Our new paper published in @CurrentBiology challenges traditional notions of body representation. Congratulations @peviani_v @LukeMillerNeuro @pmedendorp!
Out in @CurrentBiology: a challenge to traditional views on distorted body representations. With @LukeMillerNeuro and @pmedendorp at @DondersInst we found that biases in hand perception stem from somatosensory computations, not a distorted hand model. authors.elsevier.com/a/1j2ki…

Feedback control undistorts body representations: A possible solution to the hand paradox doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/ryst… 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/10.1101/… by Zografos, Medendorp & @LukeMillerNeuro

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

❗ 🥙 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/research-n… #eatingdisorders

📌 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.
Check out our new preprint looking at spatial accuracy and precision of arm and tool maps before and after tool use. With Leo Pfeifer, @GaiaRisso @MichiBassolino and @LukeMillerNeuro
