An immersive virtual reality tool for assessing left and right unilateral spatial neglect

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Roberta Ronchi

The reported rate of the occurrence of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is highly variable likely due to the lack of validity and low sensitivity of classical tools used to assess it. Virtual reality (VR) assessments try to overcome these limitations by pr ...

Mapping and characterization of positive and negative BOLD responses to visual stimulation in multiple brain regions at 7T

Rolf Gruetter, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Patricia Figueiredo, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge

External stimuli and tasks often elicit negative BOLD responses in various brain regions, and growing experimental evidence supports that these phenomena are functionally meaningful. In this work, the high sensitivity available at 7T was explored to map an ...

Behavioral and cortical effects during attention driven brain-computer interface operations in spatial neglect: A feasibility case study

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Luca Tonin, Huaijian Zhang

During the last years, several studies have suggested that Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) can play a critical role in the field of motor rehabilitation. In this case report, we aim to investigate the feasibility of a covert visuospatial attention (CVSA) dr ...

Multiscale body maps in the human brain

Michel Akselrod

A large number of brain regions are dedicated to processing information from the body in order to enable interactions with the environment. During my thesis, I studied the functional organization of brain networks involved in processing bodily information. ...

Left neglect dyslexia: Perseveration and reading error types

Roberta Ronchi

Right-brain-damaged patients may show a reading disorder termed neglect dyslexia. Patients with left neglect dyslexia omit letters on the left-hand-side (the beginning, when reading left-to-right) part of the letter string, substitute them with other lette ...

Vestibular contribution to bodily self-consciousness and multisensory cortical processing

Christian Pfeiffer

How does the self relate to the body? Bodily self-consciousness, i.e. the sense of being a subject bound to a body, involves a first-person perspective (1PP), i.e. the sense of being directed at the world. Prior research suggests that bodily self-conscious ...

Visuo-vestibular mechanisms of bodily self-consciousness

Joachim Jean-Marie Forget

Bodily self-consciousness is linked to multisensory integration and is particularly dependent on vestibular perception providing the brain with the main sensory cues about body motion and location in space. Vestibular and visual inputs are permanently bala ...

(Un)awareness of unilateral spatial neglect: A quantitative evaluation of performance in visuo-spatial tasks

Roberta Ronchi

Right-brain-damaged patients with unilateral spatial neglect are usually unaware (anosognosic) about their spatial deficits. However, in the scientific literature there is a lack of systematic and quantitative evaluation of this kind of unawareness, despit ...

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 ...

Hyperschematia after right brain damage: a meaningful entity?

Roberta Ronchi

In recent years we reported three right-brain-damaged patients, who exhibited a left-sided disprortionate expansion of drawings, both by copying and from memory, contralateral to the side of the hemispheric lesion (Neurology, 67: 1801, 2006, Neurocase 14: ...

Postlesional plasticity in central auditory processing : MRI and FMRI image registration and statistical signal processing

Dragana Viceic

The most general and striking evidence related with brain injury is that of the restoration of function. Recovery of motor and somatosensory functions has shown to commonly occur after stroke, but not all individuals show improvement. Clinical studies have ...

Neural mechanisms of embodiment: asomatognosia due to premotor cortex damage

Olaf Blanke

BACKGROUND: Patients with asomatognosia generally describe parts of their body as missing or disappeared from corporeal awareness. This disturbance is generally attributed to damage in the right posterior parietal cortex. However, recent neuroimaging and e ...

Neural basis of embodiment: distinct contributions of temporoparietal junction and extrastriate body area

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr

Embodiment, the sense of being localized within one's physical body, is a fundamental aspect of the self. Recently, researchers have started to show that self and body processing require distinct brain mechanisms, suggesting two posterior brain regions as ...
