Illusory own body perceptions: case reports and relevance for bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich, Sebastian Dieguez Falcon

Neurological disorders of body representation have for a long time suggested the importance of multisensory processing of bodily signals for self-consciousness. One such group of disorders--illusory own body perceptions affecting the entire body--has been ...

Fully automated modulation of virtual-body ownership supresses fronto-parietal mu rhythm

Olaf Blanke, Nathaniel Evans

After continuously applying spatially and temporally congruent visuo-tactile stimulation to external, body-like objects, healthy humans feel the fake part to be the origin of the touch sensations and feel it to be their own. Incongruent stimulation nullifi ...

Visual capture and the experience of having two bodies

Olaf Blanke, Jane Aspell, Lukas Heydrich

The experience of singularity of the conscious self may break down in heautoscopy. In heautoscopy patients see a double or doppelganger of themselves. Moreover, the self may be experienced as reduplicated—existing at two or even more locations simultaneous ...

Spatial aspects of bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Bigna Lenggenhager, Michaël Mouthon

Visual, somatosensory, and perspectival cues normally provide congruent information about where the self is experienced. Separating those cues by virtual reality techniques, recent studies found that self-location was systematically biased to where a visua ...

Multisensory mechanisms underlying bodily self-consciousness

Bigna Lenggenhager

Recent philosophical and neuroscientific theories converge on the assumption that the basic foundations of self-consciousness lie in those brain systems that represent the body. Neurological cases in which this basic bodily self-consciousness is disturbed ...

Manipulation of the participants' self-localization in a lying position

Michaël Mouthon

Healthy human beings are aware of their current position space and are able to distinguish their own body from that of other persons or objects. This capability arises from a coupling of sensory information with cognitive processes, and leads to a represen ...

The vestibular component in out-of-body experiences: a computational approach

Olaf Blanke

Neurological evidence suggests that disturbed vestibular processing may play a key role in triggering out-of-body experiences (OBEs). Little is known about the brain mechanisms during such pathological conditions, despite recent experimental evidence that ...

A Distance Model for Rhythms

Samy Bengio, Jean-François Paiement

Modeling long-term dependencies in time series has proved very difficult to achieve with traditional machine learning methods. This problem occurs when considering music data. In this paper, we introduce a model for rhythms based on the distributions of di ...

Video ergo sum: manipulating bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Bigna Lenggenhager

Humans normally experience the conscious self as localized within their bodily borders. This spatial unity may break down in certain neurological conditions such as out-of-body experiences, leading to a striking disturbance of bodily self-consciousness. On ...
