📢Fully Funded PhD position in Barcelona! I'm excited to announce that I’m opening a PhD position at @idibaps, Barcelona! We'll investigate the role of bodily signals in autobiographical memory, using virtual reality, EEG and TMS, in healthy volunteers and patient populations.

Octopuses feel the rubber hand illusion—or at least their behaviour suggests they do.

New study out in iScience, led by @coppi_sara: During the rubber hand illusion, pain is mislocalized toward the rubber hand, just like touch and proprioception. This nociceptive drift reveals how pain, like other senses, is integrated into the bodily self.

What a lovely 3 days in Utrecht for #BRNet2025. Thanks everyone for the thought-provoking talks and chats. I think the computational modelling theme for this year was spot-on, congrats to the organisers @bodyrepnetwork ! Looking forward to seeing some of you again at #IMRF !

It was such a fantastic, well organised conference we cannot thank you enough for all your hard work. I look forward to seeing you all at #BRNet2025 ……
Organizing the 6th annual meeting of the @bodyrepnetwork in Verona was an amazing experience. @Scandle and @maddalenabecc were fantastic partners in this adventure and excellent local organizers.

1st day at #BRNet2025 - I thought my nerdiness was sated with the computational modelling workshop, until Pieter Medendorp mentioned the El Greco fallacy 🥹

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!

Immensely proud of this, and grateful for the opportunity @quentin_moreau V. Era and Prof. Candidi gave me. Chech it out if interested in the neural decoding of body perception, bodily movements and action monitoring! @SCNL_AgliotiLab
New in #eNeuro from @ugo_giulio, Moreau, Era, and Candidi: How people interact with and process the movements of avatars differs depending on whether avatars look like people. @SCNL_AgliotiLab @dip_psi @SapienzaRoma

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.

Feeling fear through a fake body? Our new study, led by @RyuOhata, shows that illusory body ownership amplifies subjective fear in response to nearby fear-relevant animals (spiders) and increases fear of safety-margin violations.
