Dewe, H., Sill, O., Thurlbeck, S., Kentridge, R., & Cowie, D. (2024). The role of visuomotor synchrony on virtual full‐body illusions in children and adults. Journal of Neuropsychology, https://doi.org/10.1111/jnp.12372

The present study explored the effects of visuomotor synchrony in virtual reality during the embodiment of a full human avatar in children (aged 5–6 years) and adults. Participants viewed their virtual bodies from a first‐person perspective while the... Read More about The role of visuomotor synchrony on virtual full‐body illusions in children and adults.

The well‐worn route revisited: Striatal and hippocampal system contributions to familiar route navigation (2024)
Journal Article
Buckley, M., McGregor, A., Ihssen, N., Austen, J., Thurlbeck, S., Smith, S. P., …Lew, A. R. (2024). The well‐worn route revisited: Striatal and hippocampal system contributions to familiar route navigation. Hippocampus, https://doi.org/10.1002/hipo.23607

Classic research has shown a division in the neuroanatomical structures that support flexible (e.g., short‐cutting) and habitual (e.g., familiar route following) navigational behavior, with hippocampal–caudate systems associated with the former and p...

Alice in Wonderland: The effects of body size and movement on children’s size perception and body representation in virtual reality (2022)
Journal Article
Keenaghan, S., Polaskova, M., Thurlbeck, S., Kentridge, R. W., & Cowie, D. (2022). Alice in Wonderland: The effects of body size and movement on children’s size perception and body representation in virtual reality. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 224, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2022.105518

Previous work shows that in adults, illusory embodiment of a virtual avatar can be induced using congruent visuomotor cues. Furthermore, embodying different-sized avatars influences adults’ perception of their environment’s size. This study (N = 92)...
