Research
What is the link between the body and the self? How do we become aware of ourselves and of others? How do we relate to and respond to the images that power human culture? These are some of the key questions that we research.

People
Academics are fortunate enough to spend their whole career surrounded by young minds. A privilege that few other professions can give you. These are the people who make our research possible, successful and most enjoyable. The people to whom I am grateful for their creativity, skills and openness.

Publications
Since 2003, our research has resulted in numerous publications in peer-reviewed international journals. In addition to the research articles we publish, we think it is important to take the time to consolidate our findings in original theoretical and review papers.Several of our papers are among the most-cited articles in our field of research (source: Thomson Reuters Citation Thresholds).

News
We are trying to stay on top of things, be aware of the most important news in our field and whenever possible to contribute to what is timely and important.
→
Media
Our research has attracted interest from media around the world, and has appeared in major international news organizations, such Reuters, BBC, The Times, The Guardian, El Pais, Le Figaro, Wall Street Journal, El Mundo, Huffington Post, and Scientific American.

Clare Palmer
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology, Physiology and Philosophy (PPP) at St John’s College, Oxford University. I then worked as a research assistant at the Oxford centre for Human Brain Activity (OHBA) under the guidance of Professor Kia Nobre and Dr Susannah Murphy working on cognition and perception in old age. Following this I completed my PhD at University College London (UCL) in sensorimotor control and EEG under the supervision of Dr James Kilner and was funded by the 4 Year Wellcome Trust PhD in Neuroscience. I have recently taken a post-doctoral position at the Lab of Action and Body at Royal Holloway University of London with Professor Manos Tsakiris researching the role for interoception in the representation of the bodily self and social cognition.
Research Interests
I am interested in predictive coding and how the brain integrates interoceptive, exteroceptive and proprioceptive information for perception and higher level cognition using behavioural paradigms and psychophysiological methods such as EEG, fMRI and ECG. More specifically I am currently researching new methods to accurately and objectively measure interoceptive signals and aim to understand how individual differences in interoceptive processing explain differences in self-awareness, social cognition and resilience to mental health.
