A recording of a talk I gave for the Nencki Foundation on body-brain communication and what happens when it goes awry [in Polish].
Interoception and the musical brain
Interoception and the musical brain
In this study, we explored how learning to play an instrument may influence how attuned we are to subtle sensations from our body.
Decision-making amidst pain

A blog post for Noigroup about decision-making in persistent pain.
Body in the face of uncertainty
Body in the face of uncertainty
Uncertainty affects many areas of our lives, making it important to understand the factors that impact our decision-making under uncertainty. In this study, we investigated the impact of arousal and interoception on the way we make decisions in context of uncertainty. We showed that our decisions are related to individual differences in both generation and perception of subtle changes in bodily arousal during the decision-making process.
Cardiac information sampling
Cardiac information sampling
Do subtle bodily signals influence how we interact with the world around us? In this study, we tested whether cardiac cycle impacts the rate of information gathering and processing.
Alcohol binge drinking and inhibitory control
Alcohol binge drinking and inhibitory control
In this paper we show that higher incidence of binge drinking is associated with compensatory activation in attentional brain areas during successful response inhibition. This effect is attenuated in the fearful context, suggesting facilitation of inhibitory control in presence of fearful stimuli.
A novel way of studying emotions related to complex phenomena
A novel way of studying emotions related to complex phenomena
Emotions are complex and many people find it difficult to talk about or describe their own emotions. This may be particularly difficult in respect to emotions related to complex global phenomena such as climate change or COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we used a novel approach to takle this issue. Listen to my talk or take a look at the paper to find out more!
Emotional impulsivity and alcohol use
Emotional impulsivity and alcohol use
People often act on impulse especially when experiencing strong emotions. But does this emotional impulsivity also affect our tendencies to drink alcohol? In this review paper, Dora Duka and I analyse research to entangle how emotional impulsive may drive alcohol use and how alcohol use may lead to impulsive behaviours.
