On the very idea of a frame of reference [PDF]
, 2006 It is widely assumed, both in philosophy and in the cognitive sciences, that perception essentially involves a relative or egocentric frame of reference.

Leftward Deviation and Asymmetric Speed of Egocentric Judgment between Left and Right Visual Fields
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017 The egocentric reference frame is essential for body orientation and spatial localization of external objects. Recent neuroimaging and lesion studies have revealed that the right hemisphere of humans may play a more dominant role in processing egocentric

, 2011 We report two experiments on the relationship between allocentric/egocentric frames of reference and categorical/coordinate spatial relations. Jager and Postma (2003) suggest two theoretical possibilities about their relationship: categorical ...

“I'm a Good Guy Who Deserves Better, Yet Nobody Wants to Give me Better”: The Accounts of Nice Guys
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Within Western popular culture and online discourse, a “Nice Guy” is someone who enacts niceness for which they believe they are owed, deserving of, or entitled to something in return—especially the romantic or sexual attention of women. In this study, we examine the use of accounts in personal narratives told in an anonymous online discussion forum ...

Effect of painful and non-painful sensorimotor manipulations on subjective body midline
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Patients with chronic pain often show disturbances in their body perception. Understanding the exact role played by pain is however complex, as confounding factors can contribute to the observed deficits in these clinical populations.

Entorhinal-retrosplenial circuits for allocentric-egocentric transformation of boundary coding
eLife, 2020 Spatial navigation requires landmark coding from two perspectives, relying on viewpoint-invariant and self-referenced representations. The brain encodes information within each reference frame but their interactions and functional dependency remains ...

Spatial hyperschematia without spatial neglect after insulo-thalamic disconnection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Different spatial representations are not stored as a single multipurpose map in the brain. Right brain-damaged patients can show a distortion, a compression of peripersonal and extrapersonal space.

Interaction of Egocentric and World-Centered Reference Frames in the Rat Posterior Parietal Cortex [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2014 Navigation requires coordination of egocentric and allocentric spatial reference frames and may involve vectorial computations relative to landmarks. Creation of a representation of target heading relative to landmarks could be accomplished from neurons that encode the conjunction of egocentric landmark bearings with allocentric head direction ...

Can riots represent? A democratic theory
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Political theory has been perennially concerned with interrogating, identifying, and clarifying the political functions of riots. Yet, political theorists have mostly fallen short of explaining the relationship between riots and democracy, although this is central to the democratic theory of contestation and crucial for evaluating the ...
