Coupling Inner and Outer Body for Self-Consciousness

Although recent studies on self-consciousness emphasized the importance of bodily processing and multisensory integration, such research has focused solely on bodily signals originating from the outside of the body (i.e., exteroceptive bodily signals) or i ...

Underlying mechanisms of episodic autobiographical memory and self-consciousness

Lucie Bréchet

Cognitive neuroscience has been examining consciousness associated with the subject, that is the self of the conscious experience and its related multisensory processing of bodily signals, the so-called bodily self-consciousness. Different line of research ...

Resource-Aware Distributed Epilepsy Monitoring Using Self-Awareness From Edge to Cloud

David Atienza Alonso, Amir Aminifar, Farnaz Forooghifar

The integration of wearable devices in humans' daily lives has grown significantly in recent years and still continues to affect different aspects of high-quality life. Thus, ensuring the reliability of the decisions becomes essential in biomedical applica ...

Heartbeat-evoked cortical responses: Underlying mechanisms, functional roles, and methodological considerations

Olaf Blanke, Hyeongdong Park

The heart continuously and cyclically communicates with the brain. Beyond homeostatic regulation and sensing, recent neuroscience research has started to shed light on brain-heart interactions in diverse cognitive and emotional processes. In particular, ne ...

A Self-Aware Epilepsy Monitoring System for Real-Time Epileptic Seizure Detection

David Atienza Alonso, Amir Aminifar, Leila Cammoun, Farnaz Forooghifar

Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent paroxystic neurological disorders that can dramatically degrade the quality of life and may even lead to death. Therefore, real-time epilepsy monitoring and seizure detection has become important over the past decades. ...

Bodily self-consciousness and its disorders, The Parietal Lobe

Olaf Blanke, Roberta Ronchi, Hyeongdong Park

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 ( ...

Research on self-sensing ability concerning a dielectric electroactive polymer

Electroactive Polymers (EAPs) are systems formed of three layers, one layer of stretchable dielectric polymer contained between two layers of soft electrodes. The operating principle of such polymers is that they deform them-self when they are placed into ...

Cardio-visual full body illusion alters bodily self-consciousness and tactile processing in somatosensory cortex

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Jane Aspell, Lukas Heydrich

Prominent theories highlight the importance of bodily perception for self-consciousness, but it is currently not known whether this is based on interoceptive or exteroceptive signals or on integrated signals from these anatomically distinct systems, nor wh ...

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 ...

Bilateral Rolandic operculum processing underlying heartbeat awareness reflects changes in bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Roy Salomon, Roberto Martuzzi, Javier Bello Ruiz, Maria Laura Blefari

Exteroceptive bodily signals (including tactile, proprioceptive and visual signals) are important information contributing to self-consciousness. Moreover, prominent theories proposed that visceral signals about internal bodily states are equally or even m ...
