🧵New preprint with @cvnlab, @tnaselar & @tknapen: How does the brain connect vision and touch representations to infuse vision with body-related meaning? TLDR: We found high-level visual cortex is tiled with maps 'multiplexing' vision and touch. tinyurl.com/seesoma 1/n
Well this is exciting!

The final talk of #ReadEmo24 is fittingly given by @ProfNDerakshan who organised and chaired this year's symposium. She discusses, as passionately as ever, the importance of building resilience in brain cancer survivorship, to empower people to live, not simply survive 🩷
Our next short talk at #ReadEmo24 is from artist Angela El-Ziend. She uses story-telling as a way to explore emotions, build resilience, and empower the individual to share their experience of a breast cancer diagnosis, and not to be defined by it.
