Recognizing and altering the emotional body
Increasingly popular wearable sensing and feedback technology is starting to consider the emotional body as a means for creating affect-competent real life applications.

The discussion will be grounded on our work on technology to support chronic pain physical rehabilitation in everyday activity and on altering one’s body perception in healthy population and in people with a certain body dysmorphic disorders.
