Online Now: Four missing keystones in the evolutionary origins of music

Super excited to share new preprint from our amazing PhD student @ale-dabr.bsky.social, showing that people’s social network properties are embodied in low-level social interaction dynamics, modulating who leads, who follows, & who encodes another’s movements more! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Personal network features are embodied in real-time social interaction dynamics

People navigate dozens of social interactions daily. Through these, they construct and maintain diverse social networks. While personal dispositions drive how people interact and connect others, the r...

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

Dyads merely looking at each other synchronize autonomic physiology, including heart rate, pupil diameter, breathing rate, and skin conductance. Synchrony in some of these measures co-occurs with syn...

🫁❤️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...

The social, decoupled self: interpersonal synchronization of breathing alters intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling

People synchronize their periodic behavioural and physiological rhythms with each other during social interaction. While this interpersonal synchronization has largely been associated with positive ef...

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...

Development of Auditory and Spontaneous Movement Responses to Music over the First Year of Life

Humans across cultures not only share the ability to recognise music but also respond to it through movement. While the sensory encoding of music is well-studied, when and how infants naturally start ...

Update: Our biomechanics EMG/Posture study on voice and upper limb kinetics has been accepted at Proceedings B. We show that moving the arms (while manipulating mass) recruits (postural) muscles that interact with the voice through respiratory interactions. Postprint: wimpouw.com/files/Pouwet...

How accurately can we estimate spontaneous body kinematics from video recordings? Effect of movement amplitude on OpenPose accuracy link.springer.com/article/10.3... OpenPose (OP) vs Vicon (ground truth). OP: overall moderate/varies substantially across participants & body parts > small motion = bad

How well can video-based methods estimate body kinematics? In my recent paper with @giacomonovembre.bsky.social, we show that accuracy of one such method (OpenPose) varied substantially across subjects & body parts. Interestingly, this accuracy strongly depended on the movement amplitude. t.ly/4Tlnc
