About

Giulia Caserta’s research lies at the compelling intersection of human-computer interaction, virtual embodiment, and biofeedback technologies. Her most-cited work, “Exploring the Embodiment of a Virtual Hand in a Spatially Augmented Respiratory Biofeedback Setting” (2021, 16 citations), makes a significant contribution by investigating how respiratory biofeedback can enhance the sense of ownership over a virtual limb—a critical factor for improving prosthetic acceptance and human-machine interaction. Rather than relying solely on traditional visuo-tactile strategies, Caserta pioneers spatially augmented approaches that leverage breathing patterns to foster embodiment. This innovative framework has implications not only for rehabilitation and assistive technologies but also for immersive virtual reality experiences. Her work is notable for bridging physiological signals with perceptual psychology, offering a more holistic understanding of how the body and technology can seamlessly integrate. Caserta’s research is already shaping conversations around embodied interaction, and her findings hold promise for designing more intuitive, human-centered interfaces in healthcare and beyond.
