Brain, Body and Attention study

Av August Hägerdal Skapad: 2024-06-16

In this study, we investigate if attention exercises affect how people perceive their bodies by using visual and tactile illusions. The study is divided into 2 identical sessions. We will measure your neural activity using electroencephalography (EEG; non-invasive technique) while you receive gentle touches on your hand. Between both sessions, we will give you an attention task, that we expect you to do every day for 2 weeks until the second session.

Important:
If you have participated in other studies about body perception in our lab, you can still participate in this study.

Both sessions take around 3 hours and the exercises between both sessions range from 20 to 35 minutes. You will be compensated 1375 SEK (taxable). If you are interested, please sign up. We will contact you by email

Requirements:
- You are between 18 and 45 years of age.
- You have no neurological or psychiatric diagnoses
- You are not taking psychoactive drugs
- You are right-handed
- You do not have dreadlocks
- You have not done any cognitive training or formal meditation
- You can attend both the first session AND the second session.
