In this project, we investigated the emerging sense of self in infancy by focusing on the role of embodied interactions, e.g., through the sensing of internal bodily signals such as the heartbeat, to understand how a sense of self is constructed.
This research was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) – project number KA 4926/1-1.
