Wuertual Reality in Würzburg is starting with some historic photos from what can be considered the cradle of #VR research in Germany

Very much looking forward to the next 3 days!

That's it for #MBBS25.

My mind will need some time to digest all the inspiring input.

Thanks, Anahit, for the organization & all participants for another memorable #MindBrainBody Symposium!

👋 Get home safely & see you in 2026.

Please mark your 📆 calendars: March 9-11, 2026

I have questions.

I had the privilege to experience @suvikarjalainen.bsky.social's impressive PhD completion with all its wonderful festivities & to know @tiinapa.bsky.social & her inspiring research group.

Lessons learned to cultivate our team science: celebrate achievements, ask for help & formulate appreciation.

Dear neurosky & psycho(physio) peeps.

We realized we only have make-shift, individual solutions

*to document data quality* both quantitative (e.g. number of artefacts) & qualitative (e.g. bad/okay/good)

Of course criteria differ but there gotta be standards or guidelines.

Thx for pointers!

Over and out!

Thanks a ton for this low-threshold, well-explained, rapid* solution @luca.run

Wanna follow? See github.com/lucahammer/t...

*For me, it took ~24h to receive the data export from X but there's the option "Tweet deletion without data export" for small accounts like mine (<10k posts)

Interesting!

Geographical distribution of SPR members.

Jaime Vila and SPR's president Julian Thayer emphasize the absence of #psychophysiology researchers in #Africa that are SPR members.

Informative history by Jaime Vila of @therealspr.bsky.social & its annual meetings since its foundation in 1960, focusing on the society's attempts to foster diversity in the president's symposium on diversity, equity, & representation in SPR.

Here are the 8 meeting venues outside of North America.

Welcome, new followers!

I'm researching the physiology of the #mind - mainly #emotions - in the #brain & the rest of the #body - mainly the #heart.

Besides classical #neuroimaging & #psychophysiological methods we use immersive #virtualreality for naturalistic neuroscience.

💎 hidden gem 💎

I wanted to confirm that patient "tan" / Leborgne did also swear and found the likely source of my vague memory: The comment section of a 2013 entry in
@vaughanbell.bsky.social's Mindhacks blog, where he's discussing with Bradley Voytek.

This looks like a landmark paper for interoception / brain-body coupling and its role for affective phenomena like moods and emotions.

Congrats and very much looking forward to reading it!
