Microneurography: Recording and stimulating peripheral nerves in humans
Physiology
We base our working around the technique of microneurography, but we also use other approaches, such as measuring muscle activity (EMG), heart rate, and electrodermal activity.
Behaviour
We use psychophysical, behavioral, and questionnaire approaches to understand more about human reactions.
Neuroimaging
We use fMRI, EEG, and MEG to further understand the central responses of the brain to somatosenory stimulation.
“It is the question that drives us.”
The Matrix.
About Us
We are a group of researchers, led by Dr. Rochelle Ackerley, focussed on the investigation of touch in humans, based at the Laboratoire de Neurosciences Cognitves at Aix-Marseille University, France.
