Distortion of mental body representations
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2022Our body is central to our sense of self, and distorted body representations are found in several serious medical conditions. This paper reviews evidence that distortions of body representations are also common in healthy individuals, and occur in domains including tactile spatial perception, proprioception, and the conscious body image. Across domains,

Body representations and brain damage
Neurophysiologie Clinique/Clinical Neurophysiology, 2014We review changes in body representation in patients with brain hemisphere damage and discuss their relationship with impaired limb movements in peripersonal space, navigation between objects/obstacles and control of the body's general posture and balance.

Somatosensory processing and body representation
Cortex, 2009Recent years have seen increasing numbers of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies focusing on somatosensory processing. Most have centered on the primary somatosensory functions of tactile detection, localization and discrimination, and have applied TMS to primary somatosensory areas.

Multisensory Integration in Body Representation
To be aware of and to move one's body, the brain must maintain a coherent representation of the body. While the body and the brain are connected by dense ascending and descending sensory and motor pathways, representation of the body is not hardwired.Wen, Fang, Yuqi, Liu, Liping, Wang

Body-specific representations of spatial location
Cognition, 2012The body specificity hypothesis (Casasanto, 2009) posits that the way in which people interact with the world affects their mental representation of information. For instance, right- versus left-handedness affects the mental representation of affective valence, with right-handers categorically associating good with rightward areas and bad with leftward

Dynamic Representations of Human Body Movement
Perception, 1999Psychophysical and neurophysiological studies suggest that human body motions can be readily recognized. Human bodies are highly articulated and can move in a nonrigid manner. As a result, we perceive highly dissimilar views of the human form in motion.

Body Representation and Neuroprosthetics
2014Neuroprosthetics refer to prosthetic devices designed according to neuroscientific principles and interfacing directly with the nervous system. We propose a fundamental distinction between receptor prosthetics and somatic prosthetics. Receptor prosthetics involve substituting or augmenting the signals that the peripheral end-organ sends to the brain ...

Taxonomies of Body Representations
2017This chapter considers the relationship between body representations, action, and bodily experiences. It first clarifies the conceptual landscape of body representations and stresses the conceptual and empirical difficulties that the current body schema/body image taxonomy faces, difficulties that can be explained by their constant interaction but not ...
