A motion illusion reveals mechanisms of perceptual stabilization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Visual illusions are valuable tools for the scientific examination of the mechanisms underlying perception. In the peripheral drift illusion special drift patterns appear to move although they are static.

Did My Hand Move in a Mirror? Body Ownership Induced by the Mirror Hand Illusion
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 Although the illusion that the mirror image of a hand or limb could be recognized as a part of one’s body behind the mirror, the effect of adding tactile stimulation to this illusion remains unknown.

Crossing the hands increases illusory self-touch.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Manipulation of hand posture, such as crossing the hands, has been frequently used to study how the body and its immediately surrounding space are represented in the brain. Abundant data show that crossed arms posture impairs remapping of tactile stimuli

Individual Differences in the Rubber Hand Illusion Are Related to Sensory Suggestibility. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In the rubber hand illusion (RHI), watching a rubber hand being stroked in synchrony with one's own hidden hand may induce a sense of ownership over the rubber hand.

The infuence of skin colour on the experience of ownership in the rubber hand illusion [PDF]
, 2017 Racial prejudice is associated with a fundamental distinction between "us" and "them"-a distinction linked to the perceived overlap between representations of the self and others.

PLoS ONE, 2020 Proprioception acquires a crucial role in estimating the configuration of our body segments in space when visual information is not available. Proprioceptive accuracy is assessed by asking participants to match the perceived position of an unseen body ...

Limb position sense, proprioceptive drift and muscle thixotropy at the human elbow joint [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2014 Key points When a blindfolded subject holds his or her arm at a particular angle, its reported position shifts over time; this is known as proprioceptive drift. Here, we show that in relation to position sense at the elbow, the direction of perceived shifts is consistent with adaptation in discharge levels of sensory receptors in elbow muscles. Raising

Pleasant touch moderates the subjective but not objective aspects of body perception
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013 Un-myelinated C tactile afferents (CT afferents) are a key finding in affective touch. These fibres, which activate in response to a caress-like touch to hairy skin (CT afferents are not found in palm skin), may have more in common with interoceptive ...

Intention Tremor and Deficits of Sensory Feedback Control in Multiple Sclerosis: a Pilot Study [PDF]
, 2014 Background Intention tremor and dysmetria are leading causes of upper extremity disability in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The development of effective therapies to reduce tremor and dysmetria is hampered by insufficient understanding of how the distributed,
