Pupillometry as an integrated readout of distinct attentional networks
The course of pupillary constriction and dilation provides an easy-to-access, inexpensive,
and noninvasive readout of brain activity. We propose a new taxonomy of factors affecting …

Narratives engage brain and body: bidirectional interactions during natural story listening
It is often said that the body and the mind are connected. Yet, direct evidence of a
bidirectional link is elusive. We hypothesized a top-down effect of cognition on arousal, and …
