🧵1/10 New paper out! In collaboration with @brainself.bsky.social and Karin Jensen! We systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed studies testing whether the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI), the classic body ownership illusion, reduces pain in healthy participants. Short answer: the evidence says no.

Looking forward to giving a short talk today at ~16:20 at #BRNET2026 in Palazzo Bo, Padova! I'll discuss the influence of body ownership on visuonociceptive interactions in peripersonal space and what it can tell us about how we process potential threats. See you! 🧠 #BodyOwnership #PeripersonalSpace

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. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40546968/
