Brain, Body, & Technology Lab

Our new paper published in @CurrentBiology challenges traditional notions of body representation. Congratulations @peviani_v @LukeMillerNeuro @pmedendorp!

🚀 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! 🌍✨

Just two weeks left to apply for the postdoc in my lab! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Care to do amazing science with a brilliant team? Apply now! 👇👇👇

Fantastic postdoc alert! 📢 As a current postdoc here, I can wholeheartedly recommend this opportunity; we are a very supportive environment with a great PI, and we can't wait to meet you!

New open postdoc position in the @BBT_lab at the @DondersInst ! We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher with an interest in the computational and neural underpinnings of body augmentation and embodiment. Deadline: 6 September, 2024 Link: ru.nl/en/working-at/…

Feedback control undistorts body representations: A possible solution to the hand paradox doi.org/10.31234/osf.i… New theory paper with @peviani_v where we take a stab at reconciling the seemingly contradictory findings of distorted body representations & optimal motor control

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 & @LukeMillerNeuro

Don't miss it!

Today, the #BRNet would like to introduce Valeria @peviani_v and Jamie @JAMoffatt . Every third Weds of every other month, get to know two of our #ECRs. Reach out if you want to be featured in the spotlight or be put in touch with either of this month's ECRs.

@GaiaRisso and I invited an amazing pair of speakers for our next @bodyrepnetwork online seminar! @AnaTajadura and Adrian Alsmith. Register for free and join us in January! 👇

Extending Tactile Space With Handheld Tools: A Re-Analysis and Review brill.com/view/journals/… This is our paper for the special issue celebrating Vincent Hayward. Very happy to see this out!

Off to Verona for the @bodyrepnetwork conference to present my first post-doc poster on finger-extending exoskeletons & tactile localization! Grateful to work with @peviani_v & @LukeMillerNeuro. Excited to share & for all the cool studies ahead! #BRNet6

Are you an #ECR attending #BRNet6 in Verona @bodyrepnetwork? Join the ECR-only session tomorrow to discuss careers, successes and failures, mobility and more! Featuring @CoelhoCog @nikaradziun @GiorgiaTosi9 and @SofiaTagini

Another paper in Valeria’s series on applying Bayesian principles to understand body perception. She’s really been on a roll this year!

Interested in postural priors? have a look at our work on Bayesian inference on arm posture perception with our amazing MSc student Manon Joosten, @LukeMillerNeuro and @pmedendorp

Check out our new preprint by @peviani_v, Manon Joosten, @LukeMillerNeuro, & @pmedendorp on Bayesian inference in arm posture perception: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

❗ 🥙 Eating disorders impact ~200,000 people in the Netherlands each year. @ValeriaPeviani studies how our brains create distorted images of our bodies, focusing on hands and fingers with VR and motion tracking for better treatment: 👉 ru.nl/en/research/re… #eatingdisorders

Very nice write up on our latest @CurrentBiology paper led by @peviani_v: radboudrecharge.nl/en/article/can…

📌 Can fine-grained spatial maps of the limb and hand-held tool be constructed based on somatosensory feedback? 📌Do spatial maps change following tool use? 🔍Check it out! Huge Thx to @peviani_v @LukeMillerNeuro @MichiBassolino for this collaboration.
