Perception and Action: Anatomic Conventions, Homunculus, Body Scheme

This lecture covers the anatomic conventions and lateralization in the brain, the perception of biological motion, the homunculus mapping in the somatosensory cortex, the body scheme integrating somatotopic maps, and the pathology of phantom limb pain. It also discusses the adaptive extra-personal space, mirror-box therapy, and the continuous updating of the body scheme during actions and mental visualizations.
