An evaluation of a one-day pain science education event in a 16–18 years school setting targeting pain-related beliefs, knowledge, and behavioural intentions: A mixed-methods, non-randomised controlled trial Open
Attendance at a one-day PSE-based public health event was associated with improved knowledge, beliefs, and behavioural intentions regarding persistent pain. This exploratory study supports the need for a robust mixed-methods RCT of pain ed…

The Relative Contributions of Visual and Proprioceptive Inputs on Hand Localization in Early Childhood Open
Forming an accurate representation of the body relies on the integration of information from multiple sensory inputs. Both vision and proprioception are important for body localization. Whilst adults have been shown to integrate these sour…

The structural and functional connectivity neural underpinnings of body image Open
How we perceive our bodies is fundamental to our self‐consciousness and our experience in the world. There are two types of interrelated internal body representations—a subjective experience of the position of a limb in space (body schema)…

Move together, bond together: Visuomotor synchrony and social bonding in children and adults Open
Interpersonal synchrony is a fundamental part of human social interaction, with known effects on facilitating social bonding. Moving in time with another person facilitates prosocial behaviour, however, it is unknown if the degree of synch…

Visual illusions modulate body perception disturbance and pain in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A randomized trial Open
Background Effective treatment of longstanding Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a challenge, as causal mechanisms remain elusive. People with CRPS frequently report distorted subjective perceptions of their affected limb. Evidence …

The effect of knee resizing illusions on pain and swelling in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: a case report Open
Introduction: Resizing illusions that manipulate perceived body size are analgesic in some chronic pain conditions. Little is known whether such illusions may also alter other physiological features, such as swelling. Objectives: To determ…

Illusory resizing of the painful knee is analgesic in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis Open
Background Experimental and clinical evidence support a link between body representations and pain. This proof-of-concept study in people with painful knee osteoarthritis (OA) aimed to determine if: (i) visuotactile illusions that manipula…

An investigation of contextual factors in the application of multisensory illusions for analgesia in hand osteoarthritis Open
The current study highlights the importance of the context in which pain occurs and in which potential treatments may be applied. In this case, virtual and physical stretching modulated pain, but not viewing the hand alone. The research op…

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): A Beginner's Guide for Design and Implementation Open
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a popular brain stimulation method that is used to modulate cortical excitability, producing facilitatory or inhibitory effects upon a variety of behaviors. There is, however, a current lac…

The Effect of Visual, Spatial and Temporal Manipulations on Embodiment and Action Open
The feeling of owning and controlling the body relies on the integration and interpretation of sensory input from multiple sources with respect to existing representations of the bodily self. Illusion paradigms involving multisensory manip…

Developmental Changes in Sensitivity to Spatial and Temporal Properties of Sensory Integration Underlying Body Representation Open
The closer in time and space that two or more stimuli are presented, the more likely it is that they will be integrated together. A recent study by Hillock-Dunn and Wallace (2012) reported that the size of the visuo-auditory temporal bindi…

The Anne Boleyn Illusion is a Six-Fingered Salute to Sensory Remapping Open
The Anne Boleyn Illusion exploits the somatotopic representation of touch to create the illusion of an extra digit and demonstrates the instantaneous remapping of relative touch location into body-based coordinates through visuo-tactile in…

Evidence that subclinical somatoform dissociation is not characterised by heightened awareness of proprioceptive signals Open
The results suggest that amplification of, or abnormal weighting for, proprioceptive signals is not a contributing factor to somatoform symptom reporting.

Changing appearance using visual illusions improves ownership of the painful hand in complex regional pain syndrome Open
Background and aims
People with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) experience a diminished sense of ownership of their painful limb. Evidence of a reduction in pain when the affected limb is visually altered in size, suggests that targ…
