Social touch has been largely taken from our lives due to Covid19 unfortunately. I am thus very happy to share our new paper on the underlying neurophysiology of hugs and kisses in romantic partners published in @SciReports together with @BerretzGesa, @RookNoemi and @ocklenBLOG.

Recruiting PhD students for Fall 2026!
The Coupled Minds Lab at @TAMU will use a multimodal approach combining fMRI hyperscanning, computational modeling, and natural language processing to study how conversations transform minds. Learn more: coupled-minds.github.io/
Due Dec 1
Happy to see our meta-meta-analysis on handedness differences in clinical cohorts published! Ever wondered if hand preference differs in individuals with clinical diagnoses compared to healthy controls and what mechanisms might underlie it? Then unroll the thread! 😃 1/x
Our results are indicative that changes in asymmetry are best understood from a transdiagnostic and symptom-focused perspective and highlight the need for future experimental approaches to achieve definitive causal insight into these highlighted mechanisms. 10/x
And that's a wrap for a very long post. In case you are interested to read further, you can read more in the publication. Shoutout to my amazing colleages @ocklenBLOG, @GesaBerretz, @MPapadatou, Sarah Merklein and Jette Borawski.

‼️New Article: we show that 🫀#cardiac activity covaries with #brain network patterns 🧠 that allow the distinction between receiving #self and other produced #touch
Lovely collab paper with @diegocandiar F. de Vico Fallani @RebeccaBoehme

Very honored that @helenahhartmann and I received the research award for clinical research by the Deutsche Schmerzgesellschaft e.V.! Even came with a cool medal 😊

Happy to share my latest work on dynamic functional connectivity changes during social vs. non-social touch in autism. This study reveals atypical context-dependent modulation of connectivity associated with autism during touch observation. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Please help us understand how autistic adults experience touch. We urgently need more male participants (both autistic and nonautistic). Please find the link below.
