By combining fNMES with EEG, we could gain a better understanding of the temporal dynamics of facial-feedback mechanisms. However, as with other stimulation methods, the EEG signal is susceptible to potentially debilitating interference.
Facial Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (fNMES) is a promising technique for providing/manipulating proprioceptive signals from facial muscles to the brain, signals that have been found to shape our emotional world.
New paper just dropped. Who would’ve thought that you could make accurate observations of electrical brain phenomena (N170 ERP) WHILST electrically stimulating facial muscles? We did. We propose an exciting new avenue for the study of embodied cognition. https://t.co/u1i0jf9pu4
New paper: The brain anticipates social rejection by regulating the body's signals. We call it allostatic-interoceptive anticipation, increases when the outcome of a social interaction is uncertain, measured with intracranial recordings and EEG🧵 1/3👉 https://t.co/Kj2gO8YPev
EEG results are consistent with an allostatic-interoceptive framework: the brain regulates the body' signals to anticipate a social rejection. Interoceptive signals were modulated by uncertainty during the anticipation of social outcomes 2/3
Further evidence of vitamin D's role as a mediator of dopaminergic development - essential research given that developmental vitamin D deficiency linked to disorders of abnormal dopamine signalling with a neurodevelopmental basis such as schizophrenia https://t.co/nqGkQOkAhb
New paper by @MilaPopova8 and myself. In a longitudinal EEG study, we track how representations of new faces develop over the first 8 months of knowing someone.

New technical publication by the KorbLab on how to do ERPs while people's facial muscles get electrically stimulated. Spearheaded by the amazing @_Neurobaker 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
What if in AR you could see the carbon impact of any product? Quick math: Production of one wine bottle will release 650 liters of CO2 gas into the atmosphere (basically the whole shelf), which equals 349 grams of solid carbon. #ar#carbon#wine
Wonderfully theory/empirically grounded digital mental health training: teaching youth understand emotional experiences as a dynamic process that involves cognitive appraisals, bodily reactions, expressions, action tendencies and feelings https://t.co/t6Ohh3aMQ3 #gamification
Using video-montages, new study shows that participants could identify the likely owner of the heartbeats significantly above chance. Cool new study out in @CORTEXjournal. Congrats @AlexGalvezPol et al

Are you interested in understanding human reward processing using experimental methods closer to animal research (increasing cross-species comparability)?

Do you have pain in an arm/hand or leg/foot? We are interested in how you perceive your painful body part, and how you would would LIKE it to look and feel. This survey will inform a Virtual Reality treatment that @CaitlinENaylor is working on. https://t.co/En8dCMIwyv
Today at 18:30 in Zurich: peaceful get together at the Rathausbrücke to #StandWithUkraine (not linked to one unique political party or ideology). Bring your candles to show the Swiss government that you want them to act now.
