Graphical abstract for the paper. The top panel shows findings that compared to never been pregnant peers, women pregnant for the first time show more body estrangement, more often feel out of control, more body visibility, greater attractiveness, femininity, pride, confidence and poorer learning. The bottom half of the figure depicts changes by trimester such that the first trimester is associated with a dip in sense of self, the second trimester shows consolidation so that the self is stronger in pregnant women than non pregnant peers and a relative return to baseline by the third trimester.

While that work focused on the potential impact of visceral signals on neural development & perceptual learning, our new paper considers how the top-down regulation of such signals across multiple scales may engender agentic control, selfhood, & neurobehavioural diversity

This work follows from our earlier analysis of embodied active inference & the role of rhythmic visceral dynamics in prenatal development

Looks like nobody has made a Cognitive Psychology starter pack yet, so I made one!

Comment to get added to the list! All things cognition are welcome.

Pregnancy involves dramatic changes in the body and mind, but we know little about how the self changes, or the cognitive processes underlying this changing self. Check out my new preprint with @rebeccanineill.bsky.social and Sharna Jamadar where we aim to find out: osf.io/preprints/psya… A 🧵

Reflecting on a week of talks mixing my old and new areas of interest, starting the week with a talk about infant sleep by Doug Teti, the new science of consciousness by Anil Seth, and a series of great presentations on Women’s Health at the Richie Centre Colloquium. Bring on more exciting research!
Anil Seth in front of title slide “the new science of consciousness” at the Melbourne museum Dr Katrina Moss of UQ presenting slide about mental health dynamics over the course of an IVF cycle with temporal graphs of mental health and coping strategies Professor Megan Galbally presents a slide of risk mechanisms for mental health from conception to kindergarten including fetal programming, sex differences, maternal mental health, attachment, trauma, gender equity, lifestyle and community and family support

Wednesday night, Prof Liad Mudrik expertly entwined philosophy and neuroscience for the first Leon Basser Lecture. Thanks to Monash M3CS and a bequest from the Basser family. Especially liked her intuitive argument against determinism as a problem for free will. My kind of evening! 🧠
Professor Liad Mudrik of Tel Aviv University stands next to a podium with a microphone delivering a lecture with a large projected slide that gives a roadmap for her talk. Slide text includes “1 The challenge - translating philosophical questions to testable predictions” and “2 what is consciousness - a definition of terms”
