📜🎉 Our project on aperiodic neural activity during sleep, led by the wonderful @mosameen.bsky.social, is now published!

This project shows how time-resolved measures of aperiodic neural activity track changes of sleep stages + lots of other analyses in iEEG & EEG!

Temporally resolved analyses of aperiodic features track neural dynamics during sleep - Communications Psychology
Sleep involves dynamic changes in brain activity that unfold over time, reflected in the brain’s aperiodic EEG patterns. Incorporating the spectral ‘knee’—a bend in the EEG power spectrum—reveals stag...

New perspective paper out now in @plosbiology.org with a few thoughts on #interoception: What it is (or rather is not), how it can inform therapeutic interventions, and where (we think) the field of brain-body #neuroskyence has yet to find more solid ground to build on.

So happy this paper is now out in @plosbiology.org! We investigated whether fluctuations in MEPs can be explained by phasic influences from internal bodily rhythms, and whether this might happen independently per organ system.

How do internal bodily rhythms influence #brain activity & motor function? @tahnee-engelen.bsky.social &co show that #cardiac, #respiratory & #gastric rhythms independently modulate motor excitability, revealing distinct #interoceptive profiles across individuals @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4nMtpLT

Stats on #bodybrain #neuroskyence data can become non-trivial pretty quickly: Anything beyond t-tests on 'systole vs diastole' or 'insp vs exp' will include some form of phase binning, so we need adequate surrogates for robust permutation stats. Plus, these are not available for circular data.

Two new preprints on multilevel HMMs! Time series data is now pervasive in psychology and new methods are needed to model the dynamics in such data. Hidden Markov Models (HHMs) are powerful models for dynamics in which a system is switching between a number of discrete states.

Was passiert, wenn die kontinuierliche Dynamik von Erregung und Hemmung im Gehirn außer Balance gerät? Fokale Epilepsie ist eine neurologische Erkrankung, bei der wir im EEG und MEG eine erhöhte Erregbarkeit des Kortex beobachten - so feuern (zu) viele Neurone zum gleichen Zeitpunkt.

Bisher haben wir uns angeschaut, dass Atmung über verschiedene Mechanismen an Hirnaktivität gekoppelt ist und insbesondere rhythmischer Aktivität (Oszillationen) verschiedene Funktionalitäten zugeschrieben werden. Hier ist ein Aspekt für mein Lab besonders interessant: Kortikale Erregbarkeit.

Wie aber werden jetzt Oszillationen vom Atemrhythmus beeinflusst? Ein Mechanismus, der vor allem aus der Tierliteratur hergeleitet ist, ist in dieser schematischen Abbildung dargestellt: Der Atemrhythmus selbst entsteht im Hirnstamm, in einem Kernbereich namens 'präBötzinger-Komplex' (pBC).
