100% agreed, so important to understand what e.g. slow breathing is actually doing before widely implementing these interventions. Currently a couple of projects in the pipeline looking into the mechanisms of SB beyond HRV and mindfulness, hopefully the funding comes through! 🤞
New perspective paper out now in @plosbiology.org with a few thoughts on #interoception: What it is (or rather is not), how it can inform therapeutic interventions, and where (we think) the field of brain-body #neuroskyence has yet to find more solid ground to build on.

Beyond the buzz: Grounding interoceptive interventions in mechanisms of brain–body coupling
The field of interoception research is growing at a rapid pace. This Perspective highlights why establishing both mechanistic insight and construct validity will be critical prerequisites for developi...

Together with Teresa Berther, @martinasaltafossi.bsky.social, @eliobalestrieri.bsky.social, and @ualsbombe.bsky.social, we have developed a pipeline which uses IAAFT-based respiration time series surrogates to then adapt gold-standard cluster permutation testing for circular (phase-binned) data.

So happy this paper is now out in @plosbiology.org! We investigated whether fluctuations in MEPs can be explained by phasic influences from internal bodily rhythms, and whether this might happen independently per organ system.

How do internal bodily rhythms influence #brain activity & motor function? @tahnee-engelen.bsky.social &co show that #cardiac, #respiratory & #gastric rhythms independently modulate motor excitability, revealing distinct #interoceptive profiles across individuals @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4nMtpLT

Lower survival rate among trainees in labs with highly productive mentors raises important concerns about what we value in academia. Many interesting things to stew over with this paper!

Both tonic and phasic taVNS protocols induce rapid and transient pupil responses.
Surprising how similar the responses actually are in light of previous studies. Great work by Skora, Marzecova, & Jocham (not on bsky yet). #neuroscience #psychology 🩺
