About

Dr. M. Bosse-Platiere is a leading researcher at the intersection of social neuroscience and human-robot interaction, whose work explores how multisensory bodily illusions can reshape social cognition. Her most cited work, "Embodiment into a robot increases its acceptability" (2019, 44 citations), demonstrates a groundbreaking neuroscience-inspired procedure that allows human subjects to "beam" into distinct robots, fundamentally altering their social attitudes toward those machines. By leveraging principles of embodiment—where synchronized multisensory cues create a sense of ownership over an artificial body—Bosse-Platiere has shown that this experience can increase closeness, empathy, and reduce implicit biases, even toward robots. This research bridges the gap between bodily self-consciousness and social robotics, offering a powerful tool for improving human-robot acceptance. Her contributions are pivotal for designing more intuitive and socially integrated robotic systems, with implications for assistive technology, therapy, and human-machine collaboration. With a growing citation impact, Bosse-Platiere’s work stands at the forefront of using embodied cognition to foster positive social change, making her a key figure in the future of human-robot coexistence.
