Expansion and contraction of resource allocation in sensory bottlenecks

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Topographic sensory representations often do not scale proportionally to the size of their input regions, with some expanded and others contracted. In vision, the foveal representation is magnified cortically, as are the fingertips in touch.

Functional and structural brain differences associated with mirror-touch synaesthesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Observing touch is known to activate regions of the somatosensory cortex but the interpretation of this finding is controversial (e.g. does it reflect the simulated action of touching or the simulated reception of touch?).

Active tactile discrimination is coupled with and modulated by the cardiac cycle

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Perception and cognition are modulated by the phase of the cardiac signal in which the stimuli are presented. This has been shown by locking the presentation of stimuli to distinct cardiac phases.
