Really enjoyed talking about delusions as embodied, affective and relational experience yesterday at one of our IMH lunchtime seminars! Great questions and lots more to work on in the new year!

New from the band formerly known as Hearing the Voice...a short paper about felt presence and early psychosis.
We report some basic links to things like fear and quoted examples from our "Voices in Psychosis" study 1/3

..and you can read the interdisciplinary extravaganza - including perspectives from psychology, philosophy, linguistics, religious studies, anthropology, english & medical humanities - in this collection we did based on the original study. And it's all free to read! 3/3

You can find the original study here - it focused on the phenomenology and personification of voices in early psychosis 2/3

It was an absolute joy this week to chair my second meeting of @theichr.bsky.social hosted by the wonderful @parkbmb.bsky.social in Nashville.
So much excellent work from ICHR & @echrhallucinations.bsky.social - thank you to all who presented! #ICHR2025
Hi all!👋 This year, my sabbatical will focus on learning more about the brain, esp. neural mechanisms behind social theory of mind & affect. This includes its breakdowns, e.g. psychosis, hallucinations and delusions related to ToM. I'll be posting what I learn along the way. Thanks for connecting! ☺️

Day two of #ICHR2025 begins with the one and only Tanya Luhrmann speaking on “Culture and Voices”.
Voices are not merely a glitch or aberration, but tell us “something fundamental about our minds”, our cultures, and our ways of understanding thinking itself
