How do people with mental health conditions experience bodily signals? 🧠🫀🫁 Our (Gabriel Mackie) new paper in eClinicalMedicine explores lived experiences and patient priorities for interoception research. 🧵1/n sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🎉 New paper alert! 🧠 The velocity-curvature power law is one of the 'kinematic laws of nature' (Flash 2021), a 'fundamental law of human control' (Zago et al. 2016), and one of the 'kinematic regularities' (Frith & Frith 2023) thought to underlie all biological motion. 1/9

To address this, we reviewed the literature in our new open access paper "Biological kinematics: a detailed review of the velocity-curvature power law calculation". 🎉 published today in Experimental Brain Research! link.springer.com/article/10.100… #PsychSciSky 3/9
