Rebecca Böhme is an Associate Professor at Linköping University, focusing on the intersection of sense of self, brain-body interactions, and psychiatric conditions. Her research delves into pharmacological interventions and how these can influence understanding of social communication and interoception through affective touch. Dr. Böhme aims to comprehend how the brain and body collectively contribute to the experience of the 'self'. She investigates basic perceptions of bodily entities and employs cutting-edge techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) alongside psychophysical behavioral measures to understand how individuals discern between 'self' and 'other'. Her work also examines dysfunctional self-other differentiation in psychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia, particularly focusing on altered self-perceptions and body illusions evoked pharmacologically.
