Body and peripersonal space representations in chronic stroke patients with upper limb motor deficits

Olaf Blanke, Silvestro Micera, Andrea Crema, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri, Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza

The continuous stream of multisensory information between the brain and the body during body-environment interactions is crucial to maintain the updated representation of the perceived dimensions of body parts (metric body representation) and the space aro ...

Breathing is coupled with voluntary initiation of mental imagery

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Hyeongdong Park

Previous research has suggested that bodily signals from internal organs are associated with diverse cortical and subcortical processes involved in sensory-motor functions, beyond homeostatic reflexes. For instance, a recent study demonstrated that the pre ...

p Robotically-induced hallucination triggers subtle changes in brain network transitions

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Giulio Rognini, Eva Blondiaux, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho

The perception that someone is nearby, although nobody can be seen or heard, is called presence hallucination (PH). Being a frequent hallucination in patients with Parkinson's disease, it has been argued to be indicative of a more severe and rapidly advanc ...

Evidence accumulation relates to perceptual consciousness and monitoring

Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Fosco Bernasconi, Wenwen Chang, Mi Xue Tan

A fundamental scientific question concerns the neural basis of perceptual consciousness and perceptual monitoring resulting from the processing of sensory events. Although recent studies identified neurons reflecting stimulus visibility, their functional r ...

Increased functional connectivity of the intraparietal sulcus underlies the attenuation of numerosity estimations for self-generated words

Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Jevita Potheegadoo, Giedre Stripeikyte

Previous studies have shown that self-generated stimuli in auditory, visual, and somatosensory domains are attenuated, producing decreased behavioral and neural responses compared to the same stimuli that are externally generated. Yet, whether such attenua ...

Enhancing analgesic spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain with personalized immersive virtual reality

Robin Mange, Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Andrea Serino, Marco Solcà, Pavo Orepic

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an approved treatment for truncal and limb neuropathic pain. However, pain relief is often suboptimal and SCS efficacy may reduce over time, requiring sometimes the addition of other pain therapies, stimulator revision, or ...

The perspectives of mapping and monitoring of the sense of self in neurosurgical patients

Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Giannina Rita Iannotti, Hyeongdong Park, Pavo Orepic, Sixto Luis Alcoba Banqueri, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka

Surgical treatment of tumors, epileptic foci or of vascular origin, requires a detailed individual pre-surgical workup and intra-operative surveillance of brain functions to minimize the risk of post-surgical neurological deficits and decline of quality of ...

Adapting Virtual Embodiment through Reinforcement Learning

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Thibault Serge Mario Porssut, Yawen Hou

In Virtual Reality, having a virtual body opens a wide range of possibilities as the participant's avatar can appear to be quite different from oneself for the sake of the targeted application (e.g. for perspective-taking). In addition, the system can part ...

EEG Spatiotemporal Patterns Underlying Self-other Voice Discrimination

Thomas Koenig, Olaf Blanke, Giannina Rita Iannotti, Pavo Orepic, Sixto Luis Alcoba Banqueri

There is growing evidence showing that the representation of the human “self” recruits special systems across different functions and modalities. Compared to self-face and self-body representations, few studies have investigated neural underpinnings specif ...

Virtual Reality platform for functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Ecologically valid conditions

Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Baptiste Gauthier, Louis Philippe Albert

Functional magnetic resonance Brain Imaging (fMRI) is a key non-invasive imaging technique for the study of human brain activity. Its millimetric spatial resolution is at the cost of several constraints: participants must remain static and experience artif ...

Interoception and Empathy Impact Perspective Taking

Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Jane Aspell, Lukas Heydrich

Adopting the perspective of another person is an important aspect of social cognition and has been shown to depend on multisensory signals from one's own body. Recent work suggests that interoceptive signals not only contribute to own-body perception and s ...

Application of virtual reality in neurosurgery: Patient missing. A systematic review

Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke

Virtual reality (VR) technology had its earliest developments in the 1970s in the U.S. Air Force and has since evolved into a budding area of scientific research with many practical medical purposes. VR shows a high potential to benefit to learners and tra ...

Fronto-Temporal Disconnection Within the Presence Hallucination Network in Psychotic Patients With Passivity Experiences

Patric Hagmann, Olaf Blanke, Alessandra Griffa, Pierre Progin, Giulio Rognini, Eva Blondiaux, Roy Salomon, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Jevita Potheegadoo, Giedre Stripeikyte, Kim Do

Psychosis, characterized by hallucinations and delusions, is a common feature of psychiatric disease, especially schizophrenia. One prominent theory posits that psychosis is driven by abnormal sensorimotor predictions leading to the misattribution of self- ...

Tactile spatial discrimination on the torso using vibrotactile and force stimulation

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Masayuki Hara, Matteo Franza

There is a steadily growing number of mobile communication systems that provide spatially encoded tactile information to the humans’ torso. However, the increased use of such hands-off displays is currently not matched with or supported by systematic perce ...
