Denise Cadete holds positions as a Research Assistant and Associate Lecturer at the School of Psychological Sciences. Her research focuses on perceptual and cognitive aspects of body representation, including sensory illusions related to hand perception, body size/weight estimation, and supernumerary finger phenomena. She has contributed to studies on face perception, posture-congruent illusions, and multisensory integration mechanisms. Her work appears in journals like Cortex, Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, and Cognition. Teaching responsibilities include modules on neuroscience and reproducible research methods (R programming).
Her recent publications (2020–2025) explore systematic biases in weight/density perception, the specificity of face size illusions, and the flexibility of body part representations. These studies employ experimental psychophysics and neurocognitive approaches to understand how the brain integrates sensory information to construct bodily self-awareness.
