Multimodal Contributions to Body Representation [PDF]
Our body is a unique entity by which we interact with the external world. Consequently, the way we represent our body has profound implications in the way we process and locate sensations and in turn perform appropriate actions. The body can be the subject, but also the object of our experience, providing information from sensations on the body surface

Rehabilitation of somatoparaphrenia with misoplegia: insights from a single case-pilot study [PDF]
Somatoparaphrenia lacka ownership of a paralyzed limb, i.e., the illusion that one’s limbs belong to someone else. Somatoparaphrenia is one of the many forms of body misperceptions.

Body ownership and agency altered by an electromyographically controlled robotic arm [PDF]
Understanding how we consciously experience our bodies is a fundamental issue in cognitive neuroscience. Two fundamental components of this are the sense of body ownership (the experience of the body as one's own) and the sense of agency (the feeling of ...

Both novelty and expertise increase action observation network activity
Our experiences with others affect how we perceive their actions. In particular, activity in bilateral premotor and parietal cortices during action observation, collectively known as the action observation network (AON), is modulated by one’s expertise ...

Adiabatic Hyperspherical Representation for the Three-body Problem in Two Dimensions [PDF]
We explore the three-body problem in two dimensions using the adiabatic hyperspherical representation. We develop the main equations in terms of democratic hyperangular coordinates and determine several symmetry properties and boundary conditions for ...

A 2.5-D representation of the human hand [PDF]
Primary somatosensory maps in the brain represent the body as a discontinuous, fragmented set of 2-D skin regions. We nevertheless experience our body as a coherent 3-D volumetric object.

Action and non-action oriented body representations. insight from behavioural and grey matter modifications in individuals with lower limb amputation [PDF]
Following current model of body representations, we aimed to systematically investigate the association between brain modifications, in terms of grey matter loss, and body representation deficits, in terms of alterations of the body schema (BS) and of ...

Body Representation in Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder that mainly affects young women. One of the most striking symptoms of this disorder is the distorted experience of body size and shape. Patients are by definition underweight, but experience and perceive their body as bigger than it in reality is. This body representation disturbance has fascinated scientists

Implicit body representations and the conscious body image [PDF]
Recent studies have revealed that somatosensory processing relies on a class of implicit body representations showing large distortions of size and shape. The relation between these representations and the conscious body image remains unclear. Dissociations have been reported in the clinical literature on eating disorders between different body image ...

A variational problem on Stiefel manifolds [PDF]
In their paper on discrete analogues of some classical systems such as the rigid body and the geodesic flow on an ellipsoid, Moser and Veselov introduced their analysis in the general context of flows on Stiefel manifolds.
