Belkis Ezgi Arikan @belkisezgiarikan.bsky.social · 06/10/2025Preprint alert! In our latest study, we show that affective context can shape how we feel touch during movement. In a virtual reality environment, participants moved their hands to avoid spiders or approach rabbits by extending or flexing their arms while we measured tactile sensitivity. 110
