interoception; consciousness

The aim of the internship is to better characterize the interactions between bodily signals and conscious perception: how does the neural processing of visceral signals, like heartbeats or the stomach’s activity, influence our perception of the external world? The internship will include the development of a novel experimental paradigm as well as EEG data collection and data analysis. Programming skills will be required, with either previous experience or a willingness to develop such skills.
