🚀 Preprint on how pain is influenced through the pursuit of motivational goals 🚀 Really smart paradigm & important results on opioidergic brain mechanisms. By @asankleo.bsky.social - my brilliant brother. Lab of @christianbuchel.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The pursuit of motivational goals reduces pain through an opioidergic mechanism
Pain promotes protective behavior but can interfere with other biologically important goals. Survival may require overcoming pain to obtain rewards, secure resources or escape danger, yet evidence for...

To celebrate the openESM paper release, I wrote a brief blog post summarizing recent developments: openesmdata.org/blog/2026-07... We: 💠added more data 💠provided descriptive visualizations for each item 💠created a semantic similarity mapping for items, making it easier to find related items
openesmdata.org
Updates: Paper published, new dataset & features
Our tutorial paper on openESM has been published, and we have added new datasets and features to the platform.

A recent paper by Epp et al. in NN claimed that ~40% of reported BOLD findings could be misinterpreted. In our reanalysis, we identified several statistical issues that, in our view, undermine these conclusions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 👇 1/11

Ever wonder how you read so fast? Your brain gets a head start—processing the next word before your eyes move. Our MEG + eye tracking study out in Nature Communications study from @thechbh.bsky.social reveals orthographic & semantic previews predicting reading speed www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Fast hierarchical processing of orthographic and semantic parafoveal information during natural reading - Nature Communications
Combining MEG, eye-tracking, and representational similarity analysis, this study shows that readers rapidly and sequentially extract orthographic and semantic information from upcoming words before fixation, supporting efficient reading.

This is an exquisite demonstration of using intracranial recordings in humans to validate our findings that amygdala neurons encode the value of exploring in NHPs. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
