Eszter Ferentzi is an Associate Professor at Eötvös Loránd University, affiliated with the Institute of Health Development and Sports Sciences within the Faculty of Education and Psychology. Her research focuses on interoception—the perception of internal bodily signals—and its relationship with psychological functions such as emotion regulation, stress, and body awareness. She leads the György Ádám Psychophysiological Research Group, investigating topics like the placebo/nocebo phenomenon, yoga’s effects on interoception, and the psychophysiological basis of bodily sensations. Educationally, Ferentzi holds a PhD in psychology and philosophy, with her doctoral work centered on interoception. Her current research critically evaluates interoceptive measurement tools (e.g., questionnaires and perceptual tests) and explores how bodily signals influence psychological states. She has authored numerous articles on interoceptive accuracy, proprioception, and experimental studies on stress and perception. Her work bridges theoretical and empirical approaches, emphasizing the validation of interoceptive measures and their clinical implications. Key areas include cardiac and gastric interoception, the role of expectation in perception, and the longitudinal effects of yoga training on bodily awareness. Ferentzi’s research also examines pandemic-related behaviors, such as health anxiety and protective measures during the COVID-19 crisis. She actively contributes to academic discourse through her publications in journals like *Trends in Cognitive Sciences* and *Frontiers in Human Neuroscience*.

Maria Kovacs, PhD, serves as Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Her clinical practice focuses on treating depressed children and adolescents, while her educational contributions include postdoctoral fellow mentorship and psychiatry resident clinical training. Her academic background includes: PhD in Psychology, University of Pennsylvania Dr. Kovacs' research program centers on juvenile depressive disorders , with primary investigation into the course and outcomes of these conditions, emotion regulation as a depression risk factor, and long-term health consequences of early-onset depression. A critical focus is maladaptive mood repair —the inability to effectively regulate sadness—which her work identifies as a fundamental pathway to suicidal behaviors. Analysis of her 2015-2020 publications reveals consistent integration of psychological and physiological methodologies. Her research demonstrates how depression impacts cardiac autonomic function and establishes mood repair deficits as stronger suicide predictors than prior suicidal behavior, highlighting intervention opportunities through emotion regulation training. Within academic training programs, Dr. Kovacs actively shapes future clinicians through structured postdoctoral education and resident supervision in child/adolescent depression treatment protocols.
