PhD student at the Plasticity Lab, MRC CBU, University of Cambridge (@plasticity-lab.bsky.social), working on phantom limb pain and brain reorganisation post amputation. Crocheting, reading and travelling when I can!
Presenting my poster on pain learning and Phantom Limb Pain today at #IMRF2025 at 3.30pm. Come find me at #21 to chat about how amputees learn painful cues across different environments and in active/passive conditions 🧠

Great start to #IMRF2025 with Symposium 2 all about body representation and some amazing talks! Really enjoyed hearing about how sounds can affect it, e.g. with the auditory pinocchio illusion 🔊, something quite different than what I work on but so fun!

Great talk by Matej Hoffman starting off Day 2 of #BRNet2025. Really exciting to see our BOLDkids research on congenital limb difference mentioned as well! Also - what an amazing venue 😊

Had a blast working on this amazing project and the pre-print is now out 🎉! Interested in sensory remapping? We tested congenital limb difference children and adults to investigate how their brains differ and what role compensatory behaviour in childhood has on remapping 🧠 Read more in the thread!
