New preprint with Nicolai Wolpert and Catherine Tallon-Baudry !

Reaction times across three distinct perceptual tasks (total N = 90) varied with the electrical rhythm of the stomach.

From Body to Brain and Back: Multimodal Evidence for Interoceptive Alterations in Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders When the brain and body misalign, emotional experience and sense of reality can be disrupted. Although such atypical experiences are central to schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD), interoception, p...

How the brain listens to the body matters.
Our new preprint investigates interoceptive processing in schizophrenia spectrum disorders across phenomenology, behavior, and heartbeat-evoked brain responses. 🧠🫀DOI: doi.org/10.64898/202...

The value of consciousness: experiences worth having | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences DC.

This question targets a fundamental shift in nature: while all organi...

My very first paper is finally out in @pnas.org, with Catherine Tallon-Baudry and Patrick Haggard! Interoception, exteroception, the self and more, it's got it all.

Also it should go open access at some point

Imagined movement increases the segregation of brain-heart networks Understanding the mechanisms of motor imagery, the mental simulation of movement without execution, is key for the development of neurotechnologies. For instance, for detecting covert motor intent in ...

More on the link brain-heart axis and sensorimotor function, relevant for BCI research 🤖: Different bodily rhythms are coupled with cortical regions at rest. Here we show that motor imagery triggers a decoupling of cardiac dynamics with motor cortex functional connectivity 🧠🫀 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

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.

Bravooo Tahnée! So excited for you!

After initially being place on the reserve list, my Academy Research Fellowship has now received a positive result from the Research Council of Finland 🥳 Next year I will be starting my own team where we will work on identifying new interoception-based treatment targets for mental health disorders!

Got Butterflies in your Stomach? I am super excited to share the first major study of my postdoc @the-ecg.bsky.social - Now out in @natmentalhealth.nature.com! We report a multidimensional mental health signature of stomach-brain coupling in the largest sample to date www.nature.com/articles/s44...

"Calls for transforming academia have multiplied over the past decade. These include demands for a change in how the university responds to the climate crisis, how it engages with its colonial past &present &how it is governed [with]calls for truly democratic governance" @ferracimo.bsky.social et al

Loved presenting our Brain-Body tutorial🫀🫁🧠 at #ASSC28, great initiative & brilliant talk from @brainandstomach.bsky.social & awesome talks as always from @danlikesbrains.bsky.social & @marieloescher.bsky.social. Looking forward to the rest of the conference!
