Hugely outmanned by non-invasive methods people, I still managed to have a couple of inquisitive conversations here at #BrainStimConf and find the most interesting computation person in my life. Not too ashamed of my poster anymore:

Optogenetic stimulation in visual cortex evokes modality-specific percepts; projection-specific optogenetic stimulation of visual vortex for neuroprosthesis (I'm one of those noninvasive guys, but find this very interesting work)

Great work by @sucharit.bsky.social suggesting that one failure mode in maintaining low self-esteem is the failure to integrate experiences of high confidence into self-esteem. Would be great to develop the intervention/therapeutic potential further.

"Survey measures of metacognitive monitoring are often false" - N = 273 study examines self-reported metacognition scales vs task based measures and finds a negative correlation at best. Interoception research really needs to realise this... link.springer.com/article/10.3... #psychscisky

On Friday I learned my monthly Cycling Plus column has ended. As a freelancer work comes and goes, and I'm hugely grateful for the three years I had. Where a door closes, etc., so I'll be posting on Substack instead. Here's a quick post by way of introduction. It's a bit of a new adventure

Looking for any papers that report a significant increase in any effect (not motor) in systole compared with diastole. I think I have an exhaustive list but just checking that I have not missed any. If you know of any please let me know. Thanks #interoception #cardiac

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
