Finally a book on touch that places our experience of our senses in the context of our collective intentionality throughout history. Excellent book review here: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/n08/…
Step 1 of Carolina's outstading PhD on parental interoceptive mentalisation. How do parents 'read' the interoceptive states of their child? How do we know our child is hungry, tired or cold? A careful validation of the 1st questionnaire on this important developmental dimension.
1/3 New preprint alert! 🚨

Are you studying interoception in a developmental or parental context?
We introduce the Parental Interoception Questionnaire (PIQ), a new tool to assess how parents perceive and respond to their child’s bodily signals.

Check out our new study - a placebo controlled, randomized trial of peripheral vs central beta blockade on cardiac and respiratory interoception!
1/ We can measure interoception in many aspects, but can we actually manipulate it? I’m excited to share our new study, which shows that blockade of peripheral beta-adrenergic pathways improves cardiac and respiratory interoception in unique ways! 🧵👇biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
