Delighted to share our paper on virtual embodiment, just out in Developmental Science. We show that the appearance of a virtual hand affects feelings of ownership for both children and adults. Movement cues interact with this for adults only. For all p’s, short-term training increased embodiment.

AI could consume 40% of all data center electricity by the end of the year and will soon surpass bitcoin mining in power consumption. Companies like Google are revising their net zero greenhouse emissions target dates. www.wired.com/story/new-re...

Really pleased that this paper from my PhD has been published in Nature Scientific Reports! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We used mixed reality to explore how manipulating multisensory integration leads to dis-ownership from the body and how those experiences relate to trait dissociation
