Suppression of the auditory N1-component for heartbeat-related sounds reflects interoceptive predictive coding

Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich, Michiel van Elk, Bigna Lenggenhager

Although many studies have elucidated the neurocognitive mechanisms supporting the processing of externally generated sensory signals, less is known about the processing of interoceptive signals related to the viscera. Drawing a parallel with research on a ...

Vestibular-Somatosensory Interactions: Effects of Passive Whole-Body Rotation on Somatosensory Detection

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Mariia Kaliuzhna

Vestibular signals are strongly integrated with information from several other sensory modalities. For example, vestibular stimulation was reported to improve tactile detection. However, this improvement could reflect either a multimodal interaction or an ...

Breathing and sense of self: Visuo-respiratory conflicts alter body self-consciousness (Reprint from Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, vol 203, pg 68-74)

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin

Bodily self-consciousness depends on the processing of interoceptive and exteroceptive signals. It can be disrupted by inducing signal conflicts. Breathing, at the crossroad between interoception and exteroception, should contribute to bodily self-consciou ...

The Brain Network reflecting Bodily Self-Consciousness: a functional connectivity study

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Roberto Martuzzi, Silvio Ionta

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 ...

Distinct illusory own-body perceptions caused by damage to posterior insula and extrastriate cortex

Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich

Recent research in cognitive neuroscience using virtual reality, robotic technology and brain imaging has linked self-consciousness to the processing and integration of multisensory bodily signals. This work on bodily self-consciousness has implicated the ...

Turning Body and Self Inside Out. Visualized Heartbeats Alter Bodily Self-Consciousness and Tactile Perception

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 bodily perception is based on interoceptive or exteroceptive signals or on integrated signals from these anatomically distinct sy ...

Social modulation of peripersonal space boundaries

Andrea Serino

The space around the body, i.e., peripersonal space (PPS), is conceived as a multisensory-motor interface between body and environment. PPS is represented by frontoparietal neurons integrating tactile, visual, and auditory stimuli occurring near the body [ ...

Self-motion perception training: thresholds improve in the light but not in the dark

Michael Herzog, Fred Mast

We investigated perceptual learning in self-motion perception. Blindfolded participants were displaced leftward or rightward by means of a motion platform and asked to indicate the direction of motion. A total of eleven participants underwent 3,360 practic ...

Posing for awareness: Proprioception modulates access to visual consciousness in a continuous flash suppression task

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Roy Salomon, Mei Ling Melanie Lim

The rules governing the selection of which sensory information reaches consciousness are yet unknown. Of our senses, vision is often considered to be the dominant sense, and the effects of bodily senses, such as proprioception, on visual consciousness are ...
