Assisting pandiculation?

It has just been published electronically our new article, in which we further discuss the possible links between MR and pandiculation. Deepening our understanding of such an intriguing behavior has strengthened our hypotheses, i.e., that MR evokes instinctual homeostatic behaviors. In this sense, could such manual approach be described as "assisted pandiculation"?

2010, busy year

2010 was a very busy year. We published three articles (two available by the links below and the third is in press, and is related to pandiculation and its possible relationship with MR. In May we presented a workshop at the IASI Symposium in Denver, in June we presented in the 1st International Congress on Yawning, in Paris. This event strengthened our hypotheses, i.e., that Muscle Repositioning evokes responses that are related to pandiculation. Now we post some videos depicting pandiculation-like responses of clients during -and after- MR maneuvers (as some responses outlast the touch itself and self-perpetuate).
