Differential influence of hands posture on mental rotation of hands and feet in left and right handers

The representation of the body in the brain is continuously updated with regard to peripheral factors such as position or movement of body parts. In the present study, we investigated the effects of arm posture on the mental rotation of hands and feet. Six ...

Human perceptual learning by mental imagery

Michael Herzog, Fred Mast, Elisa Tartaglia, Laura Bamert

Perceptual learning is learning to perceive. For example, a radiologist is able to easily identify anomalies in medical images only after extended training. Theoretical and psychophysical studies [1-12] suggest that such improvements of performance are acc ...

The mental time line: an analogue of the mental number line in the mapping of life events

Olaf Blanke

A crucial aspect of the human mind is the ability to project the self along the time line to past and future. It has been argued that such self-projection is essential to re-experience past experiences and predict future events. In-depth analysis of a nove ...

Perceptual learning by mental imagery

Michael Herzog, Fred Mast, Elisa Tartaglia, Laura Bamert

In perceptual learning, performance improves when stimuli are presented over and over again. In a bisection task, for example, two vertical outer lines delineate an interval which is bisected by a centre line. Observers indicate whether this centre line is ...

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 ...

Influence of galvanic vestibular stimulation on egocentric and object-based mental transformations

Olaf Blanke, Christophe Lopez, Bigna Lenggenhager

The vestibular system analyses angular and linear accelerations of the head that are important information for perceiving the location of one's own body in space. Vestibular stimulation and in particular galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) that allow a s ...

Simultaneous Real-Time Detection of Motor Imagery and Error-Related Potentials for Improved BCI Accuracy

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), as any other interaction modality based on physiological signals and body channels (e.g., muscular activity, speech and gestures), are prone to errors in the recognition of subject's intent. An elegant approach to improve ...

The influence of hands posture on mental rotation of hands and feet

Silvio Ionta

Behavioural and functional neuroanatomy studies demonstrate that mental rotation of body parts is carried out through a sort of inner motor simulation. Here we examined whether changes of hands posture influence the mental rotation of hands and feet. Twent ...
