DESCRIPTION:<p>Please note that this talk is at 11am-12pm Melbourne time.&nbsp\;Use Australian Eastern Daylight Time when daylight savings applies (first Sunday in October to first Sunday in April).&nbsp\;Use Australian Eastern Standard Time for rest of the time.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Description:</strong>Boredom has been cast as a call to action\, a self-regulatory signal prompting us to explore our environs for something more meaningful or purposeful to engage with. This casts the trait propensity to experience boredom frequently and intensely &ndash\; so-called boredom proneness &ndash\; as a conundrum\; the recognition of the need for something meaningful to engage with\, coupled with the failure to launch into action. I will present data from neuroimaging (fMRI\, EEG) work and individual differences studies to show that boredom proneness can be cast as both a disengaged attentional state and a struggle to establish a sense of agency. In addition\, I will show some recent work from our lab exploring the role of interoceptive awareness in boredom proneness. This work suggests that the highly boredom prone are hyper-aware of internal states but confused by them. This confluence may underlie the felt challenge to agency that is characteristic of boredom.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Zoom link</strong>: Please click this URL to start or join. https://monash.zoom.us/j/88243480297?pwd=OTFWbmUvRExFa29SbGF6a1Nzd2pmdz09</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Or\, go to https://monash.zoom.us/join and enter meeting ID: 882 4348 0297 and passcode: 242124</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Ensure your device has a dedicated microphone and webcam.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; **Please do not share these details with those not on the participant list**</p>\n\n<p>Join from a dial-in phone:</p>\n\n<p>Dial: +61 3 990 59666 [+61 3 9905 ZOOM] or +61 2 8015 2088</p>\n<p>Meeting ID: 882 4348 0297</p>\n<p>International numbers available: https://monash.zoom.us/u/kbxmiMtCkY</p>\n\n<p>Meeting ID: 882 4348 0297</p>\n<p>Passcode: 242124</p>\n
