Laura organized and chaired a symposium titled "Real bodies in a real world: Multisensory and embodied signatures of self-environment interactions". As part of the symposium, she gave the talk "Visuo-thermal interoceptive signals modulate the sense of body ownership". She was also the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Ambassador at the session "Uncovering the secrets of graduate school: The grant process".
Laura Crucianelli, Adam Enmalm, and Henrik Ehrsson demonstrate that interoception should be conceptualized as independent perceptual submodalities, including cardiac, thermosensory, nociceptive, and affective touch.
