- Reposted by Antonin FourcadeHow the brain listens to the body matters. Our new preprint investigates interoceptive processing in schizophrenia spectrum disorders across phenomenology, behavior, and heartbeat-evoked brain responses. 🧠🫀DOI: doi.org/10.64898/202...
- Reposted by Antonin FourcadeTrying to build an experiment in Unity and slowly losing your patience? Spoiler: that’s completely normal! Meet EDIA - a modular framework for building studies in Unity. 🧩 Reusable modules 📊 Data sync 🕶️ Multi-headset support And yes, a “Find Waldo” demo is included - because science should be fun!
- Deadlines are there to be made. EDIA XR Toolbox for research is now publicly available online. Check out edia-toolbox.github.io for more details. Minor updates are to be expected in coming weeks. We are excited and planning an online zoom session for interested parties soon.

- Reposted by Antonin FourcadeCheck 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 ✨
- 🧠🫀 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]
- 📢Our peer-reviewed article about the AffectTracker is finally out! 😲🕹️📈 Traditional methods for rating emotion often miss the dynamic, moment-to-moment nature of feelings. We designed a tool to capture this continuous affective experience in real-time during dynamic emotional stimulation.
- 👥An amazing team effort by: @fra-malandrone.bsky.social @lucyroe.bsky.social A. Ciston @thefirstfloor.bsky.social A. Villringer S. Carletto @michaelgaebler.com #neuroskyence #vr #emotion #affect #selfreports
- AffectTracker allows users to continuously rate their valence and arousal during VR experiences. It features customizable feedback options, including a simplified affect grid and a novel abstract shape ("Flubber"), designed to be intuitive and minimally interfering.
- 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
- Reposted by Antonin Fourcade📣 We're at the #MindBrainBody Symposium in Berlin, starting today! Looking forward to connect with everyone and share our latest research 🧠 Our group has an exciting lineup of posters - come chat with us! 💬 Check out the previews below to see where and when to meet us 📌 #MBBS24 #neuroskyence
- Reposted by Antonin FourcadeWe centralized our open-science contributions in a new "Tools & Software" section on our website; check out - open stimuli (eg. 3D objects) - open data (eg. MindBrainBody) - tools (eg. excite-o-meter, AffectTracker) - analysis scripts - & more www.cbs.mpg.de/departments/... #researchtransparency
- 🚀 Preprint out! doi.org/10.31234/osf... We developed, empirically evaluated and openly share **AffectTracker**, a new tool to collect continuous ratings of two-dimensional (valence and arousal) affective experience **during** dynamic emotional stimulation (e.g., 360° videos) in immersive VR! 🥽🧠🟦
