Brain, Body, and Self Lab
@brainself.bsky.social
We study the sense of self, body representation, and the human brain. Based at Karolinska Institutet, led by Henrik Ehrsson.
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.

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...
