Self and other

Principal investigator: Caroline Catmur

This was a Royal Society-funded equipment grant, "The role of the temporoparietal junction in representing self and other".

This project funded the purchase of brain stimulation equipment to help investigate the role of a particular brain area, the temporoparietal junction, in controlling representations of the self and of other people.
