Jan Willem de Gee (PI) and Romke Rouw (Co-PI; FMG) received a Research Impact Award from the Misophonia Research Fund. Misophonia is characterised by intense and involuntary stress responses (disgust, anger, or even panic) to certain, often human-made, sounds (e.g., chewing). The grant will be used to (i) develop webcam-based pupillometry as a sensitive, affordable and objective measurement tool of the misophonic response, and (ii) characterise the subcortical neuromodulatory mechanisms with 7T fMRI.
