About
Nathan Faivre is a leading cognitive neuroscientist whose research lies at the intersection of consciousness, interoception, and psychopathology. His work primarily investigates how the brain constructs the sense of self and reality, with a particular focus on hallucinations and bodily awareness. Faivre’s major contributions include pioneering the use of robotics to experimentally induce hallucinations in both healthy individuals and patients with Parkinson’s disease—a method that has opened new avenues for studying psychosis without confounds found in clinical populations. His 2021 paper on robot-induced hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease (51 citations) revealed altered sensorimotor processing in fronto-temporal networks, while his 2015 study on body-related multisensory conflicts (22 citations) demonstrated how tactile and visual mismatches can modulate visual consciousness. More recently, Faivre has explored how breathing rhythms affect self-other voice discrimination (2022, 19 citations), linking interoception to somatic passivity. His innovative use of real-time fMRI neurofeedback to modulate induced hallucinations (2024, 5 citations) represents a promising therapeutic direction. With a growing body of work that bridges experimental psychology, computational modeling, and clinical neuroscience, Faivre is shaping our understanding of how the brain distinguishes self from other—and why that process can break down.
