The 8th edition of BRNet “The Uncanny Body: Body Representations in Neuropsychiatric Disorders.”

📍will take place in Padova, Italy 🗓️ on June 8–9, 2026

​

To interact with the world, we rely on representations of our own body, but what happens when this sense becomes distorted? The meeting will explore how such disruptions emerge in psychiatric and neurological conditions, what they reveal about the mind, and how approaches from behavioral paradigms to neuroimaging and virtual reality can inform assessment and therapy.

​

🎤Confirmed Keynote Speakers: Olaf Blanke (EPFL, Geneva), Michela Bassolino (HES-SO Valais Wallis, Sion), Jamie Feusner (University of Toronto).
