The relationship between the body and the environment in the virtual world: The interpupillary distance affects the body size perception. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2020 Previous research suggests that the size of one’s body is used as a metric to scale the external world. On the other hand, the influence of information from the external world on the perception of body size is unclear.

Oral somatosensatory acuity is related to particle size perception in chocolate. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Texture affects liking or rejection of many foods for clinically relevant populations and the general public. Phenotypic differences in chemosensation are well documented and influence food choices, but oral touch perception is less understood.

Body size perception in stroke patients with paresis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Recent studies have suggested that people's intent and ability to act also can influence their perception of their bodies' peripersonal space. Vice versa one could assume that the inability to reach toward and grasp an object might have an impact on the ...

Numerical values modulate size perception. [PDF]
Atten Percept PsychophysAbstractThe link between various codes of magnitude and their interactions has been studied extensively for many years. In the current study, we examined how the physical and numerical magnitudes of digits are mapped into a combined mental representation.

Size Perception Biases Are Temporally Stable and Vary Consistently Between Visual Field Meridians. [PDF]
Iperception, 2019 The apparent size of visual stimuli depends on where in the visual field they appear. We recently presented a model of how size perception could be biased by stimulus encoding in retinotopic cortex.

Independent adaptation mechanisms for numerosity and size perception provide evidence against a common sense of magnitude. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 How numerical quantity is processed is a central issue for cognition. On the one hand the “number sense theory” claims that numerosity is perceived directly, and may represent an early precursor for acquisition of mathematical skills.

Embodiment in a Child-Like Talking Virtual Body Influences Object Size Perception, Self-Identification, and Subsequent Real Speaking. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 People’s mental representations of their own body are malleable and continuously updated through sensory cues. Altering one’s body-representation can lead to changes in object perception and implicit attitudes.
