Robotically-induced auditory-verbal hallucinations: combining self-monitoring and strong perceptual priors

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Melissa Faggella, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Pavo Orepic

Background. Inducing hallucinations under controlled experimental conditions in nonhallucinating individuals represents a novel research avenue oriented toward understanding complex hallucinatory phenomena, avoiding confounds observed in patients. Audito ...

Predictive brain: Addressing the level of representation by reviewing perceptual hysteresis

David Pascucci

In recent years, the idea that the prediction of sensory input is one of the major computational goals of the nervous system led to the development of several large-scale theories of brain functioning, such as different versions of the Bayesian approach to ...

How ageing shapes body and space representations: A comparison study between healthy young and older adults

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza, Giuliana Sorrentino, Charlène Zuber

To efficiently interact with the external world, the brain needs to represent the size of the involved body parts - body representations (BR) - and the space around the body in which the interactions with the environment take place - peripersonal space rep ...

Corticolumbar dynamics during recovery after spinal cord injury

Selin Anil

In humans, a severe spinal cord contusion interrupts the vast majority of supraspinal projections to the spinal cord below the lesion. Permanent paralysis results from the chronic failure of these spared projections to engage lumbar circuits producing leg ...

Optical sensory and motor mapping of mouse dorsal cortex

Matthieu Pierre Auffret

Throughout species, including mice and humans, we all have to make decisions to fulfill our fundamentals needs: eat, drink, explore, communicate, reproduce... To make those decisions, we have to collect informations from the surrounding world and to proces ...

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. ...

Does sensitivity in binary choice tasks depend on response modality?

Michael Herzog, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Izabela Szumska

In most models of vision, a stimulus is processed in a series of dedicated visual areas, leading to categorization of this stimulus, and possible decision, which subsequently may be mapped onto a motor-response. In these models, stimulus processing is thou ...

Quantifying the role of motor imagery in brain-machine interfaces

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Silvia Marchesotti

Despite technical advances in brain machine interfaces (BMI), for as-yet unknown reasons the ability to control a BMI remains limited to a subset of users. We investigate whether individual differences in BMI control based on motor imagery (MI) are related ...

Outcome Prediction of Consciousness Disorders in the Acute Stage Based on a Complementary Motor Behavioural Tool

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Bogdan Draganski, Richard Frackowiak, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji

Introduction Attaining an accurate diagnosis in the acute phase for severely brain-damaged patients presenting Disorders of Consciousness (DOC) is crucial for prognostic validity; such a diagnosis determines further medical management, in terms of therapeu ...

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 ...
