TIL that Dale invented the heartbeat counting task, not Schandry, and that it was known from the very first study that people underestimated their heart rate. It was orginally called a heart rate estimation task! journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.2...

We definitely agree with Clemens here- hence why we developed a heart *rate* discrimination task!

Baking is pretty fun! These 25% whole grain spelt bøller came out great. 😊

That’s a wrap on #ebps2025! I’ve learned a lot and made some great new colleagues. Couldn’t think of a better way to end the summer than in sunny Almeria! Thanks to all the organizers and attendees - see you in Cork!

although, actually, you mentioned hunger/cravings/etc directly - and those show linear reductions. here is GI symptoms and and interoception examples (pls excuse the rough plots!)

here is a network level plot of just the salience network. Not sure what to make of it yet (could also just be noise!).

tough to say at a network level just yet! this visualization is mostly for fun. zooming into the insula, we see a biphasic response where early treatment decreases inter-hemispheric and posterior to anterior connectivity (vs control V1 region). Still working on the network level analyses.

I think this might be the first ever, in human demonstration of pharmacological effect of semaglutide on gastric rhythm frequency. Strong initial increase followed by habituation?

We also constructed a framework for simulation based power analysis using our generative modelling framework. The fitted models span a range of designs, trial counts, and sample sizes, and are provided with a working Shiny app you can use to perform efficient design analyses!
