Inferior frontal oscillations reveal visuo-motor matching for actions and speech: evidence from human intracranial recordings

The neural correspondence between the systems responsible for the execution and recognition of actions has been suggested both in humans and non-human primates. Apart from being a key region of this visuo-motor observation-execution matching (OEM) system, ...

The Brain Network reflecting Bodily Self-Consciousness: a functional connectivity study

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Silvio Ionta, Roberto Martuzzi

Several brain regions are important for processing self-location and first-person perspective, two important aspects of bodily self-consciousness. However, the interplay between these regions has not been clarified. In addition, while self-location and fir ...

Neuroscience robotics to investigate multisensory integration and bodily awareness

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

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 ...

Mental imagery for full and upper human bodies: common right hemisphere activations and distinct extrastriate activations

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr, Silvio Ionta

The processing of human bodies is important in social life and for the recognition of another person's actions, moods, and intentions. Recent neuroimaging studies on mental imagery of human body parts suggest that the left hemisphere is dominant in body pr ...

Subjective mental time: the functional architecture of projecting the self to past and future

Olaf Blanke, Silvio Ionta

Human experience takes place in the line of mental time (MT) created through 'self-projection' of oneself to different time-points in the past or future. Here we manipulated self-projection in MT not only with respect to one's life events but also with res ...

Electrically Assisted Movement Therapy in Chronic Stroke Patients With Severe Upper Limb Paresis: A Pilot, Single-Blind, Randomized Crossover Study

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Silvio Ionta, Stephanie Clarke, Andrea Biasiucci, Andrea Maesani

Objective To evaluate the effects of electrically assisted movement therapy (EAMT) in which patients use functional electrical stimulation, modulated by a custom device controlled through the patient's unaffected hand, to produce or assist task-specific up ...

3-Dimensional magnetic resonance imaging of the freely moving human eye

Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Silvio Ionta, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Jérôme Yerly, Lorenzo Di Sopra

Eye motion is a major confound for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in neuroscience or ophthalmology. Currently, solutions toward eye stabilisation include participants fixating or administration of paralytics/anaesthetics. We developed a novel MRI protoco ...

Anatomically plausible illusory posture affects mental rotation of body parts

Anna Sforza, Olaf Blanke, Silvio Ionta

During mental rotation (MR) of body parts, people internally simulate the movement of their corresponding body segments. These sensory-motor mechanisms render MR sensitive to proprioceptive information (e.g., posture). Similar mechanisms can alter illusory ...

Differential influence of hands posture on mental rotation of hands and feet in left and right handers

Olaf Blanke, Silvio Ionta

The representation of the body in the brain is continuously updated with regard to peripheral factors such as position or movement of body parts. In the present study, we investigated the effects of arm posture on the mental rotation of hands and feet. Six ...
