Bodily self-consciousness and its disorders, The Parietal Lobe

Olaf Blanke, Hyeongdong Park, Roberta Ronchi

Research in clinical and human neuroscience indicates that important brain mechanisms of self-consciousness are based on the integration of multisensory bodily signals (i.e., bodily self-consciousness: BSC), including signals coming from outside our body ( ...

The Architectonic Experience of Body and Space in Augmented Interiors

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Isabella Maria Pasqualini, Maria Laura Blefari

The environment shapes our experience of space in constant interaction with the body. Architectonic interiors amplify the perception of space through the bodily senses; an effect also known as embodiment. The interaction of the bodily senses with the space ...

Modulation of vection latencies in the full-body illusion

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, 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 ...

Common Recruitment of Angular Gyrus in Episodic Autobiographical Memory and Bodily Self-Consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Baptiste Gauthier, Petr Grivaz, Lucie Bréchet

Parietal cortex and adjacent parts of the temporal cortex have recently been associated with bodily self-consciousness (BSC). Similarly, growing evidence suggests that the lateral parietal cortex is crucial for the subjective aspects of episodic autobiogra ...

From multisensory integration in peripersonal space to bodily self-consciousness: from statistical regularities to statistical inference

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino

Integrating information across sensory systems is a critical step toward building a cohesive representation of the environment and one's body, and as illustrated by numerous illusions, scaffolds subjective experience of the world and self. In the last year ...

Interferences between breathing, experimental dyspnoea and bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Javier Bello Ruiz, Elisa Canzoneri

Dyspnoea, a subjective experience of breathing discomfort, is a most distressing symptom. It implicates complex cortical networks that partially overlap with those underlying bodily self-consciousness, the experience that the body is one's own within a giv ...

Embodiment Sensitivity to Movement Distortion and Perspective Taking in Virtual Reality

Henrique Galvan Debarba

Despite recent technological improvements of immersive technologies, Virtual Reality suffers from severe intrinsic limitations, in particular the immateriality of the visible 3D environment. Typically, any simulation and manipulation in a cluttered environ ...

Self-grounded vision: hand ownership modulates visual location through cortical beta and gamma oscillations

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon, Fosco Bernasconi, Javier Bello Ruiz, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho

Vision is known to be shaped by context, defined by environmental and bodily signals. In the Taylor illusion, the size of an afterimage projected on one's hand changes according to proprioceptive signals conveying hand position. Here, we assessed whether t ...

Consciousness is more than meets the eye: a call for a multisensory study of subjective experience

Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon

Over the last 30 years, our understanding of the neurocognitive bases of consciousness has improved, mostly through studies employing vision. While studying consciousness in the visual modality presents clear advantages, we believe that a comprehensive sci ...

Multisensory interactions in peripersonal space and their contributions to bodily self-consciousness

Petr Grivaz

What is the relevance of the body and body-transformed sensory information for subjective experience? In the last two decades, paradigms from cognitive neuroscience have demonstrated that the subjective sensations of possessing a body (body ownership, BO), ...
