معرفی
Dr Harriet Dempsey-Jones is a Research Fellow at the School of Psychology and holds a Research Officer role in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Queensland. She holds a Bachelor (Honours) in Psychological Science and a PhD from UQ. Her research focuses on multisensory integration, body perception, tactile perception, neuroplasticity, and motor control mechanisms. Notably, her work explores how sensory input (e.g., tactile, proprioceptive) interacts with motor signals to shape self-perception and adaptive neural processes. Key projects include studying cortical reorganization following sensory deprivation, the role of somatosensory feedback in neuroprosthetics, and the neurocognitive basis of voluntary action signatures.
Her recent publications highlight investigations into somatosensory cortex organization in extreme body users, cortical hand map plasticity, and the effects of pharmacological agents on perceptual learning. Dr Dempsey-Jones is available for research supervision and collaborates across disciplines to advance understanding of human perception and neural adaptation.
Her work has been published in high-impact journals like Science Advances, Current Biology, and Journal of Neurophysiology, reflecting contributions to cognitive neuroscience and experimental psychology.
