Results from study of mental health in 92 countries (n>53,000): People are not doing well.

- U-shape for age is gone: Young adults lowest health, highest illness
- Education still matters (a lot)
- 45% of older people live alone
- Hybrid work > 100% remote or in-person

Ever wondered how the heart and brain communicate? Think the heart as the drummer 🥁 & the brain as the singer 🎤 keeping the body's band in tune!

Very happy to share that today I had the graduation ceremony for my PhD, which I defended back in April. A big thanks to all the people who have made this possible, in particular @stefaniehoehl.bsky.social for being the best supervisor one could have hoped for!

Körpersignale spielen bereits im Säuglingsalter eine Rolle in der Entwicklung 👶
Bislang ist kaum erforscht, ob & wie Babys ihre eigenen Körpersignale wahrnehmen können. Eine Studie der Wiener Kinderstudien der Uni Wien zeigt erstmals, dass bereits 3 Monate alte Babys ihren Herzschlag wahrnehmen. 💓 ⤵️
Den eigenen Körper wahrnehmen – schon Babys spüren Herzschlag und Atmung

1/3 New preprint alert! 🚨 doi.org/10.31219/osf...

Are you studying interoception in a developmental or parental context?

We introduce the Parental Interoception Questionnaire (PIQ), a new tool to assess how parents perceive and respond to their child’s bodily signals.

Measuring cardiac interoceptive accuracy is hard in adults, let alone in infants! Such fun turning my brain to this alongside the wonderful Rosie Donaghy, Matteo Lisi and Jeanne Shinskey. Our musings on possible ways forward now accepted in psychophysiology: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Children are disgusting, it's a known fact. But why?! Adults show proto-nausea: a gastric response to grossness. We found this to be absent in 5-13 year-olds! However, children DID show the exact same behavioural avoidance as adults.

Three ManyBabies projects - big collaborative replications of infancy phenomena - wrapped up this year. The first paper came out this fall. I thought I'd take this chance to comment on what I make of the non-replication result. 🧵

If you have found value in the large-scale studies we carried out through global collaborations in recent years, we will soon share something on a whole new level.

A true testament of dedication to scientific rigor from everyone involved - authors, editor, peer reviewers - for the good of society.
