The first study from my postdoc is now up as a preprint 👏🏻 we combined #EEG and #VR in a cool task (feat. 🦊) finding that lateralised ongoing pain affects predictive responses to phasic pain on the same side of the body. #Neuroskyence #cogsci #AcademicSky #PainResearch @benosaka.bsky.social

New to Blueksy so wanted to introduce myself - I'm a Psychology researcher broadly interested in body representation, multisensory perception, action, pain and sensation. I use a lot of VR and hand-tracking in my work - here's my most recent creation, of some very distorted embodied VR hands!
