Is interoceptive sensing unified across internal organs? 🫀🫁 Our high-powered psychophysical study (N=241) suggests not. Bayesian evidence indicates interoceptive processes are largely modality-specific—challenging the idea of a unitary interoceptive sense. 🔗 Read here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Out now in the Journal of Pain! In this impressive work, @francescafardo.bsky.social and colleagues developed a 2-dimensional psychophysical approach to model the thermal grill illusion of pain. www.jpain.org/article/S152... #neuroskyence #psychscisky

1. Twenty-some years ago, as the embers of the intelligent design movement were dying out, a loose band of thinkers known as the New Atheists made a name for themselves by confusing materialist methodology with materialist metaphysics and going on the offensive against all of organized religion.

L’expression « médecine traditionnelle chinoise » a été inventée au milieu du XXe siècle, mais rend-elle bien compte de l’histoire médicale en Chine, de ses évolutions, de ses débats ? On en parlait sur @franceculture.bsky.social hier et ça se réécoute ici www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

Lever le bras lorsqu'on porte un patch à la capsaïcine, la molécule piquante du piment, intensifie la douleur. C’est une observation étonnante, découverte un peu par hasard, et répliquée dans une nouvelle étude. Comment expliquer ce lien entre sensibilité à la douleur et gravité ?

Thanks to the @researchdigest.bsky.social for featuring our recent paper on how raising the arm on which a capsaicin patch has been applied dramatically changes the pain elicited by the patch in question! doi.org/10.1002/ejp....

Effect of limb position change on capsaicin‐evoked pain: Evidence of interplays between the vascular and nociceptive systems?
Background This experiment aimed at confirming our incidental observation that, when capsaicin is applied on the volar forearm, raising the arm to a vertical position leads to a dramatic increase in.....

Blood vessels probably aren't the first thing you'd associate with feeling pain. New findings from @acourtin.bsky.social and team, however, suggest that they may play a larger role than we suspected: www.bps.org.uk/research-dig...

Is our sensitivity to pain influenced by signals coming from our blood vessels? This could explain why when we raise the arm on which a capsaicin patch is applied, the pain becomes much worse, a phenomenon we describe and probe in our latest paper doi.org/10.1002/ejp.... A 🧵

📄 Our new preprint is out! In a new study of more than 250 individuals, we investigated the link between mental health and sensitivity to acute thermal pain 🌡️😣. Check out the thread below for surprising findings, as well as links to all study materials and code! osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧠📈 #psychology

A quick reminder that if you think that activity in beta band is an oscillation, think again. β band is dominated by bursts that are not homogeneous. Diversity of the β burst waveforms exceed characteristics found in time-freq. We havecode and nice figures 🧪 #neuroskyence doi.org/10.1016/j.pn...
