Our new study on #MindBlanking quantified how often we report such an experience. @parboulakis.bsky.social performed meta-analysis & offers a way to calculate sample sizes when adding MB in our studies. We hope it will be useful for those studying #MindWandering & spontaneous thinking at large!

🎉 Very happy that this worked out! From the FNRS: "The AMG supports original, bold and creative medical or biomedical research projects that are unable to find support through traditional funding channels due to a lack of preliminary data, the absence of previous work or an unusual methodology."

In the line of good news, our lab's magician @parboulakis.bsky.social is presenting our latest work with @thomasandrillon.bsky.social @anikokusztor.bsky.social and #TsuchiyaNao. We combined fMRI and EEG & found that #MindBlanking has different neural signatures depending on perceived vigilance 😍. 🧵👇

One of the things I was hoping we provide to the #ASSC28 was children activities, for assisting parents to attend the sessions. And we did it! As a bonus, we get to have kids' refreshing energy around, so very welcome!
