Here I investigated the measurement of interoception, it’s developmental trajectory and the relationship between interoception, health and higher order cognition. In April 2020 I took up a lectureship (assistant professor) position at Royal Holloway University of London. In March 2024 I took up a senior lectureship (associate professor) position at the University of Surrey. I am particularly interested in sex differences in interoceptive abilities, including how these emerge across development and whether they relate to sex differences in mental and physical health. To find out more about me, please see my CV. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/6986ffbe-1988-4983-bbf5-3892b0b4904b/Ren.jpg Meet the team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/4fea5143-d2f1-410e-be36-91983cea0ed5/Ria.png Meet the team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/b45c60fb-f3d5-4426-b9fd-e826a69943d4/IMG_8770+2.png Meet the team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/28bf0103-41fb-4fc0-bfcd-598a8b2318bb/V-website2.png Meet the team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/6ced8bb4-90ee-48ab-ba77-488a31dec593/Jodie.jpg Meet the team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/629ea991-b7bd-482c-b2b1-7e4c650869ef/Charlotte+pic.jpg Meet the team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/00ed7319-5d43-4ff1-83b7-2bba38cadfb9/social1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/c44ec7b1-c74d-47ab-b666-9be630535d83/Social4.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/9bdb433d-c641-446e-b1b5-b33a24646e7c/Labpic2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/98680703-f51f-468f-a8e8-ecc005e6d0e5/Social2.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/385ae5b1-6811-46b2-8d0a-d441e99d2194/Social3.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/1609931045953-CAYNZE18EJOSZ4KAZ9BA/FreyaLab.jpg Meet the team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/1607792639216-G8RZZGXHD9Y2T7YW05OC/Screenshot+2020-12-12+at+16.25.49.png Meet the team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/1607940568964-BGNC8VPVMASZDN5L5RAB/Alex.jpg Meet the team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/88cb4e56-8b47-4154-b0f8-2d2b1be49297/Joanne.jpg Meet the team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/3f0d227a-0049-4b66-88fa-0a73bc1d8365/Neara.jpg Meet the team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/6e30cfe7-2654-4f9f-aed2-4067ae3e0625/Sarina.jpeg Meet the team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/f16a1263-3bb4-4e4b-bfc2-16fe64a2c4b9/Rhea.jpg Meet the team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jennymurphylab.com/home daily 1.0 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/ab153e3d-5c6d-403e-9e3f-b7ae2e294e7a/LabpicJen.jpg Home - Meet the team Find out about group members and collaborators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/1607729127004-2TJQ1781RSNVLPT3VYHY/image-asset.jpeg Home - Our research Find out more about our recent research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3fcc1fd756c1ce4d6476c/1607729173341-GZSY911PO024V0KGJZCQ/image-asset.jpeg Home - Take part!
