Bio
Hi! I'm Johann Roland Kleinbub, PhD. I have a post doc position at the University of Padova (Italy). My research areas are interpersonal physiology and nonverbal synchronization in psychotherapy. I have experience in research on altered states of consciousness, such as hypnosis and mindfulness, in the framework of clinical psychology.
I am a fluent R programmer, for which I have developed:
- rMEA (GitHub, CRAN)
- a package for the analysis of dyadic Motion Energy data
- DyadSync (GitHub beta)
- a full set of tools for the analysis of interpersonal physiology / physiological synchronization
