Whole-Body Roll Tilt Influences Goal-Directed Upper Limb Movements through the Perceptual Tilt of Egocentric Reference Frame [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 In our day-to-day life, we can accurately reach for an object in our gravitational environment without any effort. This can be achieved even when the body is tilted relative to gravity.

Patterns of Bimanual Interference Reveal Movement Encoding within a Radial Egocentric Reference Frame [PDF]
Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2002 Abstract Constraints on interlimb coordination have been studied intensively in past years with a primary focus on temporal features. The present study addressed spatial constraints or the degree of directional interference as a function of different line combinations between the upper limbs as well as the modulation of this interference

The neural basis of the egocentric and allocentric spatial frame of reference [PDF]
Brain Research, 2006 The present study examines the functional and anatomical underpinnings of egocentric and allocentric coding of spatial coordinates. For this purpose, we set up a functional magnet resonance imaging experiment using verbal descriptions of spatial relations either with respect to the listener (egocentric) or without any body-centered relations ...

Navigating space and the developing mind [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIn this article, we review the extensive and complex fabric of literature concerning the ontogenesis of spatial representations from earliest childhood to the elderly, including normal and abnormal aging (dementia and Alzheimer’s disease).

Sensing flow gradients is necessary for learning autonomous underwater navigation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAquatic animals are much better at underwater navigation than robotic vehicles. Robots face major challenges in deep water because of their limited access to global positioning signals and flow maps.

Right parietal lesions, unilateral spatial neglect, and the egocentric frame of reference
NeuroImage, 2003 Recently, the hypothesis has been proposed that the crucial mechanism leading to neglect is the disturbed transformation of sensory input into a supramodal egocentric frame of reference (ER), which causes in turn a deviation of this reference frame toward the side ipsilateral to the brain lesion.

Allocentric and egocentric spatial representations coexist in rodent medial entorhinal cortex [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSuccessful navigation relies on reciprocal transformations between spatial representations in world-centered (allocentric) and self-centered (egocentric) frames of reference.

Identifying a distractor produces object-based inhibition in an allocentric reference frame for saccade planning [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWe investigated whether distractor inhibition occurs relative to the target or fixation in a perceptual decision-making task using a purely saccadic response. Previous research has shown that during the process of discriminating a target from distractor,

Social knowledge about others is anchored to self-knowledge in the hippocampal formation. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyMounting evidence suggests the human hippocampal formation (HF) maps how different people's attributes relate to each other. Yet, it's unclear if hippocampal map-like knowledge representations of other people are shaped by self-knowledge.
