Robots, virtual reality, heartbeat detection, exoskeletons, third thumbs, body illusions, computational models - it's a pretty cool field we all study

Can #BRNet2025 answer the cartographer / tuner question? If you're in Utrecht in the next few days and even if you're not coming, feel free to share and, most of all, comment!

On Friday I'll be presenting a poster describing some of the great research by @dorothycowie.bsky.social and Leif Johanssen investigating how children and adults adapt to an extendable arm in VR, along with our future plans to expand on that work

Really pleased that this paper from my PhD has been published in Nature Scientific Reports!

We used mixed reality to explore how manipulating multisensory integration leads to dis-ownership from the body and how those experiences relate to trait dissociation

Trait dissociation is associated with dissociative experiences arising from disrupted multisensory integration - Scientific Reports
