Participants needed: The influence of vision and touch on body perception

11 December

• For Staff and Students
• Research participant call-outs

We are looking for participants to join a research study exploring the factors that influence body perception and that may be related to unusual sensory experiences.

What will participation involve?

• This study will ask you to take part in one in-person session that will last around 20 minutes.
• The session will include two short questionnaires and a quick activity involving a mirror and your forearm to investigate the influence of vision on the perception of touch.
• This can be in any convenient location on the Loughborough University campus, or in public.

Who can join? Any adult who does not have:

• Diagnosed or known neurological damage,
• Diagnosed or known peripheral nerve damage,
• Vision difficulties (effective glasses and contact lenses are fine).

What are the benefits of participating?

• This study is a quick way to contribute to PhD research and further our understanding.
• Many people find similar activities to those in this study enjoyable, and you may learn a new demonstration to share with others.
