Super exciting to see the fresh-out-the-oven results by @ege-kingir.bsky.social, the winner of last year’s #MindBrainBody Young Scientist Award, comparing #cardiac phase effects for visual and somatosensory perception in the same participants. #MBBS2026 #MBB

0153

So many inspiring talks (here by @saramehrhof.bsky.social, Sameer Alladin, @studenova.bsky.social) and discussions on the first day of the #MindBrainBody Symposium 2026! #MBB2026
