Welcome to The Brain Stimulation Lab @ HW

The lab is devoted to the study of body representation and disgust processing. 

For the lazy ones, here are the publications of the Lab members grouped by topic. 

(might not be up to date)

 Please be aware that some papers belong to more than one category. They are included in one or the other accordingly to the author's mood of the day.
