Overview

James M. Kilner is affiliated with University College London in the United Kingdom. Their research spans multiple domains within neuroscience, medicine, and psychology, with a notable focus on cognitive neuroscience and social psychology.

The scientist's work has concentrated on understanding the interaction between bodily processes and cognitive functions, particularly in areas such as action observation and synchronization, psychosomatic disorders and their treatments, and neural and behavioral psychology studies. Additional topics of research include embodied and extended cognition, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, neural dynamics and brain function, and autism spectrum disorder research.

James M. Kilner has published in a range of scientific venues, including:

  • Physics of Life Reviews
  • Heart Lung and Circulation
  • eLife
  • Autism
  • Cognition

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Kilner include Alejandro Galvez-Pol, Pavandeep Virdee, Javier Villacampa, Eleanor R. Palser, and Aikaterini Fotopoulou.

Selected recent papers demonstrate the breadth of their research interests:

  • Active tactile discrimination is coupled with and modulated by the cardiac cycle (2022, eLife)
  • Reduced differentiation of emotion-associated bodily sensations in autism (2021, Autism)
  • Relationship between cardiac cycle and the timing of actions during action execution and observation (2021, Cognition)
  • Emotional representations of space vary as a function of peoples' affect and interoceptive sensibility (2021, Scientific Reports)
  • People can identify the likely owner of heartbeats by looking at individuals' faces (2022, Cortex)

Their research integrates physiological signals such as cardiac activity with perceptual and cognitive processes, especially relating to the timing and synchronization of actions in social contexts. This is reflected in their focus on the cardiac cycle's influence on sensory discrimination and the emotional representation of bodily sensations.

James M. Kilner's academic pursuits contribute to understanding the neural underpinnings of cognition and behavior, merging perspectives from neuroscience and psychology to investigate how internal bodily states interact with external social and environmental stimuli.
