortical and cardiac arousal in a pure self-regulation and dual task setting.

We used mixed reality to explore how manipulating multisensory integration leads to dis-ownership from the body and how those experiences relate to trait dissociation

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
