It was a pleasure to deliver a keynote at the 2026 @_RIOgroup_ meeting to discuss the Sensory Conflict Hypothesis of AOMI (see 2/2). After 20 years of RIO meetings, it's amazing to see the organization growing with a strong international attendance and student contribution.

Happy to share my latest work with @Scott_Glover_RH. @RHULPsychology @SurreyPsych
We show that motor imagery is functionally distinct from physical action, supporting the #Motor #Cognitive model of motor #imagery.
