Dr Aikaterini Fotopoulou    


Senior Lecturer at UCL.


Current research projects focus on the psychological and neural mechanisms by which interoceptive body feelings, as well as multimodal representations of the body, are influenced by internalised social expectations, on-line interactions with other people and neuropeptides known to enhance social feelings.
