Mirror Box Training in Hemiplegic Stroke Patients Affects Body Representation
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018 The brain integrates multisensory inputs coming from the body (i.e., proprioception, tactile sensations) and the world that surrounds it (e.g., visual information).

Body Representation in Anorexia Nervosa
, 2021 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

Asymmetrical representation of body orientation
Journal of Vision, 2013 The perceived orientation of objects, gravity, and the body are biased to the left. Whether this leftward bias is attributable to biases in sensing or processing vestibular, visual, and body sense cues has never been assessed directly. The orientation in which characters are most easily recognized--the perceived upright (PU)--can be well predicted from

Predictive Processing and Body Representation
, 2021 We introduce the predictive processing account of body representation, according to which body representation emerges via a domain-general scheme of (long-term) prediction error minimisation. We contrast this account against one where body representation is underpinned by domain-specific systems, whose exclusive function is to track the body.

Factors associated with the modulation of pain by visual distortion of body size.
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Modulation of pain using visual distortion of body size (VDBS) has been the subject of various reports. However, the mechanism underlying the effect of VDBS on pain has been less often studied.

Multisensory Integration Dominates Hypnotisability and Expectations in the Rubber Hand Illusion
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 Some recent papers by P. Lush and colleagues have argued that the rubber hand illusion (RHI), where participants can feel a rubber hand as their own under appropriate multisensory stimulation, may be caused mainly by hypnotic suggestibility and ...

Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2022 Mental representations in various bodily formats (e.g., somatosensory, interoceptive, motoric) have been suggested to play a pivotal role in social cognition. However, data on children and adolescents are lacking.

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018 In this study, we aimed to relate the findings from two predominantly separate streams of literature, one reporting on the localization of single touches on the skin, and the other on the distance perception of dual touches.

Tool use imagery triggers tool incorporation in the body schema
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Tool-use has been shown to modify the way the brain represents the metrical characteristics of the effector controlling the tool. For example, the use of tools that elongate the physical length of the arm induces kinematic changes affecting selectively ...
