Psychophysiology of Physical Sensations and Emotions Research Group
The focus of our research is on bodily sensations and their perception (interoception) and emotions; and the psychophysiological and psychological processes associated with them. We investigate bodily sensations with behavioral tasks, focusing on either elementary events (e.g. heartbeat, perception of stomach distress, EEG) or complex phenomena (e.g. emotion elicitation, stressful situations). In addition, we also investigate the perception of bodily sensations and emotions using questionnaires, focusing on the individual's own beliefs about their perceptual abilities.
