When people are close—both physically and emotionally—their heart rates rise and fall in sync. A study of students visiting New York City finds that social familiarity increases heart rate synchrony in real-world settings. In PNAS Nexus: https://ow.ly/kHGc50ZhEWI

Our new paper on heart rate synchrony in real-world settings is out in PNAS Nexus! Led by the amazing @hanluhe.bsky.social, see 👇 It came out yesterday, exactly 18 years since we conducted our first HR sync study between performers and spectators of a fire-walking ritual. @carlsbergfondet.dk

Excited to share that my first paper "Heart rate synchrony as a marker of real-world social engagement" is now published in PNAS Nexus The full article can be accessed here: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar... @sinelabdtu.bsky.social

Very excited for my paper with @giacomonovembre.bsky.social on spontaneous emergence of #Interpersonal #Physiological #Synchrony (IPS). We show that, even without a structured task, your autonomic bodily signals synchronize with another person just by looking at them! doi.org/10.1111/nyas... 🧵 1/6

Our paper is now published in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences! nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @carlsbergfondet.dk See summary 👇

New preprint! My first time using #virtualreality: we investigate how scene context / being in a (virtual) environment affects action representations. Together with @leonkroczek.bsky.social, Michael Roidl, and Angelika Lingnau @uniregensburg.bsky.social Read here: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

New preprint: "Bodily Rhythms Gate Action–Perception Coupling" Cardiorespiratory cycles gate when it's best to sense & act on the world, shaping when precision peaks Active sensing + Interoception + Active inference 🧠 🔗 bit.ly/3MinQIi w/ @micahgallen.com; Lucas Naranjo; @jameskilner.bsky.social

Check out our brilliant PhD student Hanlu He's @hanluhe.bsky.social 1st paper on heart-rate synchrony in real-world urban environments, replicated across 3 datasets recorded in NYC! HR sync is enhanced by social proximity, familiarity, social context, and better acoustic conditions. 🧵👇

🫀 New preprint alert! 🌆 Thrilled to share the first paper of my PhD on heart-rate synchrony during social interactions in urban environments. @sinelabdtu.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🫁❤️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...

CALL for papers: special issue on joint action in Acta Psychologica! #jointaction We invite empirical, computational, and theoretical contributions. Deadline to submit: Feb. 1/2026. Please find more information here, and share widely: www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

Exciting new paper in Emotion led by @ndersen.bsky.social, showing that heart rate synchrony is enhanced by social closeness and associated with increased subjective arousal during a haunted house experience 🧟🧟‍♀️! See 🧵👇:
