Overview

Sarah N. Garfinkel is affiliated with University College London in the United Kingdom. Their research spans multiple disciplines, including medicine, psychology, and neuroscience, with a strong focus on psychiatry and mental health as well as cognitive neuroscience and experimental and cognitive psychology. Clinical psychology and social psychology also form part of their subfield expertise.

Their work frequently addresses topics related to psychosomatic disorders and their treatments, anxiety, depression, psychometrics, treatment, and cognitive processes. Other main topics of study include mental health and psychiatry, functional brain connectivity studies, heart rate variability and autonomic control, action observation and synchronization, and neural and behavioral psychology studies.

Recent publications by Garfinkel include the following:

  • Towards a comprehensive assessment of interoception in a multi-dimensional framework (2022) in Biological Psychology
  • Computational Models of Interoception and Body Regulation (2020) in Trends in Neurosciences
  • Interoceptive pathways to understand and treat mental health conditions (2022) in Trends in Cognitive Sciences
  • Brain-body interactions underlying the association of loneliness with mental and physical health (2020) in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • Interoceptive training to target anxiety in autistic adults (ADIE): A single-center, superiority randomized controlled trial (2021) in EClinicalMedicine

Contributions have appeared frequently in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Biological Psychology, Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, Scientific Reports, and Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews.

Collaborations with other researchers are evident through coauthorship with individuals including Hugo Critchley, Lisa Quadt, Mahinda Yogarajah, Akihiro Koreki, and Marta Silva, reflecting interdisciplinary engagement and joint research efforts.
