Body: Social-Representational Regard

open access: yesPsychology and Law, 2023
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our focus in this paper is the discussion of the body as an object of research in the theory of social representations, which determines the aim of the theoretical and analytical study. The body is an inherently complex and polymorphous object that lies at the intersection of a number of diverse dimensions ...

Mirror Box Training in Hemiplegic Stroke Patients Affects Body Representation

open access: yesFrontiers 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).

More than skin deep: body representation beyond primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The neural circuits underlying initial sensory processing of somatic information are relatively well understood. In contrast, the processes that go beyond primary somatosensation to create more abstract representations related to the body are less clear.

Precise Model for Small-Body Thermal Radiation Pressure Acting on Spacecraft [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A precise representation of small-body surface thermal radiation pressure effects acting on orbiting spacecraft is discussed. The proposed framework takes advantage of a general Fourier series expansion to compute small-body surface thermal radiation ...

Implicit and Explicit Body Representations [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Psychologist, 2015
Several forms of perception require that sensory information be referenced to representations of the size and shape of the body. This requirement is especially acute in somatosensation in which the main receptor surface (i.e., the skin) is itself coextensive with the body.

Factors associated with the modulation of pain by visual distortion of body size.

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

The Influence of Body Processing in the Development of Empathy in Early Adolescence: A Preliminary Study

open access: yesBiology 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.

The homuncular jigsaw: investigations of phantom limb and body awareness following brachial plexus block or avulsion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Many neuropsychological theories agree that the brain maintains a relatively persistent representation of one's own body, as indicated by vivid "phantom" experiences.

Mind the Gap: The Effects of Temporal and Spatial Separation in Localization of Dual Touches on the Hand

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
