Psychiatrist and neuroscientist studying the role of interoception in mental health. Director of Anxiety Disorders Research, UCLA Psychiatry. Opinions my own.
Just released—a brand new special issue focused entirely on interoception. More to follow, but beyond my usual excitement is the fact that this will be kickstarting 2021!!! https://t.co/CA9GDtqybC
AI is becoming clinically relevant for mood and anxiety care—but the evidence is uneven, and enthusiasm must be matched by guardrails. I point out that the priority now is not “AI everywhere,” but actionable, validated, clinically accountable tools that improve care.
We've learned a lot about the heartbeat evoked potential (HEP), but as this recent meta-analysis suggests, we have a lot more to learn when it comes to clinical applications of it. Kudos to Erica, Carolyn et al. on a monumental effort. #interoception

@ruimcosta@AllenInstitute Very nice Rui! Translation and acceleration in the public sphere requires connection with the community, and I love seeing how an institute with distinguished scientific excellence is leading by example. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for the @AllenInstitute

In case anyone not attending the meeting is interested in reading along, we’re putting together a reading list from speakers and will post that. For a good entry book on the topic of consciousness, I’ve been enjoying Michael Pollan’s new book:
