Excited to share that the main work of my PhD has been published!

We found that having control over pain makes expectations more precise, and changes pain perception. This is accompanied by activation changes in the PAG, SMA and ACC.

Controllability changes pain perception by increasing the precision of expectations
Nature Communications - Control over pain changes how intense it is perceived. Here, the authors show that this effect results from increased expectation precision with control, which changes...

🚨 New preprint! 🚨
Very happy to share our latest work on metacognition with M. Rouault, A. McWilliams, F. Chartier, @kndiaye.bsky.social and @smfleming.bsky.social where we identify contributors to self-performance estimates across memory and perception domains 👇

Feeling *gitty* about this fall with two exciting workshops on Version Control with Git for Scientists coming up @mpib-berlin.bsky.social and @rtg2660.bsky.social @uni-wuerzburg.de! ✨

Sounds interesting? Check out my website, where I share course materials: lennartwittkuhn.com 💫
