Common factors are ubiquitous. For example, there is a common factor, g, for intelligence. In vision, there is much weaker evidence for such common factors. For example, visual illusion magnitudes correlate only weakly with each other. Here, we investigate ...

Insula mediates heartbeat related effects on visual consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Jonathan Dönz, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon, Roberta Ronchi, Javier Bello Ruiz

Interoceptive signals, such as the heartbeat, are processed in a network of brain regions including the insular cortex. Recent studies have shown that such signals modulate perceptual and cognitive processing, and that they impact visual awareness. For exa ...

Multiscale body maps in the human brain

Michel Akselrod

A large number of brain regions are dedicated to processing information from the body in order to enable interactions with the environment. During my thesis, I studied the functional organization of brain networks involved in processing bodily information. ...

Haptic feedback has been used to faithfully restitute the haptic sense lacking during telemanipulation, but also for providing auxiliary information via the haptic channel to restore functional perception of missing or damaged senses, e.g. sensory substitu ...

Multisensory effects on somatosensation: a trimodal visuo-vestibular-tactile interaction

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Mariia Kaliuzhna

Vestibular information about self-motion is combined with other sensory signals. Previous research described both visuo-vestibular and vestibular-tactile bilateral interactions, but the simultaneous interaction between all three sensory modalities has not ...

Recent evidence suggests that multisensory integration of bodily signals involving exteroceptive or interoceptive information modulates bodily aspects of self-consciousness such as self-identification and self-location. In the so-called full body illusion ...

The two dimensions of the body representation in women suffering from Anorexia Nervosa

Andrea Serino

A core symptom of Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a severe alteration of body representations. Evidence from somatoperception studies point to a generic disturbances of somatosensory components of body representations. Here we have investigated whether AN patient ...

Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are illusory perceptions of one's body from an elevated disembodied perspective. Recent theories postulate a double disintegration process in the personal (visual, proprioceptive and tactile disintegration) and extrapersonal ...

Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping of stroke lesions underlying somatosensory deficits

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between stroke lesion location and the resulting somatosensory deficit. We studied exteroceptive and proprioceptive somatosensory symptoms and stroke lesions in 38 patients with first-ever acute str ...

Bodily self-consciousness is linked to multisensory integration and is particularly dependent on vestibular perception providing the brain with the main sensory cues about body motion and location in space. Vestibular and visual inputs are permanently bala ...
