Predisposition to Out-of-Body Experience (OBE) is associated with aberrations in multisensory integration:psychophysiological support from a “rubber-hand illusion” study [PDF]
It has been argued that disorders in body-ownership and aberrant experiences in self-consciousness are due to biases in multisensory integration. Here we examine whether such biases are also associated with spontaneous Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs) in a

“Laid to Rest in Australian Soil”: The Legacies of Repatriation Policy Change during the Vietnam War
For the first half of the twentieth century, Australia maintained a firm policy of non‐repatriation. Military personnel who died overseas were buried in vast military cemeteries administered by the Imperial (later Commonwealth) War Graves Commission. In 1966, however, the Australian government decreed that Australia's war dead could be repatriated, at ...

The Rubber Hand Illusion: Two's a company, but three's a crowd [PDF]
On the one hand, it is often assumed that the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) is constrained by a structural body model so that one cannot implement supernumerary limbs. On the other hand, several recent studies reported illusory duplication of the right hand

Transcending the self in immersive virtual reality [PDF]
Cognitive neuroscientists have discovered various experimental setups that suggest that our body representation is surprisingly flexible, where the brain can easily be tricked into the illusion that a rubber hand is your hand or that a manikin body is ...

Sensations of skin infestation linked to abnormal frontolimbic brain reactivity and differences in self-representation [PDF]
Some patients experience skin sensations of infestation and contamination that are elusive to proximate dermatological explanation. We undertook a functional magnetic resonance imaging study of the brain to demonstrate, for the first time, that central ...

Swamped: On Depression and Vision
ABSTRACT “Swamped” cracks open my experience of depression by exploring how a specific place—a swamp—acted on me to bring social and emotional injuries, but also modes of seeing that ultimately moved me out of the depression, to the fore. In writing from this specific place, I build on moments in which something—a desire for beauty, the luminosity of ...

New reflections on agency and body ownership : The moving rubber hand illusion in the mirror [PDF]
No previous study has simultaneously examined body ownership and agency in healthy subjects during mirror self-observation. We used a moving rubber hand illusion to examine how both body ownership and agency are affected by seeing (i) the body moving in ...

Complementary Perspectives and Metrics Are Essential to End Deforestation
ABSTRACT Recent public and private policies seek to end deforestation by regulating the production and trade of forest‐risk commodities. The design, implementation, and evaluation of these policies rely on metrics that are typically bounded in scope by either territories or supply chains, and therefore only provide a partial account of deforestation on

Visuo-thermal congruency modulates the sense of body ownership
Data from participants engaging in a rubber hand illusion task suggest that thermosensation contributes to the sense of body ownership by dynamically integrating visual and thermosensory signals.
