🌟SPR Science Spotlight Saturday🌟 Learn more about Marta Gerosa's work at www.bbsig.de. Join us at the 66th annual meeting in Halifax! spr.joynmeeting.com/conference/ @martager.bsky.social @mbe-lab.bsky.social @mpicbs.bsky.social

Listen to the episode here (in Italian 🇮🇹): onair.edunext.eu/podcast/psic... Available also on major streaming platforms And check out the other episodes about widespread myths in child and adolescent development, such as bilingualism, lie-telling, memory formation etc., with great guests 📣 [2/2]

Podcast episode out 🎙️ I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Serena M. Stagnitto (UniPV) on the podcast Psycho-Myths, addressing the common belief "numbers don't lie". We discussed topics of replicability, research choices, correlation vs. causation, & how to interpret scientific results 🔬 [1/2]

We didn’t receive the (randomly drawn) prize money 💰🤷 but are very grateful for the recognition and congratulate the other shortlisted teams - let’s collectively improve the working conditions in academia! 💪 Thanks @jungeakademie.bsky.social and @volkswagenstiftung.de!

Excited about our new preprint discussing how AI 🤖 may responsibly contribute to fair and open biopsychology🧠 Check it out: osf.io/preprints/ps... Thank you for this great team effort🙌 @igor-dgps.bsky.social @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social

In this opinion piece, we provide practical recommendations on the strengths and pitfalls of incorporating AI-based tools at each stage of the biopsychological research cycle from an open science perspective 📝 🔗Read the full preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps... [2/4]

Our new preprint "fAIr science — How AI can support a transparent biopsychological research cycle" is out 🚀 AI is rapidly entering biopsychological research, from literature review and study design to data analysis. But can these tools advance open science, or do they risk undermining it? 👇 [1/4]

We were nominated for the Best Research Environment Award 2026 by @jungeakademie.bsky.social & @volkswagenstiftung.de Grateful and looking forward meeting the other amazing shortlisted teams on June 27th 🤝

#PuG2026 comes to an end. One of my highlights was presenting our pilot study using autogenic training to teach voluntary control over interoceptive rhythms, led by @samversc.bsky.social with @niketag.bsky.social @toninfrc.bsky.social @michaelgaebler.com 🧘🫀 #interoception #neuroskyence [1/3]

This year I've volunteered with @penneamiche.bsky.social, an initiative that connects Italian scientists and schools through letter exchanges 💌 From Sep to May, I wrote to a middle school class in Verona, sharing what it's like to be a neuroscientist and to build a research career abroad. [1/3]

Current updates from the IGOR Roundtable (now happening in room HS 01): mark your calendars for October 1st for our next Hackathon and panel discussion with the preliminary title “Current state of journals and research assessment for Open Science?” #PuG2026 #IGOR

The third ongoing project is the perspective paper on using genAI in Biopsychology (led by @annesaulin.bsky.social @ufangyang.bsky.social @michaelgaebler.com @ocklenburg.bsky.social) Also stay tuned soon for the manuscript! 📣

Second day of #PuG2026 for the Mind-Body-Emotion group: you’ll find @michaelgaebler.com at 4pm in room HS 10!

Second day of #PuG2026 for the Mind-Body-Emotion group: you’ll find @flxklotz.bsky.social at 2pm in HS 01!

You still have time to visit @c-abele.bsky.social poster on the opposing effects of loneliness and interoception on cardiac reactivity to interpersonal distance during a #VR stop-distance task ✋🫀🕶️ #PuG2026

🎉New paper out today in Nature Reviews Psychology🎉 with @mjdahl.bsky.social, @mariamaly.bsky.social, and @thiasmittner.bsky.social. We've been working on a unified framework for attentional states and the dynamics of transitions between them. 🧵

Brilliant #PuG2026 keynote talk by @micahgallen.com @the-ecg.org about moving toward a causal approach in #interoception research. My notes are now full of interesting articles that I need to catch up on reading! 📖 #neuroskyence

Morning #PuG2026 crowd! Mark your calendars for one of the first Mind-Body-Emotion talks by @aleksanpi.bsky.social today at 15:30!
