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
🌟 @SergeThill is the new Scientific Director of the Donders Centre for Cognition! With expertise in cognitive science & AI, he aims to strengthen interdisciplinary research. He succeeds James McQueen—best of luck, Serge! 🚀 👉 Read more: ru.nl/en/donders-ins…
Check out our new study - a placebo controlled, randomized trial of peripheral vs central beta blockade on cardiac and respiratory interoception!
1/ We can measure interoception in many aspects, but can we actually manipulate it? I’m excited to share our new study, which shows that blockade of peripheral beta-adrenergic pathways improves cardiac and respiratory interoception in unique ways! 🧵👇biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
You asked for it? You got it! 🥳 Submit your #BRNet abstract by March 14th. All submissions related to body representations are welcome! bodyrepresentation.wixsite.com/brnet/general-…

Excited to share a new lab preprint - led by @MartinezAddiego, @YuqiLiu95703261, 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…
📢📢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 @ComIntDK @felix_putze @BenGodde @theactiveself osf.io/preprints/psya…
1/ New in @ScienceMagazine 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…
🧵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🧠

I cannot believe this is AI video - we've come insanely far in the last year (Veo 2)
