Neuroscience robotics to investigate multisensory integration and bodily awareness

Roger Gassert, Dominique Chapuis, Roberto Martuzzi, Olaf Blanke, Silvio Ionta, Christian Pfeiffer, Julio Duenas

Humans experience the self as localized within their body. This aspect of bodily self-consciousness can be experimentally manipulated by exposing individuals to conflicting multisensory input, or can be abnormal following focal brain injury. Recent technol ...

Modulation of bodily self-consciousness with proprioceptive alteration at the lower limbs

I feel who I see: visual body identity affects visual-tactile integration in peripersonal space

Olaf Blanke, Jane Aspell, Michiel van Elk, Roy Salomon

Recent studies have shown the importance of integrating multisensory information in the body representation for constituting self-consciousness. However, one idea that has received only scant attention is that our body representation is also constituted by ...

Multisensory conflicts modulate spatial aspects of bodily self-consciousness

Agency, gait and self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape

Agency is an important aspect of bodily self-consciousness, allowing us to separate own movements from those induced by the environment and to distinguish own movements from those of other agents. Unsurprisingly, theoretical frameworks for agency such as c ...

Extending the body to virtual tools using a robotic surgical interface: evidence from the crossmodal congruency task

Hannes Bleuler, Olaf Blanke, Jane Aspell, Giulio Rognini, Ali Sengül, Michiel van Elk

The effects of real-world tool use on body or space representations are relatively well established in cognitive neuroscience. Several studies have shown, for example, that active tool use results in a facilitated integration of multisensory information in ...

The thalamocortical vestibular system in animals and humans

Olaf Blanke, Christophe Lopez

The vestibular system provides the brain with sensory signals about three-dimensional head rotations and translations. These signals are important for postural and oculomotor control, as well as for spatial and bodily perception and cognition, and they are ...

Psychogenic amnesia and self-identity: a multimodal functional investigation

Olaf Blanke

Background: Patients with psychogenic amnesia generally suffer from episodic memory deficits associated with an impairment of self-identity. While the first is generally attributed to limbic dysfunction, the latter might be related to posterior parietal co ...

The relation between body semantics and spatial body representations

Olaf Blanke, Michiel van Elk

The present study addressed the relation between body semantics (i.e. semantic knowledge about the human body) and spatial body representations, by presenting participants with word pairs, one below the other, referring to body parts. The spatial position ...

Partial and full own-body illusions of epileptic origin in a child with right temporoparietal epilepsy

Olaf Blanke, Christophe Lopez, Lukas Heydrich

Partial and full own-body illusions of neurological origin have been claimed crucial to understand the contribution of bodily experience and perception to self-consciousness. Whereas partial body illusions are relatively common and well defined, much less ...

Leg muscle vibration modulates bodily self-consciousness: integration of proprioceptive, visual, and tactile signals

Olaf Blanke, Jane Aspell, Estelle Palluel

Behavioral studies have used visuo-tactile conflicts between a participant's body and a visually presented fake or virtual body to investigate the importance of bodily perception for self-consciousness (bodily self-consciousness). Illusory self-identificat ...

Seeing and identifying with a virtual body decreases pain perception

Roland von Känel, Olaf Blanke, Bigna Lenggenhager

Pain and the conscious mind (or the self) are experienced in our body. Both are intimately linked to the subjective quality of conscious experience. Here, we used virtual reality technology and visuo-tactile conflicts in healthy subjects to test whether ex ...

My face through the looking-glass: The effect of mirror reversal on reflection size estimation

Jakob Scherer, Olaf Blanke, Sebastian Dieguez Falcon

People tend to grossly overestimate the size of their mirror-reflected face. Although this overestimation bias is robust, not much is known about its relationships to self-face perception. In two experiments, we investigated the overestimation bias as a fu ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of visual vertical judgments: early and late brain mechanisms as revealed by high-density electrical neuroimaging

Olaf Blanke, Manuel Mercier, Pär Halje, Christophe Lopez

Constructing and updating an internal model of verticality is fundamental for maintaining an erect posture and facilitating visuo-spatial processing. The judgment of the visual vertical (VV) has been intensively studied in psychophysical investigations and ...
