Ongoing Projects
Time-frequency plots for a body inversion matching task in healthy controls (n=4). Averaged activity from right occipito-temporal electrodes (P8, PO8, TP8) shows that body inversion modulates early theta and alpha power.
Brain mechanisms of appearance misperception in body dysmorphic disorder
Investigating how bottom-up and top-down processing of bodies and faces contribute to misperceived body image. This work is supported by the 2025 International OCD Foundation Michael A. Jenike Young Investigator Award.
Mentors: Jamie D. Feusner, M.D. & Agatha Lenartowicz, Ph.D.
Somatomap 3D avatar tool used to assess body image perception. The app includes 26 selectable body parts, each adjustable in size and shape using a slider. The avatar can be rotated and viewed from all angles.
Characterizing body size misestimation using a 3D avatar
Investigating neural and behavioural mechanisms of body size misestimation in body image disturbance. This work is supported by NIMH research grant #3R01MH121520-04S1.
3D head model for EEG electrode localization created using a portable 3D scanner.
3D Head Models for EEG Spatial Localization
Developing protocols that leverage 3D head models to improve the accessibility of EEG electrode localization.
Simulation of theta-burst stimulation at the lateral parietal cortex target site.
EMPAC-BDD
Exogenous modulation of visual perception and connectivity in body dysmorphic disorder. This work is supported by NIMH research grant #R21MH128815.
Visual Attention Modification fMRI Task Paradigm.
Visual attention modification in BDD
Neural mechanisms of perceptual abnormalities and their malleability in body dysmorphic disorder. This work is supported by NIMH research grant #R01MH121520.
Photorealistic 3D model with full texture mapping, generated via photogrammetry using a Raspberry Pi-based camera system composed of 38 synchronized cameras.
