The body schema: neural simulation for covert and overt actions of embodied cognitive agents
This brief commentary on the general topic of ‘body schema’ is focused on its computational role, as an internal model that integrates proprioceptive information, for allowing embodied cognitive agents to carry out the neural simulation of covert and ...

Motor-based bodily self is selectively impaired in eating disorders. [PDF]
Body representation disturbances in body schema (i.e. unconscious sensorimotor body representations for action) have been frequently reported in eating disorders. Recently, it has been proposed that body schema relies on adequate functioning of the motor

Body schema plasticity is altered in Developmental Coordination Disorder.
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a pathological condition characterized by impaired motor skills. Current theories advance that a deficit of the internal models is mainly responsible for DCD children's altered behavior. Yet, accurate movement

PHANTOM LIMBS AND THE BODY SCHEMA [PDF]
En 1911, Head et Holmes suggeraient l’existence, au niveau de la preconscience, d’une image corporelle ou “schema” jouant le role d’un modele postural avec lequel tous les changements d’attitude etaient mesures avant de penetrer jusqu’a la conscience.

The Phenomenology of the Body Schema and Contemporary Dance Practice: The Example of “Gaga”
In recent years, the notion of the body schema has been widely discussed, in particular in fields connecting philosophy, cognitive science, and dance studies, as it seems to have bearing across disciplines in a fruitful way.

Besides anthropometric variables, high-order body representations have been hypothesised to influence postural control. However, this has not been directly tested before.

Action and non-action oriented body representations. insight from behavioural and grey matter modifications in individuals with lower limb amputation [PDF]
Following current model of body representations, we aimed to systematically investigate the association between brain modifications, in terms of grey matter loss, and body representation deficits, in terms of alterations of the body schema (BS) and of ...

The Body Across Adulthood: On the Relation Between Interoception and Body Representations
Interoceptive information plays a pivotal role in building body representations (BR), but the association between interoception and the different types of BR in healthy individuals has never been systematically investigated.

Topological map of the body in post-stroke patients: lesional and hodological aspects [PDF]
Objective: It has been repeatedly hypothesized that at least 3 distinct types of body representations do exist: body schema, a representation derived from multiple sensory and motor inputs; topological map of the body, a structural description of spatial
