I am very much looking forward to my @oxpip.bsky.social online lecture on #Attachment and #Child #Development: From #Myths to Modern #Neuroscience. 📅 03 October 2025, 13:00-15:00 🎟️ Tickets are still available: tickets.sheepcrm.com/.../67ee7a6a... It would be a great pleasure to see you there.

New study from the @soneatlab.bsky.social: Securely stressed: association between #attachment and empathic #stress in romantic couples 👉🏻 doi.org/10.1038/s415... Secure attachment can be both a ✅ resilience and a potential ⚠️ risk factor within romantic relationships under stress.

The #SoNeAt Lab (Dept. of #Psychology, @universityofessex.bsky.social) had a great time at #FLUX2025 / @fluxsociety.bsky.social in #Dublin! Our #PhDs Laura & Ricky very successfully presented their posters and our PI @pvrticka.bsky.social his symposium talk on #fNIRS #hyperscanning. Thank you 🙏🏻!

Now happening at #FLUX2025 @fluxsociety.bsky.social 👇🏻 Interested in #fNIRS #hyperscanning in #parent #child dyads & #families? Check out our posters & talk by my @soneatlab.bsky.social ! And do let me know if you want to meet for a chat 😊.

Our lab had a great time at today's Dept of #Psychology (Uni of #Essex) #PGR #Conference, where our 3 #PhD students Laura, Ricky and Anil presented their #TRIO study posters. Very well done everybody! And congrats to Anil for winning the best poster prize 🥳🎉🙌🏻! #PsychSciSky #DevPsy #fNIRS

I’m thrilled to be featured in the newest issue of The Rubin Museum's #SpiralMagazine - now available for free! My contribution "The #bonds that define us" looks at #attachment theory through the lens of #social neuroscience. rubinmuseum.org/spiral/the-b... #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence

#Attachment #MythBusting #07 #PolyvagalTheory (PVT) is very prominent in the context of #attachment and #trauma. However, it is not supported by current #physiology literature. This has important implications. pvrticka.com/attachment-m... #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence

#Attachment #MythBusting #04 The #neurobiology of attachment is often explained based on the Triune Brain Model. But this model is a myth and its use misleading. The human #brain is adaptive, not triune – and this adaptiveness is key for attachment! pvrticka.com/attachment-m...

Huge congratulations to the UK Charity #Babygro (babygro.org) for being awarded £10,000 from the #Cornwall Community Foundation 🥳🎉! The funding will enable Babygro to provide more courses and sessions for #parents and #children, partially based on our #NAMA inspired by #attachmenttheory.
