Bodily self-consciousness as a framework to link sensory information and self-related components of episodic memory: behavioral, neuroimaging, and clinical evidence

The recollection of sensory information and subjective experience related to a personal past event depends on our episodic memory (EM). At the neural level, EM retrieval is linked with the reinstatement of hippocampal activity thought to recollect the sens ...

Breathing affect self-other voice discrimination in a bodily state with increased otherness

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, Hyeongdong Park, Pavo Orepic

A growing number of studies have focused on identifying cognitive processes that are modulated by interoceptive signals. Here we investigated whether interoception affects self-processing, by assessing changes in self-voice perception as a function of resp ...

Underlying mechanisms of episodic autobiographical memory and self-consciousness

Lucie Bréchet

Cognitive neuroscience has been examining consciousness associated with the subject, that is the self of the conscious experience and its related multisensory processing of bodily signals, the so-called bodily self-consciousness. Different line of research ...

Common Recruitment of Angular Gyrus in Episodic Autobiographical Memory and Bodily Self-Consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Baptiste Gauthier, Lucie Bréchet, Petr Grivaz

Parietal cortex and adjacent parts of the temporal cortex have recently been associated with bodily self-consciousness (BSC). Similarly, growing evidence suggests that the lateral parietal cortex is crucial for the subjective aspects of episodic autobiogra ...

The Architectonic Experience of Body and Space in Augmented Interiors

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Isabella Maria Pasqualini, Maria Laura Blefari

The environment shapes our experience of space in constant interaction with the body. Architectonic interiors amplify the perception of space through the bodily senses; an effect also known as embodiment. The interaction of the bodily senses with the space ...

Multisensory interactions in peripersonal space and their contributions to bodily self-consciousness

Petr Grivaz

What is the relevance of the body and body-transformed sensory information for subjective experience? In the last two decades, paradigms from cognitive neuroscience have demonstrated that the subjective sensations of possessing a body (body ownership, BO), ...

Common and distinct brain regions processing multisensory bodily signals for peripersonal space and body ownership

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Petr Grivaz

We take the feeling that our body belongs to us for granted. However, recent research has shown that it is possible to alter the subjective sensation of body ownership (BO) by manipulating multisensory bodily inputs. Several frontal and parietal regions ar ...

The Subjective Sensation of Synchrony: An Experimental Study

Pierre Magistretti, Delphine Preissmann, Joan Llobera Mahy

People performing actions together have a natural tendency to synchronize their behavior. Consistently, people doing a task together build internal representations not only of their actions and goals, but also of the other people performing the task. Howev ...

A novel manipulation method of human body ownership using an fMRI-compatible master-slave system

Olaf Blanke, Tobias Kober, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Roy Salomon, Giulio Rognini, Masayuki Hara

Bodily self-consciousness has become an important topic in cognitive neuroscience aiming to understand how the brain creates a unified sensation of the self in a body. Specifically, full body illusion (FBI) in which changes in bodily self-consciousness are ...

Noise in brain activity engenders perception and influences discrimination sensitivity

Fosco Bernasconi, Athina Tzovara

Behavioral and brain responses to identical stimuli can vary with experimental and task parameters, including the context of stimulus presentation or attention. More surprisingly, computational models suggest that noise-related random fluctuations in brain ...
