I had a great time at the NSAS on Interoception and Brain Disorders last week, so much exciting science and scientists!

Thank you @sarahgarf.bsky.social‬ and @skhalsa.bsky.social‬ for organizing and for the opportunity to talk about my research as well :)

We have also started testing this ideomotor hypothesis and just finished a six-week autogenic training pilot study, results will hopefully follow soon!

For Berlin people: we need some final (German-speaking) participants for our pilot study on autogenic training, ideomotor theory, and attention (see flyer). If you know anyone or a mailing list/group/..., please let me know. Also feel free to share the flyer! Please RT🙏

Excited to share I was awarded an #MSCA fellowship to work with Matthias Mittner at the Arctic University of Norway❄️🥳

We will map the transition space for attentional states (see abstract), integrating my work on attention switching and Matthias’ modeling expertise on mind wandering.
