About the researchers:
Dr. Silia Vitoratou and Dr. Jane Gregory both have misophonia. Their passion project was creating the S-Five [Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome Scale], a questionnaire that captures the complexity of the misophonia experience, which can be used in research and therapy. They are now working with researchers around the world to translate this questionnaire and learn more about misophonia in different cultures.
They will be talking about the five key areas of misophonia that came out of their research with thousands of individuals with misophonia. They also have some brand new research to talk about, looking at the things we do to try to cope with misophonia and the things we fear will happen as a result of having misophonia.
Dr. Silia Vitoratou, is a lecturer in Psychometrics and Measurements at King’s College, London. Silia uses fancy maths to try to capture things that we can't measure directly, like emotional experiences and psychological traits. She is the founder of a misophonia research group in London.
Dr. Jane Gregory is a clinical psychologist researching misophonia at the University of Oxford. She is researching what keeps misophonia going and how we might use cognitive-behavioral therapies to help individuals with misophonia.
