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 ...

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

Olaf Blanke, Jean-Paul Noel, 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 ...

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 ...

Dissociating effect of upper limb non-use and overuse on space and body representations

Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri, Michela Bassolino

Accurate and updated representations of the space where the body acts, i.e. the peripersonal space (PPS), and the location and dimension of body parts (body representation, BR) are essential to perform actions. Because both PPS and BR are involved in motor ...

Distinct contributions of Brodmann areas 1 and 2 to body ownership

Roberto Martuzzi, Rolf Gruetter, Olaf Blanke, Sebastian Dieguez Falcon, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Andrea Serino

Although body ownership – i.e. the feeling that our bodies belong to us – modulates activity within the primary somatosensory cortex (S1), it is still unknown whether this modulation occurs within a somatotopically defined portion of S1. We induced an illu ...

Body part-centered and full body-centered peripersonal space representations

Hervé Lissek, Olaf Blanke, Patrick Marmaroli, Jean-Paul Noel, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

Dedicated neural systems represent the space surrounding the body, termed Peripersonal space (PPS), by integrating visual or auditory stimuli occurring near the body with somatosensory information. As a behavioral proxy to PPS, we measured participants' re ...

Behavioral, Neural, and Computational Principles of Bodily Self-Consciousness

Mel Slater, Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino

Recent work in human cognitive neuroscience has linked self-consciousness to the processing of multisensory bodily signals (bodily self-consciousness [BSC]) in fronto-parietal cortex and more posterior temporo-parietal regions. We highlight the behavioral, ...

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

Jean-Paul Noel, 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 ...

Neurological and Robot-Controlled Induction of an Apparition

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

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 ...

The vestibular system: a spatial reference for bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Christian Pfeiffer, Andrea Serino

Self-consciousness is the remarkable human experience of being a subject: the “I”. Self- consciousness is typically bound to a body, and particularly to the spatial dimensions of the body, as well as to its location and displacement in the gravitational fi ...

Embodying an outgroup: the role of racial bias and the effect of multisensory processing in somatosensory remapping

Andrea Serino

We come to understand other people's physical and mental states by re-mapping their bodily states onto our sensorimotor system. This process, also called somatosensory resonance, is an essential ability for social cognition and is stronger when observing i ...

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

Christophe Lopez, 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 ...
