π«β€οΈNew preprint out: The social, decoupled self
We show effects of interpersonal synchronization of physiological rhythms on intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling: when we sync our breathing, our breathingβheart rhythms decouple, with a perturbed phase-relationship

In our Trends in Cogn Sci paper we point to the connectivity crisis in task-based human EEG/MEG research: many connectivity metrics, too little replication. Time for community-wide benchmarking to build robust, generalisable measures across labs & tasks. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Using SPM to show that people's faces change colour with their heartbeat.- The centre face is aligned to the R-peak and the red colour shows areas of the face where there is an increase in the green colour in the image and blue a decrease. #neuroscience #social #interoception #heartbeats
