While that work focused on the potential impact of visceral signals on neural development & perceptual learning, our new paper considers how the top-down regulation of such signals across multiple scales may engender agentic control, selfhood, & neurobehavioural diversity

This work follows from our earlier analysis of embodied active inference & the role of rhythmic visceral dynamics in prenatal development

I’d like to be added please! I do mostly behavioural cognitive science but like to do neuroimaging when I can!

Looks like nobody has made a Cognitive Psychology starter pack yet, so I made one!

Comment to get added to the list! All things cognition are welcome.

I’d love to be on the list, but can’t make it to the conference this year - can’t wait to see all the updates here 🤩

What a great idea! Would love to be on the list.

Yes absolutely!! It is really hard to find good, readily available images of pregnant women (stereotypes abound) but I take the point and you’re totally right!

Special shout out to my star PhD student @rebeccanineill.bsky.social - this paper will likely be her first academic publication!

We hope this research sparks new interest in cognitive processes during matrescence, and relations to mental health in personally transformative periods. The vast majority of women are pregnant at some point in their lives, and yet we still know very little about this process!

Our exploratory findings regarding trimesters showed that the biggest disruption to the sense of self was seen in the 1st tri, which was recovered to a stronger sense of self than controls in the 2nd tri, and returned to a relative pregnancy baseline by the 3rd tri.

Using self-report and tasks we found that overall, compared to women who had never been pregnant (n=102:100), pregnant women reported higher body estrangement, increased body visibility, more often felt out of control, and had poorer performance on a learning task.

Pregnancy involves dramatic changes in the body and mind, but we know little about how the self changes, or the cognitive processes underlying this changing self. Check out my new preprint with @rebeccanineill.bsky.social and Sharna Jamadar where we aim to find out: osf.io/preprints/psya… A 🧵

Depersonalization affects self-prioritization of bodily, but not abstract self-related information
