Title: A hyperscanning paradigm to investigate “social interoception”
Abstract: Starting from the idea that the consciously focused attention on breath that underpins mindfulness-based interventions, controlled breathing, or even short relaxation practices has been shown to improve several cognitive and emotional processes, we aimed to explore if and how Interoceptive Attentiveness (IA) manipulation, conceived as the focused attention on the breath, may affect brain responses even during simple cognitive tasks requiring synchronization. Indeed, to date little is known about how deliberate attention to interoceptive correlates affects the performance during a social interaction that requires or necessitates the synchronization with the other partner of the dyad, such as a communication process, a teamwork dynamic, or a general interpersonal relation.
During the seminar, it will be described an ongoing hyperscanning study in which healthy participants perform cognitive and social synchronization tasks during both explicit IA and control conditions while oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin variations, EEG frequency bands power, and autonomic indices are co-registered by a BIO-EEG-fNIRS hyperscanning paradigm. This research will permit us to highlight some main important effects of brain-and-body involvement during tasks demanding synchronization.
Bio: Laura Angioletti is a licensed psychologist, Ph.D. candidate and Research Fellow at the International research center for Cognitive Applied Neuroscience (IrcCAN) and Research Unit in Affective and Social Neuroscience, Department of Psychology of Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Milan, in Italy. At the same university, she is contract professor for the 2nd-level post-graduate master’s degree in behavioral neuroscience. She is currently working on interoception, empathy and motivational drives related to different clinical and health domains. She is mostly enthusiastic by projects that integrate neurophysiological measures with behavioural and neuropsychological testing. She gained a well-established expertise in the management and integration of neuroscientific devices such as electroencephalogram (EEG/ERPs), non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS), biofeedback (autonomic indices) and functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). She is an associated member of Italian Association of Psychology (AIP), a member of the AIP NeuPot working group on cognitive and neurocognitive enhancement, and Society of psychologists in the neuropsychological area (SPAN). She is also in the Editorial Staff of the international journal Neuropsychological Trends.
