Acute stress affects peripersonal space representation in cortisol stress responders

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Andrea Serino, Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel, John Christian Thoresen

Peripersonal space is the representation of the space near the body. It is implemented by a dedicated multisensory-motor network, whose purpose is to predict and plan interactions with the environment, and which can vary depending on environmental circumst ...

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

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon

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 ...

Peripersonal space as the space of the bodily self

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Christian Pfeiffer

Bodily self-consciousness (BSC) refers to experience of one's self as located within an owned body (self-identification) and as occupying a specific location in space (self-location). BSC can be altered through multisensory stimulation, as in the Full Body ...

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

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Fosco Bernasconi, Nathan Quentin Faivre, 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 ...

Virtual Reality as a Vehicle to Empower Motor-Cognitive Neurorehabilitation

Andrea Serino

In this paper, we advocate the combination of four key ingredients that we believe are necessary to design long-lasting effective treatments for neurorehabilitation: (i) motor-cognitive training, (ii) evidence-based neuroscience principles, in particular t ...

Bodily ownership and self-location: Components of bodily self-consciousness

Andrea Serino

Recent research on bodily self-consciousness has assumed that it consists of three distinct components: the experience of owning a body (body ownership); the experience of being a body with a given location within the environment (self-location); and the e ...

The wheelchair as a full-body tool extending the peripersonal space

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

Dedicated multisensory mechanisms in the brain represent peripersonal space (PPS), a limited portion of space immediately surrounding the body. Previous studies have illustrated the malleability of PPS representation through hand-object interaction, showin ...

I Feel What You Feel if I Like You: The Effect of Attractiveness on Visual Remapping of Touch

Andrea Serino

Observing touch being applied to another human's face enhances tactile perception for touch being applied to one's own face. This effect, termed the Visual Remapping of Touch (VRT), is maximal the greater the physical or conceptual similarity between obser ...

Subjective feeling of re‐experiencing past events using immersive virtual reality prevents a loss of episodic memory

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Bruno Herbelin, Robin Mange, Lucie Bréchet

Introduction: Personally meaningful past episodes, defined as episodic memories (EM), are subjectively re-experienced from the natural perspective and location of one's own body, as described by bodily self-consciousness (BSC). Neurobiological mechanisms o ...

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

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

Enhanced audio-tactile multisensory interaction in a peripersonal task after echolocation

Andrea Serino

Peripersonal space (PPS) is created by a multisensory interaction between different sensory modalities and can be modified by experience. In this article, we investigated whether an auditory training, inside the peripersonal space area, can modify the PPS ...

Relation between palm and finger cortical representations in primary somatosensory cortex: A 7T fMRI study

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Roberto Martuzzi, Michel Akselrod

Many studies focused on the cortical representations of fingers, while the palm is relatively neglected despite its importance for hand function. Here, we investigated palm representation (PR) and its relationship with finger representations (FRs) in prima ...

Moving sounds within the peripersonal space modulate the motor system

Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Elisa Canzoneri

Interactions between ourselves and the external world are mediated by a multisensory representation of the space surrounding the body, i.e. the peripersonal space (PPS). In particular, a special interplay is observed among tactile stimuli delivered on a bo ...

Full body action remapping of peripersonal space: The case of walking

Olaf Blanke, Hervé Lissek, Andrea Serino, Patrick Marmaroli, Petr Grivaz

The space immediately surrounding the body, i.e. peripersonal space (PPS), is represented by populations of multisensory neurons, from a network of premotor and parietal areas, which integrate tactile stimuli from the body’s surface with visual or auditory ...

The two dimensions of the body representation in women suffering from Anorexia Nervosa

Andrea Serino

A core symptom of Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a severe alteration of body representations. Evidence from somatoperception studies point to a generic disturbances of somatosensory components of body representations. Here we have investigated whether AN patient ...

Distinct contributions of extrastriate body area and temporoparietal junction in perceiving one's own and others' body

Andrea Serino

The right temporoparietal cortex plays a critical role in body representation. Here, we applied repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over right extrastriate body area (EBA) and temporoparietal junction (TPJ) to investigate their causative ro ...

Neurological and Robot-Controlled Induction of an Apparition

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Giulio Rognini, Roy Salomon, Lukas Heydrich, Polona Pozeg

Tales of ghosts, wraiths, and other apparitions have been reported in virtually all cultures. The strange sensation that somebody is nearby when no one is actually present and cannot be seen (feeling of a presence, FOP) is a fascinating feat of the human m ...

Multisensory simultaneity judgment and proximity to the body

Andrea Serino

The integration of information across different sensory modalities is known to be dependent upon the statistical characteristics of the stimuli to be combined. For example, the spatial and temporal proximity of stimuli are important determinants with stimu ...
