About
Giedre Stripeikyte is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, neuroscience, and psychiatry, whose work fundamentally redefines how we understand altered states of consciousness. Her primary research areas include sensorimotor processing, hallucinations, and the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying psychosis. Stripeikyte’s major contribution lies in developing innovative robotics-based methods to experimentally induce and study complex subjective experiences. Her most cited work (2021, 51 citations) demonstrates how robot-induced sensorimotor conflicts can trigger presence hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease patients, revealing altered processing in fronto-temporal networks—a breakthrough linking robotic stimulation to clinical neuropsychiatry. In a second highly influential study (2020, 20 citations), she extended this approach to investigate thought insertion, showing that controlled sensorimotor conflicts can evoke the experience of alien thoughts, a core symptom of psychosis. By translating elusive psychiatric phenomena into measurable, manipulable experimental paradigms, Stripeikyte has opened new avenues for understanding consciousness and developing targeted interventions. Her work stands as a landmark in embodied cognition and translational neuroscience, offering profound insights into the neural basis of selfhood and reality monitoring.
