Sebastian Dieguez Falcon

How do we know that our body and its parts belong to us? Observations from neurological syndromes and recent experiments in the cognitive neurosciences suggest that the sense of bodily ownership is a crucial component underlying self-consciousness in human ...

Design and Evaluation of a Novel Haptic Interface for Endoscopic Simulation

Hannes Bleuler, Evren Samur, Lionel Flaction

Inspection of the colon with an endoscope for early signs of cancer (colonoscopy) has become an extremely widespread procedure, since early treatment radically improves the outlook of patients. The procedure requires a close coordination between the sense ...

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 ...

Abnormal self-location and vestibular vertigo in a patient with right frontal lobe epilepsy

Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich, Christophe Lopez

We describe the case of a 33-year-old man with complex partial seizures characterized by the feeling of being projected outside his body, including dissociation of "mind and self from body" (disembodiment), followed by vestibular vertigo due to right front ...

How vestibular stimulation interacts with illusory hand ownership

Olaf Blanke, Christophe Lopez, Bigna Lenggenhager

Artificial stimulation of the peripheral vestibular system has been shown to improve ownership of body parts in neurological patients, suggesting vestibular contributions to bodily self-consciousness. Here, we investigated whether galvanic vestibular stimu ...
