Perception of affective stroking is influenced by observing yourself being touched - and these processes differ from non-affective tapping: visual modulation of pleasantness correlates with processing differences between stroking and tapping in frontal clusters.

Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Two significant frontal clusters for the double-difference addressing interactions between tactile conditions (stroking vs. tapping) and visual information type are shown. A topographic map plots the average correlation coefficient for the cluster time-window with significant frontal sensors highlighted as white dots. Cluster 1, 1.356-1.428 s at three right frontal sensors; Cluster 2, 1.804-1.948 s at two right frontal sensors

I always find it funny of 2 busses are arriving within 4 minutes of each other at a full bus stop, everyone gets on the 1st bus. I always wait for the 2nd one, which is 99% of the time practically empty. Guaranteed to have an open seat and no one sits next to me.

Gotta learn to play the system!

I'm so sorry to share that Friedemann Pulvermüller, brilliant neuroscientist, has passed. He gave Embodiment ideas legs and worked tirelessly on treatments for stroke victims during his storied career. His kindness and wry humor made him sparkle.

Friday hit hard today. A singular meeting and answering/writing emails that I have been avoiding all week.

And look! It's already lunchtime. But I have yet to write the emails that I need to send.
