Throwback to the poster sessions at #BRNet2025 where our brilliant master’s and PhD students from the Brain, Body, and Technology Lab presented their fantastic work!

Each of their posters deserves its own spotlight; we’ll be sharing them in the thread below 👇

How does the brain integrate artificial body extensions? Using a custom-built finger-extending exoskeleton, we show that wearable augmentations are quickly integrated into body representation, with proprioceptive space adapting to the device’s structure and function.

New preprint!
We find that tactile remapping relies on intrinsic, limb-specific spatial codes, emerging ~160 ms post-stimulus in centro-parietal regions.

The spatial coding of touch is defined in intrinsic, limb-specific coordinates: an EEG study
The brain localizes touch in space by integrating tactile and proprioceptive signals, a process known as tactile remapping. While it is often assumed that the remapped touch is encoded in an extrinsic...

New preprint!
Adolescents with Restrictive Eating Disorder show greater biases in abdomen localization. Hand perception biases were similar across groups, with no tactile acuity differences, suggesting early, body-part-specific distortions.
