Or worse: Here's what I would do if I had this data. I refer to points #4 and #5 in Principles for Proper Peer Review:
4. Don’t write the paper for the authors
5. Respect the authors’ time and effort

The latest version of this preprint "Bodily Rhythms Gate Action–Perception Coupling" that addresses the coupling between action, perception and interoception. Thanks @alexgalvezpol.bsky.social @micahgallen.com Lucas Naranjo for a very interesting collaboration on this topic osf.io/preprints/ps...
Why are tactile sensations suppressed during movements? In our new preprint, we explain this as optimal integration of sensory signals with an internal model.
Work led by @fatatai.bsky.social with Dimitris Voudouris, Katja Fiehler and @c-rothkopf.bsky.social

Happy to see this collaboration out - fun project led by Lorena Desdentado, Olga Pollatos, and colleagues using our heart rate discrimination task. "Cardiac interoception in action: Modulation after a stress induction with a speech task" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #neuroskyence
My wife, artist Tamar Payne, was on BBC6 music's Desert Island Disco today talking about her forthcoming residency in the Arctic. It is here from 2:06:32. You can follow her work on insta here www.instagram.com/tamarpaynest... and also her website www.tamarpayne.com

Pleased to share this newly co-authored expert opinion on the Polyvagal Theory (PVT): www.clinicalneuropsychiatry.org/download/why...
Excellent background to current UK R&D funding turbulence.
What is the brain for? Active inference is widely discussed as a unifying framework for understanding brain function, yet its empirical status remains debated. Our review identifies core predictions across the action-perception cycle and evaluates their empirical support: osf.io/preprints/ps...
main goal for this year: find a new job! 🙂
looking for a role with fun & complex technical challenges & within a great community. my main expertise is in signal processing/EEG/MEG, but topic-wise I am quite flexible.
science/industry both great! starting mid-year. nschawor.github.io/cv
It took several late night/early morning meetings, but I’m very happy to see this perspective piece on #Autistic #interoception published. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
@alexgalvezpol.bsky.social you might be interested in this
Super interesting study on heart rate synchrony in a real world setting.
New theoretical paper that provides an explanation for the seemingly paradoxical modulation of perception and action with cardiac and respiratory cycles #interoception
Yes I think this is really interesting. Would be interesting to see if people can perceive this in speech
How was it?
I think they change the setlist a bit night to night. So I would be surprised if it was the same on Tuesday. It was totally amazing and you will not be dissappointed
I went on Saturday! it is amazing
** Recruiting a postdoc ** We are looking for a postdoc to work on emotion, mental health, and interoception, based in London at @ucl.ac.uk in my lab (Clinical and Affective Neuroscience). Part of a large Wellcome Grant (co-led with the brilliant @camillanord.bsky.social)
I was lucky enough to see Radiohead in concert at the weekend. Absolutely amazing - hopefully someday I will get to study these types of social situations.
Top: Experimental set up. Single pulses of TMS were applied to the hand area of the right primary motor cortex with an inter-pulse interval randomized between 6 and 10 s. Simultaneously, the neuronavigated coil position (yellow), electrocardiogram (red), respiratory signal (blue), electrogastrogram (green), and electromyography from the left hand (gray) were recorded. The figure shows traces of a 20-s time segment from one participant of the cardiac (raw), respiratory (filtered), gastric (filtered), and EMG (raw) signals. The experimental measure was the Motor Evoked Potential amplitude measured on a hand muscle (first dorsal interosseous), analyzed against the phase of the cardiac, respiratory, and gastric rhythms. Note that the three rhythms have very different periods (~1 s for the heart, ~ 5 s for respiration, and ~20 s for the gastric rhythm). Bottom: Artwork illustrating how rhythms of the internal organs interact with the moment-to-moment fluctuations observed in corticospinal motor excitability. Image depicts an outline of a brain with representations of the three rhythmic organs influencing the motor system: the heart, lungs, and stomach. Image credit: Tahnée Engelen.
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
Always happy to give a date-lite theoretically heavy 45 minute talk :)
This looks incredibly interesting
Excited to share our work making an "allostasis-first" case that brain function is most productively framed in terms of its core regulatory function. We also introduce some new ideas in the context of metabolism and cognitive function in Alzheimer's.

🫁❤️New preprint out: The social, decoupled self
We show effects of interpersonal synchronization of physiological rhythms on intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling: when we sync our breathing, our breathing–heart rhythms decouple, with a perturbed phase-relationship

Love it! I am happy that you have got this up and running. I am afraid the London van has been stuck in a UCL car park for the last couple of years!
