Our simulation toolbox meegsim enables setting up SNR of individual sources as well as SNR of all signal sources with respect to all noise sources. meegsim.readthedocs.io
- Reposted by Agata Patyczek 🏳️🌈Happy also to chat about our Brain-Body Analysis Special Interest Group (BBSIG) pipelines for preprocessing and analysing ECG, PPG and respiration (soon), openly available and ready-to-use with BIDS data as Jupyter Notebooks 🫀🫁 Work of +20 wonderful collaborators! ✨ 📑 Documentation: www.bbsig.de

- Reposted by Agata Patyczek 🏳️🌈🧠🫀 New from our lab on Frontiers for Young Minds: Ever wondered how the heart and brain communicate? Think the heart as the drummer 🥁 & the brain as the singer 🎤 keeping the body's band in tune! Read here (for ages 8–15): kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2025.1536787/full [1/2]
- How lovely!
- ARTE released a nice trailer for the upcoming documentary on the vagus nerve, which will cover our ongoing work on gut-brain interactions. It also features @neurometabolic.bsky.social, so I am sure it will be worth watching 👀 www.arte.tv/de/videos/12...
- Bidirectional or integrated state? Some food for thought about brain-body interaction in this concept paper by my supervisors Arno Villringer @michaelgaebler.com and Vadim Nikulin.

- Check out the AffectTracker to track your affect! Effectively track your affective processing ;)
- Our studies confirmed AffectTracker is reliable, with high user experience and low interference. It opens new avenues for linking subjective experience to physiological dynamics. The tool is open-source and available on GitHub! #OpenScience

- Women's health is not just reproductive health! One of many Taboos we discussed at the "My Body, My Brain, My Choices" workshop created by @cogneuroend.bsky.social and hosted by @volkswagenstiftung.de.
- The workshop highlighted how essential education is for breaking down shame, ignorance, and misinformation about women's health. Sharing science responsibly, listening, and incorporating people's real-life experiences in research, and having open discussions with the public all matter a lot.
- As an early-career researcher, it was possible for me to attend thanks to the Gertrud Jungblut Award! It's so special to be able to attend a meeting that gives time to improve science and propel innovation in the right direction!
- Was super fun to write this little piece with @el-rei.bsky.social @martager.bsky.social @michaelgaebler.com Generally, its cool to write for kids and be REVIEWED by kids! Awesome reviews like "this is boring" or "this doesn't make sense" - real, honest and super helpful! Loved it, highly recommend.
- Check out our new article for young readers (ages 8-15) on heart-brain interactions and interoception! 🧠🫀 I had so much fun co-writing this with @agatapatyczek.bsky.social @el-rei.bsky.social with the support of @michaelgaebler.com ✍️ 👉 Share it widely with curious young minds Yay for #scicomm ✨
- Reposted by Agata Patyczek 🏳️🌈Could the diversity of findings in heartbeat-evoked response (HER) research be due to variability in methods? In our new preprint my co-first authors, Maria Azanova and @willenjoy.bsky.social, and me systematically reviewed 132 M/EEG HER studies and found:
