Somatosensory prior entry [PDF]

open access: yesAttention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2009
The perceived timing of sensory events does not necessarily match the actual timing. In the present study, we investigated the effect of location of attention on the perceived timing of somatosensory stimuli. Participants judged the temporal order of two taps, delivered one to each hand, with taps presented at different elevations (upper and lower) on ...

Perceptual and Conceptual Distortions of Implicit Hand Maps

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Recent studies have revealed that human position sense relies on a massively distorted representation of hand size and shape. By comparing the judged location of landmarks on an occluded hand, Longo and Haggard (2010) constructed implicit perceptual maps

Brain oxygenation patterns during the execution of tool use demonstration, tool use pantomime, and body-part-as-object tool use [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
© 2015 Elsevier B.V. Divergent findings exist whether left and right hemispheric pre- and postcentral cortices contribute to the production of tool use related hand movements. In order to clarify the neural substrates of tool use demonstrations with tool

Somatosensory mismatch response in young and elderly adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014
Aging is associated with cognitive decline and alterations in early perceptual processes. Studies in the auditory and visual modalities have shown that the mismatch negativity (or the mismatch response, MMR), an event-related potential (ERP) elicited by ...

Eye position representation in human anterior parietal cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Eye position helps locate visual targets relative to one's own body and modulates the distribution of attention in visual space. Whereas in the monkey, proprioceptive eye position signals have been recorded in the somatosensory cortex, in humans, no ...

Sisymbrium Officinale (the Singers’ Plant) as an Ingredient: Analysis of Somatosensory Active Volatile Isothiocyanates in Model Food and Drinks

open access: yesFoods, 2021
Sisymbrium officinale (L.) Scop. (hedge mustard) is a wild common plant of the Brassicaceae family. It is known as “the singers’ plant” for its traditional use in treating aphonia and vocal disability.

Tactile-STAR: A Novel Tactile STimulator And Recorder System for Evaluating and Improving Tactile Perception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Many neurological diseases impair the motor and somatosensory systems. While several different technologies are used in clinical practice to assess and improve motor functions, somatosensation is evaluated subjectively with qualitative clinical scales ...

The effectiveness of proprioceptive training for improving motor function: a systematic review

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Objective: Numerous reports advocate that training of the proprioceptive sense is a viable behavioral therapy for improving impaired motor function. However, there is little agreement of what constitutes proprioceptive training and how effective it is ...

Functional and structural brain differences associated with mirror-touch synaesthesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Observing touch is known to activate regions of the somatosensory cortex but the interpretation of this finding is controversial (e.g. does it reflect the simulated action of touching or the simulated reception of touch?).

Interpersonal Influences on Body Representations in the Infant Brain

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
Within cognitive neuroscience, there is burgeoning interest in how the body is represented in the adult brain. However, there are large gaps in the understanding of neural body representations from a developmental perspective.
