In Physics of Life Reviews: Brain-body interaction has revealed a role for interoception in cognitive functioning. I propose a roadmap on how to implement this knowledge into concrete engineering design for biology-inspired AI to, ultimately, reaching near-conscious machines

Thinking about attending ICCN2026 in beautiful Cartagena? We have a dedicated session on brain-body interactions in clinical neurophysiology, together with Jessica Hazelton and @paulasalamone.bsky.social
What's the role of the brain-heart axis in the physiology of dying? Using a rodent model we found that physiological responses in the brain and heart, and their interaction, determine whether an individual survives an anoxic event followed by a resuscitation procedure

Our brain-computer interface paper was just published in NeuroImage 🧠🫀🤖 We show that motor imagery engages specific brain-heart circuits associated with accuracy and learning through longitudinal sessions: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...
Interorgan crosstalk typically occurs via the bloodstream. We showed that brain-heart-gut interplay also occurs in their electrophysiology at infra-slow timescales. We found that fluctuations in the gut are typically followed by the brain and heart after tens of seconds.

Well, chatgpt got the two versions of myself at work lol
Opinion piece from me on brain-computer interfaces 🤖 🦿🦾, out now in Nature Reviews Psychology: Bodily self-consciousness supports motor imagery doi.org/10.1038/s441... read-only link here: rdcu.be/eXIhb
Pleased to share the acceptance of our #ESCAN2026 Symposium: Dynamic brain-body interactions in perception, selfhood, and cognition across health and disease, featuring Francesca Garbarini, Nicholas Hedger, @jellinap.bsky.social and @paulasalamone.bsky.social, see you in Rome! @escaneu.bsky.social
This podcast commented about our recent paper on the vagal effects over the heartbeat strength, published in Communications Biology: heart-rate-variability-podcast.castos.com/episodes/thi...
