Our latest paper. Brain lesions strongly distort tDCS-induced E-fields, likely exacerbating inter-individual variability in E-field delivered by tDCS: rdcu.be/dqBQb

Coming to the end of a wonderful conference at @IASATorg's #FestivalOfTouch. Highlights include learning about all the amazing research done on touch & infants. A true honour to be able to present my work on infant visuo-tactile temporal binding amongst such lovely researchers 🫂

Our individual characteristics shape our attitudes to touch in everyday life. However, what about our attitudes to touch in treatment settings?

1/2 We often experience touch in treatment settings (massage, therapeutic etc). But we know less about what contributes to different perspectives on this. We studied this with our new Touch & Health Scale: bit.ly/3AkO0RF

1/3 Affective touch has been reported for its calming effects. Still, we know less about the impact on sleep. Latest publication from the Touch Test explores this: bit.ly/3Uqmv1a. w/ @dueren_al @ncbowling @KaterinaVafeia3 @ProfAMGregory @claudiahammond @JuanJoMadridVal

We often sleep next to another - but know little about how interpersonal touch is associated w sleep. This examined in a paper led by @dueren_al with @mbanissy @ncbowling @claudiahammond @JuanJoMadridVal and Aikaterini Vafeiadou onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Let science teach you how to hug! So many people are deprived of touch during the pandemic. Affective touch is essential for our emotional health. And a hug, when done right, is safer than a handshake (to avoid viral transmission).
