Research Fellow at Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UCL studying social interactions.
🚨 Preprint alert 🚨
"Heart rate synchrony in minimal social interactions in relation to mimicry" 🔗 osf.io/preprints/ps...
🔬 We tested whether two distinct forms of mimicry: motor mimicry (copying actions) and choice mimicry (copying choices) can modulate heart rate synchrony.

Excited to share our new paper on "neural mechanisms underlying the interactive exchange of facial expressions"
We used both EMG and EEG to study whether "sending" an emotional expression influences "receiving"

Neural mechanisms underlying the interactive exchange of facial emotional expressions
Abstract. Facial emotional expressions are crucial in face-to-face social interactions, and recent findings have highlighted their interactive nature. Howe

Does your heartbeat shape your sense of time?
Do you ever feel like time slows down when you’re bored but flies when you’re having fun? Cognitive neuroscientist Irena Arslanova explores the ways your brain and heart shape your perception of time,...

🚨New preprint 🚨
What are the neural systems of being mimicked? Do choice and motor mimicry have similar effects? And finally, where the social glue might be located in the brain?
