Dr. Valeria Petkova is currently a postdoc in Daniel Senkowski's lab at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Charité, University Medicine, Berlin. During her time here in the Brain, Body & Self Lab she used state of the art neuroimaging techniques and behavioral methods to study the perceptual and neural underpinnings of body ownership. Dr. Petkova's PhD Thesis title was, "Do I need a body to know who I am? Neural Mechanisms of body ownership"--click here for pdf. Click here for more information about her research.

In the Fall and Winter of 2010/2011 Sofia Fröman had an intership in the lab as part of her master degree specializing in Mechatronics at the KTH machine design department. During her time here she worked on developing the initial designs for an MR compatible moving rubber hand. Click here for more information about her work in the lab.

In the Spring and Summer of 2010 Hedvig Zetterberg (Sweden) made an internship in the lab as part of her master degree in clinical medical science at the Karolinska Institutet. She conducted a study on the rubber hand illusion with blind participants. Hedvig is currently working as a physiotherapist at Akademiska Sjukhuset i Uppsala.

Mehrnoush Khoshnevis (Sweden) conducted a six month internship in the lab in the spring of 2009 (research preparatory course). She worked with Valeria Petkova and Henrik Ehrsson on a behavioural project to study the role of the visual perspective on full-body ownership illusions. In 2011 her experiments were published in Frontiers of Psychology (Petkova et al. 2011). In 2010 Mehronoush was accepted into the medical school at Uppsala University where she is currently pursuing her training as a medic.

Michael Harvey (USA) was the first postdoc in the lab. From November 2008 to January 2010 he worked on a project to look for multisensory responses in early visual areas with Per Roland and Henrik Ehrsson. Michael is currently based at University of Chicago, USA.
