If you’ll be in Padova next week, consider stopping by the Psychology Department for the PONS Conference (ponspadova2021.wixsite.com/pons-2021/co...).
I’ll be giving a talk on “Neurophysiology and Applications of Social Touch in the Real and Digital Worlds.”
Looking forward to great discussions!

🤱New paper out on touch interventions for newborns!
Here we systematically review evidence on touch interventions and their effects on arousal & self-regulation — highlighting their potential for preterm babies, and in stress & pain management.

⭐New preprint out: osf.io/preprints/ps... Here we systematically review the benefits of touch in promoting self-regulation skills of newborns, particularly supporting the use of tactile interventions for premature babies and neonatal pain management in clinical contexts.
