This research explores whether altering bodily sensations can change emotional experiences. By manipulating perceived heartbeat, blinking, and muscle tension through wearable devices and virtual reality, it demonstrates that emotions can be reshaped without changing physiology, opening new possibilities for treating trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, and other mental health conditions

This research examines the overlap between IBS and eating disorder–like behaviours, where conflicting dietary advice creates clinical uncertainty. By interviewing patients and providers, it identifies two distinct groups based on motivation for food restriction. The goal is to develop tools that improve nutrition counselling and support better, safer patient care.
