Amazed to hit 1k on Bluesky - time for a re-introduction! 👋 I’m Marta, a PhD researcher at MPI CBS @mbe-lab.bsky.social working on how cardiorespiratory signals contribute to our bodily self-awareness🫀🫁🧠 #neuroskyence #academicsky Here’s a 🧵 of things I’m passionate about: [1/5]

Excited to see this now out in the world! We identify a computational basis for how persistent underconfidence is maintained in the face of intact performance, finding that it is grounded in impaired updating of global self-beliefs from local metacognition www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/N

Fantastic work by Charlotte Stagg on single thalamic nuclei stimulation using noninvasive FUS. Exactly the basic experiments we need to make this modality credible at the moment.

Lovely/comprehensive review of metacognition and functional neurological disorder; a condition that demands a metacognitive interpretation: doi.org/10.1093/brai... The emerging picture aligns with findings in psychopathology more broadly—metacognitive performance is often equivalent to controls.

💡 When making choices—like picking a flat, a job, or a romantic partner—when should we stop looking and commit? Our new study from @rhulpsychology.bsky.social published in Communications Psychology explores how biased expectations about future options shape our decisions. 🧵👇

HOT OFF THE PRESS - Back in 2019 we started asking ourselves what could you to demonstrate where werable, OPM-MEG technology could fit into naturalistic #neuroskyence. One snag, we'd have to build the system from scratch first... Anyway its 2025, read the paper here -> doi.org/10.1162/imag...

Are flat priors really justified when estimating behavioral correlations between subjects? It seems weird to believe that correlations magnitude of abs(r)= 0.8-1 are as equally likely as r = 0-0.2 when working with psychological data, as we know the vast majority of all correlations are r < 0.4.

"The quickest way to your man’s heart is through the right ventricle by way of his tricuspid valve, as he explained (with diagrams) on your first date. The second quickest? Ask him whether microplastics disrupt the body’s fragile hormonal balance. (A budget-friendly pick.)"

1/10 🧠 We need better ways to measure brain excitability in psychiatric disorders. The prefrontal cortex—key target for brain stimulation treatments—is particularly hard to assess. Our new studies tackle this with systematic mapping! bit.ly/4cjHknX & bit.ly/3PW8RCx

Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, alters perception and induces hallucinations. In this preprint, we show through visual illusions, fMRI and modeling that psilocybin affects contextual computations, a potentially general mechanism of psychedelics. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

a lot of responses failing to engage with the actual thesis of the paper. tldr: it is not about the generic 'soft' interdisciplinarity of studying cognition, but rather the original, specific view of cognitive science as a unifying enterprise with a shared thesis. as a cognitive scientist, I agree..
