Our PI, Ana Tajadura-Jiménez, participated in the newly formed Special Interest group for Research on Embodied Neuroscience (SIREN) with a talk ‘Sensing the body through sound: Auditory-driven changes in body representation and body-centred applications for health’, and talked about our extensive work with wearable technology and health in the Social Cognition symposium with a talk titled ‘Shaping body-perception, behavior, and affect through sound: Multisensory integration and health support in physical inactivity, pain, and other health conditions’. Additionally, two of our doctoral students presented their current work using sensory stimuli (sound and haptics) to alter body perception. Inés Fernandez-Vallejo presented the poster ‘Altered modulation of body perception and affect through movement sonification in individuals with depressive symptoms’ and Karunya Srinivasan presented the poster ‘Growing bigger than the gap: Investigating body-space interactions during a haptic illusion altering perceived body size’. Happy to have met old and new collaborators in Rome and to be part of this very engaged community of researchers.
