Thank you for featuring our exciting findings, showing how a simple sternal vibration device offers a low effort way to enhance interoception, with effects on white matter plasticity! Alexa Kondas and @timmcdermottphd.bsky.social were the stars here

Beautifully written piece by @dianakwon.bsky.social in @sciam.bsky.social on interoception, central to many mental health problems and also a thing we can target with the right technology (including our clinical trial, discussed therein)

Rock star postdoc @timmcdermottphd.bsky.social shows some amazing evidence that temporal interference can do the same things as FU (but lots easier and cheaper) - check it out tonight #SOBP2025

Who knew--breath-synced vibration helps you breathe at an even pace, and this makes you less angry and anxious! Incredibly cool findings from innovative postdoc @timmcdermottphd.bsky.social Super informative about our tech and value of assessing respiration variability during meditation.
