Learn more about this new study investigating the neural correlates of neural correlates of emotion regulation in adults with compared to adults with heighten emotion dysregulation below. 🧠

“Thus far, it has been unclear whether misophonia distress and regulation of associated emotions involve unique neural mechanisms compared to other forms of emotion dysregulation. To investigate this, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to understand how the neural signature of misophonic reactivity and regulation in adults with misophonia compared to a clinical control group of adults with high emotion dysregulation. Our findings show that some neural responses (e.g., prefrontal cortex activation) are shared between misophonic and non-misophonic adults, while other neural responses (e.g., insula connectivity during regulation of misophonic distress) are specific to adults with misophonia. This work highlights brain regions of interest for both the adaptation of existing neuroscience-based interventions as well as the development of new, targeted interventions.” - Nimesha Gerlus, MD/PhD Candidate at Duke University

One of our PhD students, Yanyan Shan, presented results from the first ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study of real-time emotional responses in at the 100 Years of Innovation: Duke Graduate Research Fair earlier today!🔬

Yanyan did an amazing job disseminating these results and spreading awareness to the broader Duke community. She even had this awesome handout (slide 2) that will help advance awareness efforts on and off campus. 🤗

Join us later this Wednesday for our next quarterly webinar with Dr. Tana Carson!
 
Dr. Tana Carson is an Associate Professor whose research focuses on improving the health, safety, and quality of life of children with autism and their families. Her work centers on two critical yet understudied areas: decreased sound tolerance (DST) and drowning prevention. Through multidisciplinary collaborations spanning audiology, psychology, rehabilitation sciences, and aquatics, she has developed innovative assessment tools, interventions, and training programs that address significant gaps in clinical practice. Dr. Carson has made significant contributions to DST research in autism. Her studies have established the high prevalence of auditory sensory over-responsivity in autistic children and led to the development of pioneering assessment tools, including the Pediatric Hyperacusis Questionnaire (PHQ) and the Pediatric Misophonia and Hyperacusis Questionnaire (PMHQ), which are being adopted and studied worldwide. She has also created a novel occupational therapy intervention integrating sensory regulation, cognitive behavioral strategies, and behavioral management techniques.
 
Registration is required to attend. The webinar will be recorded and posted to our YouTube channel, , following the event.

UPDATE: UW’s study is now full at this time, so they are no longer accepting participants. We appreciate your interest and quick response.

Researchers at the University of Washington are recruiting participants for a study testing new semantic sound-suppression technology based on deep learning for people with misophonia. To learn more, click the link in our bio.

Our Clinical Research Coordinator, Emily Gates, led our Center in a qualitative study examining firsthand accounts of early experiences with .

Several themes emerged: 1) Concealment, 2) Psychological Distress, 3) Course Variability, 4) Heterogeneity of Misophonic Cues, 5) Coping Mechanisms and Management Strategies, 6) Barriers to Coping, and 7) Theories of Causality

STILL TOME TO REGISTER FOR THIS CE EVENT

For individuals with misophonia, common sounds can trigger distress that leads to occupational disruption—limiting social participation, work, and education. This webinar will provide occupational therapy practitioners with the knowledge to assess and intervene effectively.

Don't miss this chance to learn from the Director of the Duke Center for Misophonia and Emotion Regulation.
