Our latest paper shows that #Misophonia is not a disorder of sound processing, per se, but is a result manifestation of activity in motor (mirror) system involved in producing the sounds.
We are excited to share our latest work on misophonia, which is out today in the Journal of Neuroscience. jneurosci.org/content/early/… Please follow this thread for a brief description.
