Running together influences where you look
Perception. 2024 Feb 26:3010066241235112. doi: 10.1177/03010066241235112. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo read this article, you have to constantly direct your gaze at the words on the page. If you go for a run instead, your gaze will be less constrained, so many factors could influence where you look.

Fibromyalgia is linked to increased subjective sensory sensitivity across multiple senses
Perception. 2024 Feb 26:3010066241234037. doi: 10.1177/03010066241234037. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChanges in subjective sensory sensitivity - reporting sensory stimuli as being atypically intense or weak - are a transdiagnostic symptom of several disorders. The present study documents for the first time the sensory sensitivity profile of fibromyalgia, taking a questionnaire measure that asks about different sensory modalities and both hyper- and hyposensitivity (the Glasgow Sensory Questionnaire, GSQ). The fibromyalgia group had higher overall scores on this measure. This was linked more strongly to sensory hypersens...

Spice up the moment: The influence of spicy taste on people's metaphorical perspectives on time
Perception. 2024 Feb 8:3010066241229269. doi: 10.1177/03010066241229269. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEmbodied cognition contends that sensorimotor experiences undergird cognitive processes. Three embodied cross-domain metaphorical mappings constitute quintessential illustrations: spatial navigation and orientation underpin the conceptualization of time and emotion and gustatory sensation underlies the formulation of emotion. Threading together these strands of insights, the present research consisted of three studies explored the potential influence of spicy taste on people's metaphorical perspectives on time. The result...
