Bliss in and Out of the Body: The (Extra)Corporeal Space Is Impervious to Social Pleasant Touch
Brain Sciences, 2021 Slow, gentle stimulation of hairy skin is generally accompanied by hedonic sensations. This phenomenon, also known as (positive) affective touch, is likely to be the basis of affiliative interactions with conspecifics by promoting inter-individual ...

What colour is my arm? Changes in skin colour of an embodied virtual arm modulates pain threshold
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 It has been demonstrated that visual inputs can modulate pain. However, the influence of skin colour on pain perception is unknown. Red skin is associated to inflamed, hot and more sensitive skin while blue is associated to cold. We aimed to test whether

Just a heartbeat away from one's body: interoceptive sensitivity predicts malleability of body-representations [PDF]
, 2011 Body-awareness relies on the representation of both interoceptive and exteroceptive percepts coming from one's body. However, the exact relationship and possible interaction of interoceptive and exteroceptive systems for body-awareness remain unknown. We

Bodily pleasure matters: Velocity of touch modulates body ownership during the rubber hand illusion
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 The sense of body ownership represents a fundamental aspect of our self-consciousness. Influential experimental paradigms, such as the rubber hand illusion (RHI), in which a seen rubber hand is experienced as part of one’s body when one’s own unseen hand

Visuotactile integration modulates motor performance in a perceptual decision-making task
Scientific Reports, 2017 Body ownership is critically dependent on multimodal integration as for instance revealed in the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) and a number of studies which have addressed the neural correlates of the processes underlying this phenomenon.

The Architectonic Experience of Body and Space in Augmented Interiors
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 The environment shapes our experience of space in constant interaction with the body. Architectonic interiors amplify the perception of space through the bodily senses; an effect also known as embodiment.

What is embodiment? a psychometric approach [PDF]
, 2008 What is it like to have a body? The present study takes a psychometric approach to this question. We collected structured introspective reports of the rubber hand illusion, to systematically investigate the structure of bodily self-consciousness ...

Body ownership and the four-hand illusion [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractRecent studies of the rubber hand illusion (RHI) have shown that the sense of body ownership is constrained by several factors and yet is still very flexible. However, exactly how flexible is our sense of body ownership? In this study, we address this issue by investigating the following question: is it possible that one may have the illusory ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
