Big thank you to Dr Charlotte Krahe for leading today’s RCBB event in neuroscience. Dr. David Moore, Paula Trotter, Ralph Pawling and Valentina Cazzato delivered insightful studies on interoception, delving into the realms of pain and touch. #neuroscience #interoceptionstudies

Sincere appreciations to Laura Crucianelli from QMUL Psychology for her valuable presence at today's RCBB event and presenting on the contribution of skin-mediated interoceptive signals to the sense of body ownership.#Neuroscience

Appreciate the invaluable contribution of Matt Howard from Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at the RCBB event and presenting the latest developments of neuroimaging in treatments for pain. #neuroscience

Join us for RCBB’s dementia event led by Michael Richter on Dec 6th, 9:30am in BS 3.29. Speakers @DavideBrunoPhD, Tse Dorothy, Elisa Di Rosa, & @ainarajauregizinkunegi will share their pioneering research. Don't miss this opportunity to get an insight into the latest advancements!

How do you know if something is wet/dry? Humans have no dedicated sensor for humidity. Instead, we rely -mainly- on thermal cues. Do the test: sit on a cold bench, your first reaction is: The bench is Wet! @ploumitsakou, Muheim Jonathan, Silvestro Micera, Francesco Iberite , @thermosenselab

Remapping wetness perception in upper limb amputees - fascinating and important work👇
