New from our COGNIZE Lab in Advanced Science:
Beneath the Big Five, personality consistently organizes into two dimensions, each with distinct brain signatures. Amazing work by postdoc @KaixiangZhuang and thanks to all our collaborators! https://t.co/jlg0rKYgUv
New paper in PNAS! When the mind wanders, it often drifts to the body. We call this "body-wandering". These thoughts are often negative, but are associated with reduced ADHD & depression symptoms, driven by a distinct interoceptive-allostatic brain signature. https://t.co/FYxdmh0RXH
🧠New paper alert (the 1st one from our new lab)!
Led by 1st author & VR wizard @J_A_Quent@NatureComms
How do our brains distinguish novel from familiar places as we explore our environments, e.g., a new city?

Brilliant @ClaraWakonigg committed to sharing our work under the hot Greek sun at #ASSC28 in Crete. If you're around and want to know more, come talk to us!
No time to read our new review on the DMN and attractor states? Worry not.
Now available as an AI-generated podcast via NotebookLM & Deep Dive, and honestly, not a bad job at all 😄

New review out: we propose an attractor-state framework linking the Default Mode Network and whole-brain dynamics to ongoing experience and its disruptions in mental health.

🚨After five years, one pandemic, and hundreds of hours of lost sleep, our study on how sleep deprivation affects the neural correlates of memory suppression is finally published!

Here's what we found 👇 (1/7)
Had a lovely time at the launch of the Sussex Centre for Consciousness Science with the Reality Bending Lab team and associates! @SussexCentre@RealityBending_
@TUIUK we just got an email that our flight has been cancelled 7 hours before it was scheduled, with no alternative flight offered. It just says we will receive a full refund in 14 days... Good luck to us trying to find another flight now at the last minute... Absolute disgrace..
Work with us @Sussex_Psych !
Two fixed term, part-time lectureships to provide teaching cover.

After a fantastic week at #OHBM2024 in Seoul, I had an amazing time giving guest lectures at @FudanUni's GRIPS event. Visiting @neurodenizen's lab was equally incredibly productive, discussing cutting-edge research and future collaborations. Thanks for the great experience!
Kaixiang Zhuang #1076: Organizational principles of semantic control in the human brain (using NLP-based models and MVPA methods, in collab with @the_mindwanders , Beth Jefferies & @tkarap ) #OHBM2024
Thrilled to reconnect with the @OHBM community and colleagues once again! Presenting six exciting posters this year from my freshly minted COGNIZE Lab 🧠 #Shanghai#FudanUni
Check out the sneak-peek below ⬇️ and/or contact us for an engaging face-to-face exchange! #OHBM2024 1/8
Had an incredible time visiting our brilliant friend and collaborator @neurovidaurre's lab at @CFIN_AU. Thank you for the warm hospitality and inspiring discussions. Very excited for some awesome future joint research! @Sussex_Psych@SussexUni@AarhusUni_int
Interested in BWAS? We used a state space + HCP task data to show traits vary in their brain associations across tasks👇
