About
Atena Fadaei Jouybari is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of virtual reality, haptic technology, and cognitive neuroscience, with a primary focus on the mechanisms of bodily self-consciousness (BSC). Her major contributions center on designing and validating novel torso-worn force and vibrotactile interfaces—most notably the "Cogno-Vest"—which experimentally induce specific hallucinations and related bodily sensations. By applying precisely controlled multisensory and sensorimotor stimuli, her work systematically probes how the brain integrates vision and touch to construct the experience of owning a body. Her most cited paper (2021, 14 citations) demonstrates how these wearable devices can generate illusory own-body perceptions, offering a powerful tool for deconstructing the neural foundations of selfhood. This research not only advances fundamental understanding of consciousness but also holds translational promise for psychiatric conditions involving disturbed body perception. Through her innovative engineering and rigorous experimental design, Jouybari is establishing a new paradigm for studying the embodied self, bridging robotics, virtual reality, and clinical neuroscience.
