Last publication: A mixed-methods approach to body perception research
EN Our latest work, published in Psychophysiology, presents a pragmatic mixed-methods approach to the study of body perception, integrating qualitative design methods with experimental quantitative approaches. In this article, we provide an overview of qualitative approaches that can enrich different stages of the scientific process, including experimental design, data collection, analysis, and dissemination. This integration contributes to more nuanced insights within cognitive neuroscience while fostering multidisciplinary collaboration without sacrificing methodological rigor. Only through quantitative and experimental methods can we build generalizable andOnly through quantitative and experimental methods can we build generalizable and reproducible science. And only by treating body experience as living and dynamic can we capture its nuance, variability, and richness. ES Nuestro trabajo más reciente, publicado en Psychophysiology, presenta una propuesta pragmática de métodos mixtos para el estudio de la percepción corporal, integrando métodos cualitativos de diseño con enfoques experimentales cuantitativos. En este artículo ofrecemos una visión general de aproximaciones cualitativas que pueden enriquecer distintas etapas del proceso científico, incluyendo el diseño experimental, la recolección de datos, el análisis y la difusión de resultados. Esta integración contribuye a generar insights más matizados dentro de la neurociencia cognitiva y, al mismo tiempo, fomenta la colaboración multidisciplinaria sin comprometer el rigor metodológico. Solo mediante métodos cuantitativos y experimentales es posible construir una ciencia generalizable y reproducible. Y solo al comprender la experiencia corporal como algo vivo y dinámico podemos captar plenamente sus matices, variabilidad y riqueza.
New Publication in Cortex
Our latest paper has just been published in Cortex: Linking spatial metaphors to body size perception: Different roles of top-down associations and multisensory contributions when mapping auditory cues to finger length We explored how top-down and bottom-up signals that while top-down associations between pitch and verticality are necessary, bottom-up multisensory cues are crucial for impacting perceptual judgments.

New Research on Body Perception
searching Body Perception: Towards an Integration of Quantitative and Qualitative Interdisciplinary Approaches to Address the Multiplicity of Bodily Experiences” In this work, we discuss the crucial importance of involving qualitative methods within cognitive neuroscience to account for the multiplicity of bodily experiences. We argue that a mixed-methods approach can lead to a richer understanding without compromising quantitative rigor. Read the preprint here: https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/ndhpa_v1
