Vestibular stimulation modifies the body schema

Neuropsychologia, 2012
Mental body representations are flexible and depend on sensory signals from the body and its surrounding. Clinical observations in amputees, paraplegics and brain-damaged patients suggest a vestibular contribution to the body schema, but studies using well-controlled psychophysical procedures are still lacking.

Disorders of body schema

2006
Abstract The brain contains multiple representations of the body. First, afferent inputs from the skin and proprioceptive receptors project to maps of the body surface and body segments, respectively, in the primary somatosensory cortex (Penfield and Rasmussen 1950).

Body Image and Body Schema

2005
The body, as the common ground for objectivity and (inter)subjectivity, is a phenomenon with a perplexing plurality of registers. Therefore, this innovative volume offers an interdisciplinary approach from the fields of neuroscience, phenomenology and psychoanalysis.

Emulator as body schema

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2004
Grush's emulator model appears to be consistent with the idea of a body schema, that is, a detailed mental representation of the body, its structure, and movement in relation to the environment. If the emulator is equivalent to a body schema, then the next step will be to specify how the emulator accounts for neuropsychological and developmental ...

Body Schema and Body Self

1988
I cannot exactly say that I have a body, but the mysterious link which unites me with my body is the root of my whole potential. The more I am my body, the more of reality is available to me. Things only exist inasmuch as they are in contact with my body and are perceived by it. Gabriel Marcel (1953)

The Neurobiology of the Body Schema

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1988
The history of a concept of a body schema is linked with the fact that the discovery that there is such a thing as a permanent, albeit vague perception that one has of one's own body, has been mainly in observations of its pathological manifestation in the clinic.

Body schema and body image in motor learning: refining Merleau-Ponty’s notion of body schema

2021
Abstract The aim of this chapter is to explicate the interrelated roles of body schema and body image in motor learning and to shed light on the phenomenology of body image from a fresh perspective. The chapter revisits how Merleau-Ponty conceptualized body schema in terms of the lived body.

Kinematic invariances and body schema

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1995
AbstractGeneralizing the notion that muscles are positional frames of reference, a high-dimensional muscle space is defined for multi-muscle systems with an embedded low-dimensional motor manifold of functional articulators. A central representation of such a manifold is proposed as computational body schema.

Body Schema and Body Image in Metaphorical Cognition

2017
Neurologists, philosophers, psychologists, and also linguists frequently employ the notion of the ‘body schema.’ Many divergent definitions of this notion were provided till Shaun Gallagher (1986) clarified the terminological and conceptual confusion by proposing a clear distinction between the two concepts of ‘body schema’ and body image.’ I propose ...

Proprioception and body schema

2018
Proprioception is our ability to sense the position of our own limbs and other body parts in space, and body schema is a body representation that allows both biological and artificial agents to execute their actions based on proprioception. The proprioceptive information used by current artificial agents (robots) is mainly related to posture (and its ...
