Excited to share our latest publication, out now in @ScienceAdvances: “Thermosensory predictive coding underpins an illusion of pain.” science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…. Read the full thread below for details!

Sensing your body (‘Interoception’) is everywhere in theories of mental health.
But when we tested how well hundreds of people sensed their heart and lungs, the link to symptoms was almost nowhere to be found. 💣
🚨New @NatMentHealth paper 🚨🎉 asks why 🧵

New paper in PNAS! When the mind wanders, it often drifts to the body. We call this "body-wandering". These thoughts are often negative, but are associated with reduced ADHD & depression symptoms, driven by a distinct interoceptive-allostatic brain signature. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

Absolutely loved discussing our recent @NatMentHealth paper on @IhmCurious YouTube channel, thank you for having me! & to @micahgallen @BrainAndStomach & the @visceral_mind team for all their hard work on this project🧠
Open link to the paper: rdcu.be/eyuzu
New study from @visceral_mind finds a surprising link between stomach-brain synchrony and mental health. Congrats @LeahBanellis et al.!
Interview here: youtu.be/dDTvq8eKINI
I'm deeply grateful to everyone who contributed! Especially first-author @EhmsenFischer and co-last author @micahgallen, whose brilliance, dedication, and generosity brought our vision to life in ways far beyond what a single tweet could capture!

I had the pleasure of chatting with the brilliantly insightful Sarah Crespi on the @ScienceMagazine podcast about what it means to experience an illusion of pain based on science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…!

1/ We can measure interoception in many aspects, but can we actually manipulate it? I’m excited to share our new study, which shows that blockade of peripheral beta-adrenergic pathways improves cardiac and respiratory interoception in unique ways! 🧵👇biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Can we enhance interoception by controlling the heart? Thrilled to share our new study, led by @AshleyTyrer, where we use computational modeling to show that blockading peripheral noradrenaline uniquely alters awareness of heart rate & breathing!

What happens when our stream of consciousness turns inward, towards the body? Our new fMRI study of 536 individuals finds that 'body-wandering' is associated with distinct patterns of brain connectivity, physiology, affect, and mental health: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Happy to share our latest publication, out now in @CognitionJourn, where we find that metacognitive self-beliefs are updated in a suprisingly domain-specific manner. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We propose that six main mechanisms of neural #oscillations contribute to multi-timescale neural processing in multisensory (and unisensory) integration:
Amplitude modulation, phase resetting, entrainment, phase-amplitude coupling, phase coupling; envelope coupling
