Hi! Thank you for your interest in participating in my study.

I am Sara Coppi, a PhD student at the Brain, Body and Self Lab at the Karolinska Institutet.

Currently, we have some ongoing projects for my PhD!

We are inviting volunteers to take part into a psychological study during which we investigate nociception and body perception.

I will briefly explain what the experiment is. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and ask at sara.coppi@ki.se! I will happily reply 🙂

The purpose of this research study is to increase our understanding of how we perceive our bodies. In particular, we want to learn more about how vision and nociception influence body perception. The actual experiment consists of 4 blocks of about 2 minutes. Two of these blocks will involve  40 nociceptive stimulations (it is NOT electric shock) of about 7 milliseconds each. The nociceptive stimulation resembles heat with some weak pain component and lasts very shortly. The amount of perceived nociception will be calibrated for each participant and it is different for everyone. During the calibration period, you will choose the amount of nociception suitable for you. After each block, you will be asked to answer a few questions about your experience. 

The experiment takes between 45-60 minutes. During the experiment you will be asked to look at a prosthetic hand while receiving some weak nociceptive stimulations on you real hand. 

Participation is voluntary and there is always the possibility to withdraw at any time. 

The compensation will be either of 150 SEK (taxable, and only if you have a personnummer) or a cinema ticket.

Before booking an appointment, I need to check your eligibility with a few fast YES/NO questions. 

Please, answer below.

Best,

Sara Coppi
