New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Yannik Stegmann and Matthias Gamer:
The impact of inherently aversive contexts on visuocortical processing of generalized threat
doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...
New preprint! We show that avoidable threats induce attentive immobility, i.e. alpha suppression, bradycardia, pupil dilation, and centralized gaze, that enhances perception. Memory encoding, however, relies on separate electrocortical and physiological responses.

#PuG2026 was a fantastic conference! Now you can already safely the date for #PuG2027 in Oldenburg: 6-8 May, 2027! 🧠
We're further expanding our team!💼 An Akademische Rätin/Akademischer Rat (A13) position is now open in our group - check out the details below and feel free to share!🙌 #ClinicalPsychology #JobOpening
Our oscillations consensus paper is finally out as a preprint 🤩 thanks to everyone involved

At #2025SPR, @yannikstegmann.bsky.social’s insightful talk on attentive immobility shared that heightened arousal and increased alpha suppression when anticipating threat avoidance only benefit the motor response but not memory encoding. @therealspr.bsky.social

#PuG2026 is around the corner! Hope to see you Friday, 2pm at our symposium "Before You Know It: Early Visual Processing of Socio-Emotional Cues", chaired by @eweidner1.bsky.social and me, with talks by @yannikstegmann.bsky.social and Nick Zuppa 🧠⏩😱
Brain rhythms seem central to understanding the neurophysiological basis of human cognition. Yet, despite significant advances, key questions remain unresolved. In this comprehensive position paper, w...
Together with @mreutter.bsky.social, @leahilde.bsky.social, @tinalonsdorf.bsky.social, @martandreatta.bsky.social, @gamerlab.bsky.social and more colleagues who aren’t on Bluesky (yet)!
Interested in fear conditioning and declarative memory? In our newest article we found that higher anxiety sensitivity was associated with increased P300 and LPP amplitudes, but not enhanced memory performance.

/1 We took our sweet time (~3yrs) to put this into its final shape - but happy to say that the pre-print of an extensive review of brain rhythms in cognition - from a cognruro perspective - is now available. Please let us know what you think. #neuroskyence doi.org/10.48550/arX...
