Transient Modulations of Neural Responses to Heartbeats Covary with Bodily Self-Consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Roy Salomon, Hyeongdong Park, Christian Pfeiffer, Javier Bello Ruiz

Recent research has investigated self-consciousness associated with the multisensory processing of bodily signals (e.g., somatosensory, visual, vestibular signals), a notion referred to as bodily self-consciousness, and these studies have shown that the ma ...

Low-level awareness accompanies “unconscious” high-level processing during continuous flash suppression

Nathan Quentin Faivre

The scope and limits of unconscious processing are a matter of ongoing debate. Lately, continuous flash suppression (CFS), a technique for suppressing visual stimuli, has been widely used to demonstrate surprisingly high-level processing of invisible stimu ...

Behavioral, Neural, and Computational Principles of Bodily Self-Consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Mel Slater

Recent work in human cognitive neuroscience has linked self-consciousness to the processing of multisensory bodily signals (bodily self-consciousness [BSC]) in fronto-parietal cortex and more posterior temporo-parietal regions. We highlight the behavioral, ...

Visual consciousness and bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon

Purpose of review: In recent years, consciousness has become a central topic in cognitive neuroscience. This review focuses on the relation between bodily self-consciousness - the feeling of being a subject in a body - and visual consciousness - the subjec ...

The vestibular system: a spatial reference for bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Christian Pfeiffer

Self-consciousness is the remarkable human experience of being a subject: the “I”. Self- consciousness is typically bound to a body, and particularly to the spatial dimensions of the body, as well as to its location and displacement in the gravitational fi ...

Disrupting the ipsilateral motor cortex interferes with training of a complex motor task in older adults

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Performance of unimanual movements is associated with bihemispheric activity in the motor cortex in old adults. However, the causal functional role of the ipsilateral MC (iMC) for motor control is still not completely known. Here, the behavioral consequenc ...

Visuospatial viewpoint manipulation during full-body illusion modulates subjective first-person perspective

Olaf Blanke, Christian Pfeiffer, Valentin Marc Schmutz

Self-consciousness is based on multisensory signals from the body. In full-body illusion (FBI) experiments, multisensory conflict was used to induce changes in three key aspects of bodily self-consciousness (BSC): self-identification (which body 'I' identi ...

The effect of arm weight support on upper limb muscle synergies during reaching movements

Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia

Background: Compensating for the effect of gravity by providing arm-weight support (WS) is a technique often utilized in the rehabilitation of patients with neurological conditions such as stroke to facilitate the performance of arm movements during therap ...

A NEW APPROACH FOR CEREBELLO-THALAMIC MOTOR NETWORK EVALUATION IN ASYMPTOMATIC PREMUTATION CARRIERS AT RISK FOR FXTAS

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Elena Najdenovska, Naghmeh Ghazaleh

Fragile-X tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a late onset movement disorder affecting FMR1 premutation carriers. In our recent work (Battistella et al., 2013, ) we demonstrated a unique pattern of preclinical changes in young asymptomatic carriers involving ...
