This study links cortical microstructural features to individual differences in exploration-exploitation decision-making strategies using a gamified task and quantitative MRI.

The paper investigates body-wandering during rest, finding it linked to negative affect, autonomic arousal, and reduced social thoughts, while correlating with lower ADHD and depression symptoms.

This study identifies distinct microstructural brain correlates of learning rate and learning noise in reward-based decision-making using computational modeling and quantitative MRI.

This paper introduces hierarchical Bayesian models for cardiac and respiratory interoceptive psychophysics to estimate sensitivity, bias, and precision with fewer trials or participants.

The paper identifies brain microstructural correlates of individual differences in respiratory interoception using imaging and psychophysical models in a human sample.

The paper investigates gastric-brain coupling as a marker of mental health using machine learning in 243 participants, finding increased fronto-parietal coupling correlates with worse mental health outcomes.

The paper investigates how respiratory cycles influence perceptual and affective decision-making by showing inspiration accelerates responses and biases emotional categorization.

This study shows that uncertainty in thermosensory expectations enhances the perception of pain in the thermal grill illusion through predictive coding mechanisms.

This study shows that heart rate synchronization between individuals occurs during conscious processing of narrative stimuli and is reduced when attention is distracted.

This study investigates whether heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs) during interoceptive-exteroceptive integration are influenced by precision-weighting, but finds no evidence supporting this hypothesis.

The paper investigates how attention and interoceptive ability modulate cross-modal predictive mechanisms using heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs) in response to auditory stimuli.

The paper investigates ERP correlates of top-down expectations and pop-out during degraded speech comprehension, finding early error signals and a P3a-like pop-out effect in attentive participants.
