Over the course of a dynamic week, you’ll examine time perception through psychology, neuroscience, and state-of-the-art technologies. Gain hands-on experience with real research tools such as EEG, psychophysiological measures , eye-tracking, and non-invasive brain stimulation.
We are happy to announce that we will host the 2nd #TimingResearchForum @timingresforum.bsky.social Summer School "Sensing Time" at @unipd.bsky.social from 6-10 July 2026.
Registration are open until March 15 2026!

Can't wait to test it!
This is coming along very nicely. Fascinating hemispheric and areal differences in response to high and low frequency heart rate variability. My favorite brain region, at long last!

Happy to announce that my proposal on #adolescent #interoception and #digitalhealth has been shortlisted to enter stage 2 of the grant review process! 🫀🧠📱
Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻
@mqmentalhealth.bsky.social
📢 New paper!
Just published in @elsevierconnect.bsky.social #Cortex 🧠
⏱️This study compares the EEG signatures of explicit and implicit timing, revealing largely overlapping neural dynamics and a key role of expectation and motor preparation

Led by Antonio Maffei this research shows that social proximity buffers stress-related startle inhibition 🔊, regulating threat vigilance during public speaking 👥🎤 Enjoy the read!

Paper submitted! A very special piece led by @fiorelladpc.bsky.social in which we finally write down what we really think is going on with interoception and emotion. Stay tuned!
🧠🫀 Glad to see my proposal on adolescents’ #interoception recognised with a #SealofExcellence
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without my supervisory team @micahgallen.com Gioia Bottesi @skhalsa.bsky.social Let’s try again next year! 💪 link.europa.eu/tPVTWM
Thrilled to share some news! 🎉📷 Don't miss my #poster tomorrow. I could not be at the conference for unforeseen circumstances but feel free to email me with all your questions! - via #Whova Event Platform

“Added value” 🙄
Luigi (@luigi_micillo ) truly touched my🫀by citing me in his PhD thesis acknowledgments 🥹 From that conference to now, it’s been a wild journey — and this is just the beginning! Wishing him all the best, both as a researcher and the amazing person he is 🫶🏻 Let’s crush the PhD defense now!
What if many psychiatric disorders share the same hidden glitch in how the brain infers reality? In a new volume, Al Powers and I gather experts to examine how disrupted sensory inference across #vision, #touch, #proprioception and #interoception might unify our understanding.

I’m really grateful to my supervisory team @skhalsa.bsky.social @micahgallen.com & Gioia Bottesi for the precious support throughout and for helping me refine my insights for the proposal, let’s keep fingers crossed! 🤞🏻
#MSCAActions
#MSCAPF call closed and number of applications is huuuge this year😱
I’m happy with my proposal and, as Sahib Khalsa said “every grant submission it’s worth celebrating the opportunity to articulate the best version of your science”

Take-home message: promoting self-regulation capacity + active lifestyles may help students resist unhealthy temptations and maintain balanced nutrition.
But here’s the twist: higher HRV and regular physical activity were linked to less junk food and more fruit/veg intake 🌿✨
Unhealthy foods triggered stronger pleasantness, arousal, and craving compared to healthy options 🍔🍩 > 🥦🐟
🧠🍎 New study alert!
Among female university students, emotional reactivity and self-regulation (measured via heart rate variability, HRV) play a key role in shaping food choices.

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Thread with our reflections on the matter 👇
More news on interoception and time perception!
🧵5/5 These findings highlight the distinct roles of cardiac interoception and activity in explicit and implicit timing, emphasizing their nuanced contributions to time perception.
🧵4/n Better interoceptive accuracy sped up responses in the implicit foreperiod task. Higher interoceptive confidence led to worse performance in time bisection. Cardiac vagal tone influenced self-paced tapping in explicit timing tasks.
🧵3/n In Study 1, participants (N = 31, M = 23.1 years, SD = 3.23) completed an implicit timing task (foreperiod) and an explicit timing task (time bisection). In Study 2, participants (N = 51, M = 22.6 years, SD = 1.52) performed an explicit timing task (self-paced finger-tapping).
🧵2/n Interoceptive accuracy was assessed using a HCT. Interoceptive sensibility was measured using the Body Perception Questionnaire and subjective confidence ratings (0–9 scale) provided during the HCT. Resting HRV served as an index of cardiac vagal control.
🧵1/n We examined how cardiac and interoceptive signals shape time perception. Implicit and explicit timing were tested via foreperiod, bisection, and tapping tasks.
