Over the years, I have written a few Jupyter/Rmd/Matlab notebooks that attempt to teach some statistical concepts, particularly in neuroimaging. You can find them here: www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/rik.h..., though I will say a bit more about each one in a number of posts over next few days.

From Body to Brain and Back: Multimodal Evidence for Interoceptive Alterations in Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders When the brain and body misalign, emotional experience and sense of reality can be disrupted. Although such atypical experiences are central to schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD), interoception, p...

How the brain listens to the body matters.
Our new preprint investigates interoceptive processing in schizophrenia spectrum disorders across phenomenology, behavior, and heartbeat-evoked brain responses. 🧠🫀DOI: doi.org/10.64898/202...

🚨Paper alert: So great to see this published. Our review on the predictive processing account of psychosis!

Thanks to the amazing team 🧠 - it was so much fun writing this piece. 🤩

did a couple presentations lately, at the @lmumuenchen.bsky.social Research Festival, @assc28.bsky.social and at the Cognition Academy @mps-cognition.bsky.social. shared some early PhD findings on interoceptive alterations in schizophrenia🫀🧠 full analysis results coming soon, stay tuned 🐣📊

Postdoc job alert! I’m looking for someone with a PhD in neuroscience/psychology, psychiatry, biomed engineering, computational modeling or a related field to join my NIH-funded team at UCLA studying the neural & computational mechanisms of #interoception in anorexia nervosa 1/2

After some time since completing my Master’s thesis, I’m excited to share that our work has now been published! It’s rewarding to see the project come full circle and contribute to the field alongside a fantastic team.
