About

Lucile Dupin investigates the fascinating intersection of touch, movement, and self-awareness, focusing on how sensorimotor signals construct our spatial self-perception. Her work explores the interplay between tactile and motor information, revealing how the brain integrates these inputs to create a coherent sense of body and space. In her most cited study (2022, 12 citations), she demonstrated how self-touch and motor commands shape our perception of bodily boundaries. A key contribution is her investigation of haptic illusions—such as perceiving bumps on one's own skin during self-touch—which illuminates how the brain distinguishes between external objects and one's own body. Dupin also examines interhemispheric communication during haptic perception (2022, 2 citations), shedding light on how the two hemispheres coordinate tactile information. Her research has implications for understanding body ownership, spatial cognition, and rehabilitation after stroke. Though early in her career, Dupin's work is gaining traction for its innovative approach to embodied cognition and the neural basis of self-awareness.
