BPS Offices, London. 5 February 2027 Further details and registration information coming soon.

What is it like to work in the Wider Psychological Workforce? We sat down with Robin Coakley, a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, to chat about what she loves about the role & how BPS membership has supported her career. 👉https://www.bps.org.uk/blog/shining-light-wider-psychological-workforce

Very interesting findings. I actually would have expected an interoceptive cycle like this to have an affect on the feeling of agency (and that this might be relevant for retraining sense of agency in conditions like FND). But this study suggests maybe not!

But what about sense of agency? Using intentional binding, we separated agency over actions and agency over outcomes. ❌To our surprise, agency over actions was unaffected by cardio-respiratory phase. Bodily rhythms didn’t seem to change the prospective feeling of controlling an action. [3/5]

Cardiac phase does not affect action binding (i.e., sense of control over actions) nor tone binding (i.e., sense of control over sensory outcomes).

We are pleased to invite PSI DoN Associate Members to apply for this opportunity These bursaries aim to support our early career members to attend the INS mid-year meeting by covering, fully (junior/trainee) or in substantial part (member), early bird registration fees. Keep an eye on our socials!
