The neural correlates of art! Great stuff!

[Deniz Vatansever @neurodenizen]

What makes an artwork beautiful, and can your brain's response decode such hidden dimensions of aesthetic appeal? We built a framework to find out 🎨 🧠

Another great piece of work from @neurodenizen lab!

[Deniz Vatansever @neurodenizen]

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

[Theodoros Karapanagiotidis @tkarap]

Great stuff from @neurodenizen's lab. No surprises there. Already looking forward to what comes next!!

[Deniz Vatansever @neurodenizen]

🧠New paper alert (the 1st one from our new lab)!

How do our brains distinguish novel from familiar places as we explore our environments, e.g., a new city?

If you're at #OHBM2025, go check out this brilliant work! I'm getting some serious FOMO here! 😊

[Deniz Vatansever @neurodenizen]

Big year for our lab at #OHBM2025!

Thrilled to present an exciting mix of posters, talks, and lots of brainy fun 🧠🤓

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.

@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..

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!

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

Interested in BWAS? We used a state space + HCP task data to show traits vary in their brain associations across tasks👇
