- In our latest preprint, we show that goosebumps are not just the large, obvious bumps you might think of. In fact, small, subtle twitches are by far the most frequent. We also show some problems with the Gooselab analysis routine. Check out the preprint to learn more: osf.io/preprints/ps...
- New preprint! For a few years we've been studying goosebumps in my lab and we've learned ALOT about this physiological response. Our latest preprint shows that goosebumps and emotions might not be as strongly connected as many assume. Check it out! osf.io/preprints/ps...
- In this preprint, we answered a simple question I am asked all the time: "Do people continue to get goosebumps if you show them the same video over and over?" Why, yes. Yes they do. But this Q points to a larger assumption about the link between goosebumps and emotions...
- This is our 2nd year running the Behaviour and Physiology Group (BPG) with UG, PG, and postdoc researchers. This week year 3 RAs presented their final year theses. It’s cool to see all their different ideas and earlier years can get a chance to see some examples for next year!
- Can you help? A few of us want to put in a bid to build an interdisciplinary centre focusing on mass spectrometry for biomarkers. The idea is to provide researchers services for processing bio or physio samples for cheaper prices. Right now we are just gathering EOI 👉 forms.office.com/e/Pim5ShU2vS
- Absolutely this. I always wonder how grant funders can be so out of touch with reality. Grant writing is a waste of time. Time for a change. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- New preprint!
