Really delighted to announce that our paper is now out! We fMRI scanned patients both before amputation and after - allowing us to make direct comparisons. We found that the cortical maps are extremely stable, almost unchanged - even 5 years after amputation!

Presenting my poster on pain learning and Phantom Limb Pain today at #IMRF2025 at 3.30pm. Come find me at #21 to chat about how amputees learn painful cues across different environments and in active/passive conditions 🧠

Great start to #IMRF2025 with Symposium 2 all about body representation and some amazing talks! Really enjoyed hearing about how sounds can affect it, e.g. with the auditory pinocchio illusion 🔊, something quite different than what I work on but so fun!

Really inspiring to work with these 2 amazing women rocking it at the UN AI For Good summit! 😍

Sad to say goodbye to #BRNet2025. Lovely community where I learnt so much!! Looking forward to next year 👀

Having a great time in Utrecht at #BRNet2025! Today, our very talented postdoc @celiafoster.bsky.social and amazing PhD student Ema Jugovic presented their posters. Really great work showcasing our new Third Thumb studies 🧠

Great talk by Matej Hoffman starting off Day 2 of #BRNet2025. Really exciting to see our BOLDkids research on congenital limb difference mentioned as well! Also - what an amazing venue 😊

Really cool work from Lucy Dowdall!

Had a blast working on this amazing project and the pre-print is now out 🎉! Interested in sensory remapping? We tested congenital limb difference children and adults to investigate how their brains differ and what role compensatory behaviour in childhood has on remapping 🧠 Read more in the thread!

Really excited for this!

Great talk by our amazing postdoc @celiafoster.bsky.social at the #CBUMethodsDay! She introduced motion tracking methods available in neuroscience 🧠 and showed how she is setting up a real-time 3D motion tracking using a portable stereo camera! 🎥 It's a great way of tracking the third thumb!

Introduction post! Hi 👋! I'm a 2nd year PhD working on phantom limb pain, using behavioural and neuroimaging techniques. Currently piloting my new TMS experiment where we try and elicit phantom sensations, measuring MEPs and decision making 🧠! Love to travel, read and crochet when I find the time! 💛
