Check out the symposium “Recent Developments in Bodily Self-awareness Research” hosted by @coppi_sara at ICON 2025 in Porto tomorrow, Friday, at 1:30PM! Speakers: Sara Coppi, Heather Iriye, Renzo Lanfranco and Mariano D'Angelo.

New study shows that reducing body ownership through a perceptual illusion leads to fragmentation in self-concept. This link between the bodily and conceptual self may shed light on dissociative experiences and mental health.

In our new iScience study led by Sara Coppi, we show that during the rubber hand illusion, pain is mislocalized toward the rubber hand. This nociceptive drift reveals how pain, like other senses, is integrated into the bodily self.

What is the relationship between conscious awareness and unconscious processing in the multisensory perception of our own bodies? In our new preprint, with @renzolanfranco.bsky.social as the lead author, we investigated this question. Link to the preprint and thread below

20 years ago, Ehrsson, Spence, & @Dick_retired published a landmark study showing how the premotor and parietal cortex drive the sense of body ownership through multisensory integration in the rubber hand illusion.

Sensing oneself: don't forget the subcortex! Crucianelli, Reader & Ehrsson review the subcortical contributions to the sense of body ownership – i.e. the feeling that one's body belongs to oneself. academic.oup.com/brain/articl...
