Projects
- Haptic Biofeedback Technology for Arousal Coregulation (‘Teddy Bear’)
- Dobrushina, Olga (Principal Investigator) Delafield-Butt, Jonathan (Co-investigator) Flowers, Paul (Co-investigator)
- This project develops and evaluates a soft, sensor-embedded toy, ‘Teddy Bear,’ that provides real-time heartbeat feedback to enhance interoceptive awareness and arousal regulation. Building on a previous proof-of-concept lab study, which demonstrated the efficacy of the core technology in healthy participants (Dobrushina, Tamim, Wald, Maimon, & Amedi, 2024), we transition to a user-friendly, naturalistic transitional object and move towards real-world clinical applications.
