New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Leonhard H. Drescher, Jan R. Wiersema, et al:
An fMRI examination of the role of the Locus Coeruleus in state regulation in ADHD
doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...
Very interesting sounding paper on the role of the default mode network in visual perception by Ujhelyi, Korda & Zaretskaya. The authors propose that the DMN provides top-down information from memory and semantic knowledge to guide perception. #neuroskyence
Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!"
The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]
Our latest findings: bringing together the core insights so far from our NWO-funded project on "Externally driven internal attention", led by @annavanharmelen.bsky.social: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
I am pleased to announce the Embodied Minds Summit, a two-day gathering on interoception, consciousness, and the future of self-understanding in the age of artificial intelligence. May 2–3, 2026 | Los Angeles

Trainees need to learn how to identify a paper’s major takeaways and integrate them into their understanding. In her essay, @norabradford.bsky.social argues that this skill doesn’t come from outsourcing the work to large language models.

A new paper in Science measured the prevalence of social sycophancy across 11 leading large language models. The model’s responses were nearly 50% more sycophantic than humans’, even when users engaged in unethical, illegal, or harmful behaviors.

📢 New paper out in Imaging Neuroscience!
🧠 We used high-resolution fMRI to examine the #LC the brain's primary noradrenergic nucleus, as a neurobiological substrate of state regulation deficits in #ADHD.
Highlight of the result in the comments!

How do the brain’s event representations change as we gain familiarity with an experience?
Brain regions’ representations can become coarser or finer as events become familiar. Slow-timescale structure predicts memory.
Excited to share this work w/ Narjes Al-Zahli & @chrisbaldassano.bsky.social!
1/8 New preprint alert!
How are signals from the heart encoded in the brain?
What could be the functional implications of cardioception?
We found that neurons in the posterior insular cortex are precisely tuned to heartbeats, and that this cardio-insular coupling supports emotion coding in mice.
Our recent review led by Julie Bugg is out in PB&R. We explore why advance warnings to pay attention often fail to improve proactive cognitive control in conflict tasks. We introduce the TEPID framework to explain this.

This is excellent: “The question is not whether Cofnas should be permitted to hold his views. The question is whether a public research university in Belgium should be lending institutional credibility to those views, funding their dissemination, and providing them the cover of academic legitimacy”
@philippmusfeld.bsky.social , @joschadutli.bsky.social, @koberauer.bsky.social and I wrote up the result of three years of in lab discussions on setting priors in GLMs.
Hope some of you find the proposed workflow and our recommendations helpful!

🚀 New preprint out! With @toninfrc.bsky.social, @michaelgaebler.com & Ł. Okruszek: "Lost in Emotional Space". We introduce emotional bandwidth, a new way to measure how people navigate their emotional landscape in daily life, and link it to depression and loneliness using experience sampling 🧵 1/5
We have to direct attention to both the outside world and our internal thoughts and memories. This process of attentional selection occurs rhythmically, with a shared theta rhythm associated with sampling internal and external information.
Neat work by Cavanah & Fiebelkorn!
Proud to share that Stefan Weinhardt (not on Bluesky) actually won a poster award at #MBBS2026 #MindBrainBody, congrats Stefan!🥳 Keep an eye on his work :)

Very excited to present my poster on the transition dynamics of attention later today at #MindBrainBody #MBBS2026 #MBB And even more excited to see my students presents theirs, addressing different questions raised by this framework (see below) :)

Finally, we introduce the interoceptive flexibility task, capturing dynamical transitions toward interoceptive attention. It is well-established that "regular" attentional transitions carry a performance cost, but this remains open for interoceptive flexibility [3/3]

Following this, we investigate how attentional transitions are shaped by bodily rhythms 🧠🫀🫁 Using behaviour, pupillometry, ECG, and respiration, we uncover the interoceptive and neuromodulatory influences that push and pull attention within this state space [2/3]

Our attention focus regularly shifts between different states: external vs. internal, on- vs. off-task. We integrate them in a novel state space and show distinct dynamical transitions to off-task attention during external vs. internal attention task [1/3]
Hello sunny Berlin 👋☀️
The #MindBrainBody Symposium kicks off today and we’re excited to dive into three days of engaging discussion and new ideas!
Our MBE group is bringing several posters & talks this year: come find us and chat about our research! 💬
