🚀 Ready for #BRNet7? 🚀 Join us in vibrant Utrecht to explore how the #brain represents the #body using #computational approaches! 🧠💡 🔗 Submit your abstract by March 1st! bodyrepresentation.wixsite.com/brnet/general-… Don't miss out on shaping the future of body representation research! 🌍✨

🧵1/5 🌡️#Thermosensory signals may contribute to the sense of body #ownership🖐️, yet their role remains highly debated. In our new study, we test this assumption within the framework of pathological body ownership after right-brain #stroke🧠

1/ New in Science Magazine our study "Tactile edges and motion via patterned microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex". 🦾 🧠 ⚡ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Interesting related perspective by prof. Paul Marasco science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

📢📢Excited to share our latest research "Task Load Affects Tool Embodiment During Virtual Tool-use Training with Visual and Visuo-tactile Modalities in Healthy Aging". 🧠✨ A nice collaboration with Dennis Küster Felix Putze NeuroLab@CU SPP The Active Self osf.io/preprints/psya…

Excited to share a new lab preprint - led by Flo, Yuqi Liu, in collaboration with @CulhamARI_Lab. We tested what drives the (re?)organization of motor tool-use areas in people born without hands, who use tools with their feet instead. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Humans project tactile sensations from a tool into space, as if part of the body. How? We show tactile feedback is projected into gaze-centered coordinates, offering a framework for tool-based sensory projection. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… by Zografos, Medendorp & Luke E. Miller
