Frequently ignored bodily rhythms may be skewing neuroscience experiments

Heartbeat-evoked responses (HER) are a widely used marker for interoception. However, our systematic review revealed considerable methodological variability and a lack of reporting standards, likely ...

Abstract. Reward processing is critical for motivation, learning, and decision making. It involves a network centered on the fronto-striatal circuit, with the ventral striatum (VS) playing a pivotal r...

The waxing and waning cortical oscillatory power correlates with function and disease. This cross-trial variability has been thought to be due to neuromodulation, uncertainty encoding, and/or changes ...

Noise as a Signal – A New Electrical Signature of Parkinson’s Disease

The cognitive neuroscience community using M/EEG has not converged on measures of task-related inter-regional brain connectivity that generalize acros…

Heartbeat-evoked responses (HER), as measured by electroencephalography (EEG) or magnetoencephalography (MEG), have become widely used as a marker of cardiac interoception in the study of brain-body i...

Die Daimler und Benz Stiftung gibt Impulse – heute für Morgen. Über Ländergrenzen hinweg fördert sie interdisziplinäre Forschungsprojekte.

Sleep supports memory consolidation, but can it also facilitate memory reorganization? This study reveals that N2 sleep, but not N1 sleep during a nap, increases the likelihood of having an 'aha' mome...

Two EEG studies in healthy human adults suggest that choice history and stimulus probability-induced biases in somatosensory perception are reflected in distinct prestimulus beta power modulations acr...

Periods of focused attention on incoming sensory stimuli are associated with longer cardiac cycles, measured as an increase in the interbeat interval (IBI). We found that the heartbeat-evoked potenti...
