Dr. Jennifer Murphy is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Surrey, investigating interoception (perception of bodily states) and its role in mental health across development. Her award-winning research examines sex differences in physiological awareness and connections to anxiety, autism, and emotional processing.
