These findings may have implications for sleep interventions that enhance interoception through mindfulness, for which caution should be exercised for older adults and those with anxiety.

Audrey Duarte @audreyduarte.bsky.social · Sep 3

Results show that greater belief in one's interoceptive abilities, which increased with age, predicts poorer sleep quality, particularly in individuals with higher levels of anxiety.

In this new study, @ahhyunseo.bsky.social @leekyof.bsky.social investigate the role of interoception, the perception of internal body sensations, and related insula integrity in sleep patterns across the adult lifespan. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

This study examined interoceptive constructs and sleep quality across adulthood, focusing on the insula's role in these relationships. Results suggest that both actual and perceived interoceptive abi....

New paper from our lab in which we show that altered arousal in Autism Spectrum Disorders reduces episodic memory for emotional events. Stronger effects with age support an accelerated aging hypothesis of ASD. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Emotional Arousal‐Induced Episodic Memory Benefits Are Attenuated in Autism Spectrum Disorders, Especially in Older Age

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder associated with episodic memory impairment. Although emotional factors such as arousal, as well as age and depression symptoms, ...

This is really cool. It seems ripe for an aging comparison too

I couldn't be more proud of this amazing work from @soroushmirjalili.bsky.social. It's innovative and exciting, using novel ML methods to investigate the idea that episodic memory can be deconstructed into its component cognitive functions to understand why we remember some events and forget others.

Soroush Mirjalili @soroushmirjalili.bsky.social · Mar 24

Why do we remember some events but forget others? In our recent work published at @naturecomms.bsky.social, @audreyduarte.bsky.social and I used machine learning to simultaneously quantify multiple cognitive components of
episodic memory.

Slower RTs and sustained ERPs during the rejection of incongruent semantic features in older people suggest increased demands on semantic memory search through a denser representational space, created by an age-related accumulation of knowledge.

We leveraged a distributional semantic memory model to create a semantic verification task where we measured response speed and ERPs from young and older adults.
