The Pupil‐Brain System at Rest: Spontaneous Pupil Fluctuations as Markers of Neuromodulatory and Network Dynamics

Psychophysiology June 1, 2026 Tongxin Liu, Sonja A. Kotz, Antonio Criscuolo et al. 1 citation

Spontaneous pupil fluctuations (SPFs) during rest provide a non-invasive, low-cost index of central arousal dynamics, independent of cognitive task demands. These features position SPFs as promising markers for baseline neurophysiological activity in both basic and translational research. This review synthesizes current evidence on the resting-state pupil-brain system, focusing on its core...

Revisiting Alpha Resting State Dynamics Underlying Hallucinatory Vulnerability: Insights from Hidden Semi-Markov Modeling

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) December 12, 2023 Hanna Honcamp, Michael Schwartze, Maria Amorim et al. preprint

Abstract Resting state (RS) brain activity is inherently non-stationary. Hidden Semi-Markov Models (HsMM) can characterize the continuous RS data as a sequence of recurring and distinct brain states along with their spatio-temporal dynamics. Recent explorations suggest that EEG brain state dynamics in the alpha frequency link to auditory hallucination proneness (HP) in non-clinical individuals....

Exploring Neural Dynamics in Self-Voice Processing and Perception: Implications for Hallucination Proneness

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) September 22, 2023 Suvarnalata Xanthate Duggirala, Hanna Honcamp, Michael Schwartze et al. 1 citation preprint

Abstract Altered sensory feedback processing and attention control are assumed to contribute to auditory verbal hallucinations, which are experienced by the general population and patients with psychosis, implying a continuum of hallucination proneness (HP). However, the interaction of altered sensory feedback processing and attention control along this HP continuum remains unclear....
