Illusory hand ownership in a patient with personal neglect for the upper limb, but no somatoparaphenia

Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich, Andrea Serino, Roberta Ronchi

The symptoms of patients with left personal neglect are characterized by inattention towards contralesional (left) body parts while at the same time explicitly ascertaining ownership for the neglected hemibody. It is currently unknown if personal neglect i ...

System and methods for using thereof for predicting hallucinations

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini

A system for predicting a likelihood of an occurrence of hallucinations in a subject including a master device configured to be at least one of moved, moved on, and manipulated by a subject, a slave device operably connected with the master device and adap ...

Audio-Tactile and Peripersonal Space Processing Around the Trunk in Human Parietal and Temporal Cortex: An Intracranial EEG Study

Olaf Blanke, Jean-Paul Noel, Andrea Serino, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Fosco Bernasconi, Hyeongdong Park

Interactions with the environment happen within one's peripersonal space (PPS)-the space surrounding the body. Studies in monkeys and humans have highlighted a multisensory distributed cortical network representing the PPS. However, knowledge about the tem ...

Preliminary Study: Effects of Visual Distortion on Standing Balance Motion Amplitude and Visual Dependency on an Unstable Surface

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Olaf Blanke, Jemina Fasola

Visual feedback is a common method to enhance motor learning and is widely used in rehabilitation institutes. Although balance training with visual feedback has shown positive results, the most effective way to provide the feedback is still open to researc ...

Modulation of vection latencies in the full-body illusion

Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Alessandro Nesti

Current neuroscientific models of bodily self-consciousness (BSC) argue that inaccurate integration of sensory signals leads to altered states of BSC. Indeed, using virtual reality technology, observers viewing a fake or virtual body while being exposed to ...

Behavioural, modeling, and electrophysiological evidence for supramodality in human metacognition

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre

Human metacognition, or the capacity to introspect on one's own mental states, has been mostly characterized through confidence reports in visual tasks. A pressing question is to what extent results from visual studies generalize to other domains. Answerin ...

Rethinking Body Ownership in Schizophrenia: Experimental and Meta-analytical Approaches Show no Evidence for Deficits

Michael Herzog, Olaf Blanke, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Roy Salomon, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder, in which patients experience an abnormal sense of self. While deficits in sensorimotor self-representation (agency) are well docu- mented in schizophrenia, less is known about other aspects of bodily self-rep ...

Congruent Visuo-Tactile Feedback Facilitates the Extension of Peripersonal Space

Hannes Bleuler, Olaf Blanke, Ali Sengül, Michiel van Elk

Effective tool use relies on the integration of multisensory signals related to one's body and the tool. It has been shown that active tool use results in an extension of peripersonal space, i. e., the space directly surrounding the human body. In the pres ...

Unconscious integration of multisensory bodily inputs in the peripersonal space shapes bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Jean-Paul Noel, Andrea Serino, Marta Lukowska, Nathan Quentin Faivre

Recent studies have highlighted the role of multisensory integration as a key mechanism of self-consciousness. In particular, integration of bodily signals within the peripersonal space (PPS) underlies the experience of the self in a body we own (self-iden ...

Entrainment of Voluntary Movement to Undetected Auditory Regularities

Olaf Blanke, Leila Cammoun, Aaron Schurger, Nathan Quentin Faivre

In physics “entrainment” refers to the synchronization of two coupled oscillators with similar fundamental frequencies. In behavioral science, entrainment refers to the tendency of humans to synchronize their movements with rhythmic stimuli. Here, we asked ...

Increasing upper limb training intensity in chronic stroke using embodied virtual reality: a pilot study

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Olaf Blanke, Gangadhar Garipelli, Andrea Serino, Thomas Schmidlin, Odile Hélène Chevalley

Background: Technology-mediated neurorehabilitation is suggested to enhance training intensity and therefore functional gains. Here, we used a novel virtual reality (VR) system for task-specific upper extremity training after stroke. The system offers inte ...

Virtual reality improves embodiment and neuropathic pain caused by spinal cord injury

Olaf Blanke, Estelle Palluel, Polona Pozeg, Roberta Ronchi, Marco Solcà

Objective: To investigate changes in body ownership and chronic neuropathic pain in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) using multisensory own body illusions and virtual reality (VR). Methods: Twenty patients with SCI with paraplegia and 20 healthy cont ...

Interplay between Narrative and Bodily Self in Access to Consciousness: No Difference between Self- and Non-self Attributes

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Jean-Paul Noel, Andrea Serino

The construct of the self is conceived as being fundamental in promoting survival. As such, extensive studies have documented preferential processing of self-relevant stimuli. For example, attributes that relate to the self are better encoded and retrieved ...

Characterizing first and third person viewpoints and their alternation for embodied interaction in virtual reality

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Sidney Bovet, Henrique Galvan Debarba

Empirical research on the bodily self has shown that the body representation is malleable, and prone to manipulation when conflicting sensory stimuli are presented. Using Virtual Reality (VR) we assessed the effects of manipulating multisensory feedback (f ...

Interoceptive signals impact visual processing: Cardiac modulation of visual body perception

Olaf Blanke, Javier Bello Ruiz, Christian Pfeiffer, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Roberta Ronchi, Fosco Bernasconi

Multisensory perception research has largely focused on exteroceptive signals, but recent evidence has revealed the integration of exteroceptive signals with interoceptive information. Such research revealed that heartbeat signals affect sensory (e.g., vis ...
