🫁❤️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...

I think it's time to retire the idea that oxytocin is exclusively a 'social' hormone.

If you fancy the idea that emotions are inferences we make together, have a read and fire back with critiques, questions, or priors of your own.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Gorillas offer clues to how social relationships work in humans – study
Survey of 164 primates in Rwanda shows how impact of being close to others is affected by group size and sex
Human friendship groups are complex – and often fraught – but a study of mountain gorillas has found that their societies can also be head-scratchingly complicated.
The study, which took in 20 years of health data involving 164 gorillas in Rwanda, discovered that the costs and benefits of being close to others changed depending on the size of groups and differed for males and females. Continue reading...
