The brain attenuates self-touch, but how does this unfold at the neural level before the touch? We used MEG to find out 🧠 👉👈

Motor prediction reduces beta-band power and enhances cerebellar-somatosensory connectivity before self-touch to enable its attenuation
Prevailing theories suggest that the brain uses an internal forward model to predict tactile input during voluntary movements, thereby reducing the intensity of the reafferent tactile sensation, a phe...

New paper out, led by the brilliant (bsky-less) PhD student Ziliang Xiong!
We show that temporal expectations yield both costs and benefits on somatosensory perception and decision-making!
We used psychophysics and computational modelling!

Costs and benefits of temporal expectations on somatosensory perception and decision-making
Our perception is shaped by prior expectations, including those about the timing of our sensations. These temporal expectations can be formed by recog…

The first paper of my PhD is out in iScience (@cp-iscience.bsky.social)! Here, we show that somatosensory perception is dynamically modulated during the movement in a context-dependent manner.

Predictions of bimanual self-touch determine the temporal tuning of somatosensory perception
We easily distinguish self-touch from the touch of others. This distinction is suggested to arise because the brain predicts the somatosensory consequ…
