How does #misophonia develop in children? @rose_dekock and @erin_e_hannon aim to answer this question within their misophonia research! #MRFAnnualMeeting

With #Misophonia, there's no one-size-fits-all approach. It's imperative to have diverse perspectives researching the disorder.
Let's chat about how your work can be applied to #MisophoniaResearch! Meet us at our booth #1831 at #SfN24.

Three moms of misophones walk into a #misophonia podcast and deliver an instant classic!
This is the Family Episode where Dr. Brout, Mary, and Liz get into real talk on how misophonia has affected life at home and how the family copes.

Huge shoutout to @ucilibraries and @UCIAA for allowing alumni to access scientific journals and articles after graduation. As a PhD alumna, my biggest fear was losing this, and I’m so happy I can still access the science directly 🙌🏻

A few key takeaways from this study:
1) Misophonic reactions seem to be common across people, even in those who may not have misophonia at a clinical level.

3) To our surprise, self-reported general musicality does not correlate with misophonic, ASMR, or musical chills reactions. Stay tuned for our next study where we look more in depth at auditory and music perception tasks in person with kids and adults!
