Elisa Raffaella Ferrè

Elisa Raffaella Ferrè is an honorary Research Associate at the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. Her research focuses on multisensory interactions between vestibular, visual, and somatosensory systems, particularly addressing how the brain processes terrestrial gravity to guide behavior. She employs methods including EEG, fMRI, virtual reality, and psychophysics.

• Committee roles: UK Space Life and Biomedical Sciences Association (UK SpaceLABS), European Low Gravity Research Association (ELGRA), Experimental Psychology Society (EPS), and British Psychology Society Research Board.
• Engagement: Public talks, BBC Science Focus features, and art/science projects like VESTIBULAR_1 and The Zero Gravity Band.

Her work explores cognitive and perceptual effects in non-terrestrial gravity contexts, with grants from the UK British Academy, Royal Society, European Space Agency, and others. Projects include cybersickness reduction and vestibular alterations in microgravity.
