I am curious, why do you think people would not consider hunger an “edge case”? I would argue that it can be triggered by external cues (not typically when internal signals signal fullness, but surely that’s also the case for eg happiness that is difficult to trigger externally while sad)?

We found the opposite to be the case: a hungry state enhanced our participants' ability to detect deviant notes in food stimuli. We interpret this as a potential preparatory mechanism for food intake that facilitates discrimination of food and nonfood odor. (3/3)

In our new paper, @leonieseidel.bsky.social @kkilteni.bsky.social @odorjohan.bsky.social and I asked whether hunger would shift perceptual attention for odor mixtures away from potential indicators of contamination and instead emphasize their food-like components. (2/3)

Only now saw this-congrats Siri!!!

And I look forward to hearing your thoughts 🙂

Happy to hear!

If you are thinking that smell and taste probably grasp bodily information, then I think that might be true. Can’t say much about touch :)

Aw, thanks Siri!

We are a fun and collaborative little team of 4 and there are opportunities to also work with neuroimaging or get training in data analysis or other research methods according to your interest.
