Hey Nika. Yes, "Green Open Access". You can upload the accepted version of your manuscript to a repository (e.g., OSF, PsyArXiv, etc) and add that link wherever you list the published paper. Just be careful in case the journal has an embargo period. I did that with an APA journal paper once.
Thanks, Natalie. Hope things we great down in Australia! :)
I thank my collaborators Henrik Ehrsson @brainself.bsky.social, Marie Chancel @mariechancel.bsky.social, and Brigit Hasenack

Our findings suggest that, as long as sensory information relevant to body ownership can be predicted, the experience of ownership can still emerge. Interestingly, visual prediction appears to play an even greater role in shaping the subjective perceptual biases linked to that experience.
We used a psychophysical task in which the rubber hand illusion was induced simultaneously for two rubber hands, and examined how occluding visual feedback from touch or from the probe’s approach to the hand affected psychophysical measures of body ownership.
What makes a body feel like our own? The sense of body ownership is a core aspect of self-awareness, and it depends on the integration of multiple sensory signals. What role do visual predictions play in body ownership? Check out our new paper in Royal Society Open Science: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...
Today I am excited to introduce respyra - an open-source Python toolbox for respiratory tracking experiments in interoception research!
Now on PyPI (pip install respyra) with a preprint on PsyArXiv:

New preprint: Confidence-accuracy dissociations in perceptual decision making. A review I was supposed to write 3 years ago for my VSS Young Investigator Award. Better late than never 😅 I tried to organize the literature and explore the likely mechanisms. Feedback welcome!

How does the brain make the self feel grounded? In new work with Mariano D’Angelo, @brainself.bsky.social & @mariechancel.bsky.social, we show alpha oscillations set the time window for binding vision & touch, providing causal evidence for how body ownership emerges. Out in @natcomms.nature.com 🧠
New results! Faster parietal alpha frequency tightens, and slower alpha widens, the temporal window for vision–touch integration for the sense of one’s own body. Causal and computational evidence. Nature Communications

are better-performing face recognition models more human-like? turns out: NO
in terms of how we see/treat different faces as similar/different to each other, there seems to be tradeoff: better models are LESS human-like
so they already work in some 'alien' ways...

** Recruiting a postdoc ** We are looking for a postdoc to work on emotion, mental health, and interoception, based in London at @ucl.ac.uk in my lab (Clinical and Affective Neuroscience). Part of a large Wellcome Grant (co-led with the brilliant @camillanord.bsky.social)
A study in @pnas.org reveals that conscious awareness is tightly linked to our sense of bodily self. Using bodily illusions and computational models, researchers show body ownership relies on conscious processing – reshaping theories of #Consciousness and self-perception 🧪 news.ki.se/new-study-re...

Body ownership is not constructed unconsciously and then brought to awareness—it emerges directly in consciousness. A fundamental insight for understanding the bodily self, with clear implications for theories of consciousness. See PNAS article and thread below.

We thank @hakwan.bsky.social, Brian_Maniscalco, @smfleming.bsky.social, for their work on type-2 signal detection analysis, @kobedesender.bsky.social, Luc Vermeylen, Tom Verguts for their work on v-ratio, and @mariechancel.bsky.social for her work on RHI-based psychophysics. Please, share!
15/15 In sum, findings from a series of robust psychophysical experiments using signal detection analysis and computational modeling converge to suggest that body ownership multisensory processing occurs at the level of conscious processing.
14/15 We found that the rate of evidence accumulation for body ownership perception and for conscious awareness did not vary across visuotactile asynchronies, suggesting again that body ownership information is not processed in the absence of awareness.
13/15 Note that DDM produces several parameters that assess different dynamic aspects of perception, e.g., drift rate assesses accumulation speed and boundary separation assesses response caution as perceptual evidence is accumulated. v-ratio assesses accumulation speed for awareness.
12/15 What if the numbers of touches we chose aren't the most relevant ones? In Experiment 3, we implemented a sped-up version of our paradigm and applied drift-diffusion modeling (DDM) and v-ratio (a DDM variant of M-ratio) to test this in a dynamic framework.
11/15 Perception relies on evidence accumulation. To test whether the relationship between body ownership and awareness holds as evidence is accumulated, in Experiment 2, we varied the number of touches applied (3, 6, 9). We found conscious access remains constant across visuotactile asynchronies.
