🫁❤️New 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 breathing–heart rhythms decouple, with a perturbed phase-relationship

The social, decoupled self: interpersonal synchronization of breathing alters intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling
People synchronize their periodic behavioural and physiological rhythms with each other during social interaction. While this interpersonal synchronization has largely been associated with positive ef...

Check out our new preprint on how infants respond to music over the first year of life! 👶🧠💃🎶
While neural responses are pretty much ready to go in the youngest, moving to music takes a bit longer, becoming more complex and potentially more dance-like by 12 months. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Development of Auditory and Spontaneous Movement Responses to Music over the First Year of Life
Humans across cultures not only share the ability to recognise music but also respond to it through movement. While the sensory encoding of music is well-studied, when and how infants naturally start ...

Update: Our biomechanics EMG/Posture study on voice and upper limb kinetics has been accepted at Proceedings B. We show that moving the arms (while manipulating mass) recruits (postural) muscles that interact with the voice through respiratory interactions. Postprint: wimpouw.com/files/Pouwet...

How well can video-based methods estimate body kinematics? In my recent paper with @giacomonovembre.bsky.social, we show that accuracy of one such method (OpenPose) varied substantially across subjects & body parts. Interestingly, this accuracy strongly depended on the movement amplitude. t.ly/4Tlnc
