My recent research extends embodied and interoceptive approaches to the study of the self. I am interested in understanding how bodily experience contributes to the organization, continuity, and coherence of the sense of self, and how these processes support adaptation to change.
A central focus of this emerging research line is Self-Coherence, conceived as a higher-order organizational process through which different dimensions of selfhood—including embodiment, identity, and continuity over time—are integrated into a sufficiently stable yet flexible organization.
This work also examines the relationships between embodied aspects of the self, identity coherence, and temporal self-continuity, with the broader aim of understanding how a coherent sense of self is maintained despite ongoing bodily, psychological, and contextual change.
