Can pupil size detect signatures of math anxiety in young adults?
In a new preprint we attempt to respond to the question. In short: math anxiety and low math performance are deeply ingrained in young adults, which makes it hard to disentangle these two aspects. Pupillometry does show, however, that cognitive effort is prolonged, rather than accentuated, in young adults with high levels of test (i.e., performance) anxiety.

Pupil size as a robust marker of attentional bias toward nicotine-related stimuli in smokers
Spatial attention can be magnetically attracted by behaviorally salient stimuli. This phenomenon occasionally conflicts with behavioral goals, leading to maladaptive consequences, as in the case of addiction, in which attentional biases have been described and linked with clinically meaningful variables, such as craving level or dependence intensity.

Close facial emotions enhance physiological responses and facilitate perceptual discrimination
Accumulating evidence indicates that the peripersonal space (PPS) constitutes a privileged area for efficient processing of proximal stimuli, allowing to flexibly adapt our behavior both to the physical and social environment.

The role of the vestibular system in value attribution to positive and negative reinforcers
Somatic inputs originating from bioregulatory processes can guide cognition and behavior. One such bodily signal, mostly overlooked so far, is represented by visuo-vestibular coupling and its alteration, which in extreme cases may result in motion sickness.
