Thank you so much Maria, glad you like it 😄
One of the funnest expts we did in a while. Great to see this out in Communications Psychology now: Acute stress promotes effort mobilisation for safety-related goals. Thanks for the kind and helpful comments from all reviewers 🙏 #neuroscience#Neuroskyence#cogpsyc#AffectSci#psychscisky
People who underwent acute stress tended to prioritize safety over effort minimization. This led stressed people to mobilize more effort than non-stressed people to avoid threats that have a low proba...

New paper out led by Xavier Job at @elife.bsky.socialelifesciences.org/articles/90912 We tested two opposing hypotheses of how action influences somatosensory perception! We show that action does not enhance but attenuates self-touch compared to identical touch in the absence of action
A series of pre-registered psychophysical studies on self-touch tested two opposing models of somatosensory attenuation (cancelation) and enhancement (sharpening) regarding how action affects percepti...
