Information about the orientation of stimuli presented around the time of saccadic eye movements oscillates at alpha frequencies, consistent with the notion that perceptual history is preserved by oscillatory mechanisms creating a “perceptual echo”. nature.com/articles/s4427…

Our brains use prediction in two seemingly contradictory ways. Our latest paper, just published in @natureneuro, shows how expectations both bias and sharpen perception at the same time. 1/n nature.com/articles/s4159…

Is interoceptive sensing unified across internal organs? 🫀🫁 Our high-powered psychophysical study (N=241) suggests not, with Bayesian evidence indicating interoceptive processes are largely modality-specific. 🔗 Read here: osf.io/preprints/psya…

We measured individual differences in cardiac🫀and respiratory🫁 interoception, and auditory 👂exteroception using advanced psychophysical techniques, which dissect performance across: ✅ Sensitivity ✅ Precision ✅ Confidence ✅ Metacognition

Cardiac 🫀and respiratory 🫁 performance were uncorrelated, both in terms of sensitivity—how well participants sensed heart rate or breathing resistance—and in precision—how stable their estimations were.

Despite this, individuals overall confidence (metacognitive bias) correlated across all three modalities, while metacognition itself was uncorrelated. Mirroring exteroceptive research, showing confidence as domain-general, but metacognitive efficiency as more task-specific.

Using Bayesian statistics, we found further evidence against a relationship between cardiac & respiratory interoception—except in confidence.

Our findings challenge prior claims of a unitary interoceptive sense, and underscore the need for multimodal clinical assessments + dynamic physiological manipulations to fully capture the role of interoception in psychopathology.

💡 In summary, our key takeaways: 1️⃣ Interoception is not a single, unified sense 2️⃣ Confidence spans multiple modalities 3️⃣ Clinical & theoretical models must account for modality-specific interoception interventions

Our latest preprint is out, addressing a question I’m frequently asked after my talks: do cardiac and respiratory interoception correlate? The answer seems to be no!

Jack Stanley shows how to tailor #LLMs for single-sentence prediction in #autism: -Language models enable robust autism diagnosis from healthcare text reports alone -Interpretability framework points to autism-relevant sentence elements from reports -Comparison against DSM-5

I can't actually believe this but I got a Lundbeck Postdoctoral Fellowship! 🤯 I'm so excited to work on multi-organ brain-body interaction models with Micah G. Allen , Anke Karabanov , Dani S. Bassett, & Diego Vidaurre! I'm honestly in shock and can't wait! 🎉

Congratulations to Leah - we are very proud of you and excited to watch this project!

Our students are running a short survey on interoception, ADHD, and autism. They’d be super grateful if you could take it & share! 👉 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #ADHD #Autism #interoception #psychscience

Hard to believe I used to have some kind of actual reach here. Not sure why I still keep this account open.

Do you have #ADHD or #autism? We're running a short, anonymous survey on interoception. It takes just 15–20 minutes, and your input would mean a lot. 👉 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
