Adopting Another’s Perspective: Exploring the N170 as a Neurophysiological Marker of Altercentric Representations
Internship Context
We are offering a paid six-months research internship during the academic year 2025-2026. The project focuses on Visual Perspective Taking (VPT), investigated through the N170 ERP component measured via EEG, with concurrent fNIRS recordings. The goal is to determine whether humans perceptually simulate what others see, using an innovative dual-participant paradigm featuring four conditions (active vs. passive observer and eyes open vs. closed), and test the hypothesis of an intermediate N170 amplitude when simulating another’s viewpoint.
