After an exciting talk regarding positive affect and internalizing symptoms happening at #SPR2026 I had a conversation with someone who said, “this just makes me question everything” and question everything we did! From savoring, desires to worry, discrimination training, and chronic stress, (1/2)

Refreshing to see so many young Psychophysiological researchers gathering to mingle and share ideas! #SPR2026 #studentsocial @therealspr.bsky.social

The #SPR2026 Faces of the Future Flash Talks were a hit! Brief summaries of each talk are below

I am so excited to see conversations about improving psychophysiological methods in autism science at @therealspr.bsky.social !! it's important that our understanding of psychophys addresses the wide spectrum of variability. Nice job @kaydenstockwell.bsky.social putting together this symposium!!

Cloze-ing out a day of symposia at #SPR2026 symposium "Using electrophysiology to study lifespan changes in inter-related language and memory mechanisms"! From Alfred Hitchcock to Harry Potter knowledge, it's fascinating to see how researchers study language development. @therealspr.bsky.social

Great talk at #SPR2026 on stress activity and inflammation in depression! Speakers demonstrated promising interventions with positive affect and inflammation, importance on perceived stress on inflammation for individuals with HIV, (1/2)

The cerebellum might be ‘the little brain’, but it certainly plays a critical role cognitively. Thank you to the presenters below for great talks and engaging responses to questions!

This is the 20th year of the Women in Science Education (WISE) Luncheon at the Society for Psychophysiological Research! Drs. Wendy Heller, Chris Larson, and Erin Hazlett served as panelists to reflect on the past & future of WISE at SPR! #SPR2026

Enjoyed “The Deep Side of the Human Mind: Body–Brain Interactions Shape Cognition and Emotion”! Learning how breathing, physiological feedback, and heart & gut signals shape emotions sparked ideas for future interventions. #SPR2026 @therealspr.bsky.social

Cognitive aging doesn't happen in isolation. The 4 talks shared within the symposium "Brains in Context: Neuroimaging, Lifestyle, and the Trajectory of Cognitive Aging" looks into aging across angles; from stress, physical activity, broader health risks and social engagement. @therealspr.bsky.social

Symposium 2.3: Neuroimaging Insights into Cognitive Contributions of the Cerebellum is kicking off soon, 1:30pm, in Convention Hall C3! Our presenters are as follows:
1) Dr. Desmond
2) Dr. Peterburs
3) Dr. Bernard
4) Dr. Paitel

So much to take away from Dr. Beatriz Luna’s #SPR2026 keynote! From neural timescales and aperiodic EEG to GABA/glutamate balance, intracortical myelination, dopamine, reward, and habitual behavior, the talk highlighted the many interacting changes shaping adolescent development.

Howdy Halifax! Taking part in a symposium tomorrow at #SPR2026. If you're around, swing by Hall C3 to learn about "Using Electrophysiology to Study #Lifespan Changes in Inter-Related #Language and #Memory Mechanisms".

Symposium on frontal alpha asymmetry LIVE NOW! We have seen very interesting manipulations and novel findings on the moderating effects of mood and urgency on the FAA. Looking forward to the upcoming talks on rTMS and hd-tDCS studies investigating the role of dlPFC! #spr2026 @therealspr.bsky.social

Nothing like threat perception in the morning! Especially when it starts with animal videos.
Some great new ERP findings presented at Symposium 1.3 (Orienting and Defence Across Levels of Analysis), like the the effects of facial spatial frequency and ability to avoid threat @therealspr.bsky.social

#2026SPR Attended symposium on interpersonal alignment across contexts: Exploring inter-brain synchrony, shared experiences in relationships, feeling heard, and human-AI connection. Fascinating perspectives on how we connect in different contexts!

@therealspr.bsky.social

Starting the morning off at #SPR2026 with a Big Idea Symposium: "Inferring Mechanism from Physiological Measures"! Some amazing work on understanding fear generalization, autonomic regulation, reward positivity, fear-biased attention and telomere length, and more. @therealspr.bsky.social

Are social stimuli the best feedback stimuli?
Fantastic collaboration with @corinnalorenz.bsky.social and Nicola Ferdinand

At the #SPR2026 preconf workshop on dyadic synchrony, Dr. Nilam Ram walked us through how Claude helped him model dyadic data. We also shared about our apprehension about using AI in our own work. The future of the physio synchrony and AI in autism science is unexplored! @therealspr.bsky.social
