Come study with us! We are excited to announce the international application period for our Master’s Degree in Music and Science is now open! www.jyu.fi/en/study-wit... You can apply until 21 January 2026. Please distribute to anyone interested!

Der #EPSY Vorstand stellt sich vor! Heute:Trinh Nguyen (Jungmitgliedervertretung) Ich habe Psychologie an der Universität Heidelberg studiert und an der Universität Wien promoviert, mit Forschungsaufenthalten in Cambridge und Hamilton.

Our new study on self-touch is out in IEEE TAFFC 🤩🥳🧠 A great effort by PhD student @adamenmalm.bsky.social in collaboration with @trinhnguyen.bsky.social We explore the differences between self-touch and touching-while-being-touched using fNIRS and self-report. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/112...

This was so much fun! Bringing 7+ years of @kinderstudien.bsky.social research together into one paper: Interpersonal neural synchrony from a developmental perspective! 🧠🧠👶👨‍🍼👩‍🍼👩‍👩‍👧‍👧

🥳 So pleased to share our new publication: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... The whole @kinderstudien.bsky.social lab got together to do a little scientific retreat last year and this is the result - a truly developmental perspective on the phenomenon of interpersonal neural synchrony 🧠🧠 👨‍🍼👩‍🍼

Neue Fachgruppenleitung der EPSY gewählt! #DGPs #EPSY #EPSY_news #Entwicklungspsychologie #Fachgruppe

I’m looking for a postdoc to join my lab and work on Multi-Brain Stimulation (MBS). Learn more about the project and how to apply below 👇 This position is funded by the @erc.europa.eu Reposts are very welcome 🙏 #Postdoc #Neuroscience #BrainStimulation #EEG #SocialNeuroscience

🫁❤️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 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🥁 New preprint 👇 got the whole @kinderstudien.bsky.social lab working together 🤗 plus some friends, guests & alumni. Our developmental take on interpersonal neural synchrony - from basic entrainment to communicative rhythms to shared representations 🧠🧠

New Article alert🧚We explored how motor synchrony in group settings affects preschoolers’ social learning & closeness. TLDR It didn't — likely due to the complexity of group (triadic) synchrony for young children. doi.org/10.3389/fpsy...

A starter pack for people interested in inter-brain synchrony and simultaneous brain recording of all kind! Check if you're on it and, if not, let me know! #hyperscanning #dualeeg go.bsky.app/T1LTrQS

The preprint is now out on eLife as well 🥰: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Are you interested in what to do with all that movement data you often get in your neuroscience measures? Is it just noise, or how can we make use of it? This December, we are organizing a workshop in Lübeck to discuss precisely these questions. (1/2)

This work has been done together with my amazing colleagues @trinhnguyen.bsky.social @yfpan.bsky.social Filip Melinscak, David Steyrl, Yi Hu, Bettina Sorger, @stefaniehoehl.bsky.social and Frank Scharnowski, with great support from the @fwf-at.bsky.social and @univie.ac.at 🙌

Our latest work, "Investigating short windows of interbrain synchrony: A step toward fNIRS-based hyperfeedback", is now out in @imagingneurosci.bsky.social 🧠💡🎉 doi.org/10.1162/IMAG... We've taken a key first step toward hyperfeedback - i.e. neurofeedback based on interbrain synchrony with fNIRS 🧠🔄🧠

EEG of the Dancing Brain - new paper out! 🧠🕺 Thrilled to share our latest work on disentangling the neural basis of real-time social dance!! www.jneurosci.org/content/45/2... A full @giacomonovembre.bsky.social NPA Lab production 🎬 #dance #socialinteraction #hyperscanning #motioncapture

Here it is our new preprint on neural encoding of musical expectations in newborns! in collaboration with B. Toth & I. Winkler's hungrain team and @giacomonovembre.bsky.social 's NPAlab check it out 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #musicscience #Neuroscience #MusicCognition #Neurodevelopment

Check out our new preprint on how infants respond to music over the first year of life! 👶🧠💃🎶 While neural responses are pretty much ready to go in the youngest, moving to music takes a bit longer, becoming more complex and potentially more dance-like by 12 months. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨 We’re hiring! 🚨 A postdoc position is available at my lab (npa.iit.it) in Rome! Join us to explore: 🎵 Neural bases of musicality (humans, infants, macaques) 💃🕺 Dance & joint music-making 🤝 Spontaneous social behavior ⬇️ Apply through the link below! ⬇️

Excited to share a paper from myself and @lkcirelli.bsky.social focused on caregiver-infant musical interactions in the home! (1/6) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Then we summarized dozens of fantastic studies & theory papers. Hat tips especially to @trinhnguyen.bsky.social @pvrticka.bsky.social @stefaniehoehl.bsky.social @profsamwass.bsky.social & more. 🔑 - stress and context still really matter, yet most studies are low-stress and lab-based. 🧐 🧪 🧵 5/7>>

After having first written about it in German in 2022 (de.in-mind.org/article/auf-...), The Inquisitive Mind magazine now also invited us to publish an English version: "On the same wavelength—Do #parents and #children understand each other better if their #brains are “in #sync”?"

With brilliant @trinhnguyen.bsky.social 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 who did most of the work in our #parent-#child #fNIRS #hyperscanning experiments (as part of our #CARE Studies: pvrticka.com/attachment/c...). @universityofessex.bsky.social #neuroskyence #DevSci #DevPsy #PsychSciSky #CogSci #attachment #psychology

Pre-print: Hold on tight! Linking emotions and actions in the infant brain 👶🧠 New EEG study on infants' action perception in the context of emotions. Led by the wonderful Elisa Roberti, great collab w Chiara Turati & Ermanno Quadrelli @univie.ac.at @kinderstudien.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

Our new preprint, led by the amazing Félix Bigand ✨, shows how the brain tracks music, movement, and social coordination in real-world dyadic dance (using EEG + mTRFs)! 🧠💃

Wow this study: Simultaneous intracranial recordings of interacting brains reveal neurocognitive dynamics of human cooperation www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience

Thanks again to the speakers in our symposium on the bodily and social foundations of the self at ESCAN 2024. Such inspiring thoughts and findings! So much exciting work is being done by these incredible people 😍🤩 @trinhnguyen.bsky.social , @annaciaunica.bsky.social , Shir Atzil & Jane Aspell
