@multisensoryres.bsky.social is pleased to announce a special issue, in collaboration with the @bodyrepnetwork.bsky.social, on multisensory mechanisms involved in constructing and deconstructing body representations.
📅 Submission deadline: Friday 2 October 2026
See full Call for Papers below.
📢 **Programme Update & Registrations Open!**
We’re excited to share that tentative programme 🎉
Those who expressed interest in the social dinner will be contacted via email with further details. Seating is limited and first come, first served, based on registration!
We’re excited to see you!
Not long to go now until the submission deadline for the BRNet ECR award so get your nominations in! Link to details here: bodyrepresentation.wixsite.com/brnet/about-... @bodyrepnetwork.bsky.social
Beyond Likert scales: We introduce a novel self-report method for measuring RHI strength using inverse multidimensional scaling. Ownership scores emerge from arrangements of bodily experiences in psychological bodily space as distances between RHI and baseline cases of no and full body ownership.
Great news! 📢 The abstract submission deadline has been extended to March 6th 2026.
If you were still finalising your work, this is the perfect opportunity to submit and share your research. Don’t miss out - we’re looking forward to seeing your abstracts!
Happy holidays!

Congrats to Dr Valeria Peviani 🏆
A postdoc at the Donders Institute & UKE Hamburg, Valeria’s work explores how body perception emerged from multisensory signals, combining computational modelling, psychophysics & electrophysiology.
👏 Well deserved!
Altered body representations are central to many neuropsychiatric and neurological conditions. At the 8th Annual BRNet Meeting, we’ll explore these questions under the theme “The Uncanny Body.”
