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.

A supramodal representation of the body surface [PDF]
Neuropsychologia, 2011 The ability to accurately localize both tactile and painful sensations on the body is one of the most important functions of the somatosensory system. Most accounts of localization refer to the systematic spatial relation between skin receptors and cortical neurons.

Full body illusion is associated with widespread skin temperature reduction
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013 A central feature of our consciousness is the experience of the self as a unified entity residing in a physical body, termed bodily self-consciousness. This phenomenon includes aspects such as the sense of owning a body (also known as body ownership) and

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

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

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 ...
