"Seeing" and "feeling" architecture: how bodily self-consciousness alters architectonic experience and affects the perception of interiors

Olaf Blanke, Isabella Maria Pasqualini, Joan Llobera Mahy

Over the centuries architectural theory evolved several notions of embodiment, proposing in the nineteenth and twentieth century that architectonic experience is related to physiological responses of the observer. Recent advances in the cognitive neuroscie ...

MISP is a novel Plk1 substrate required for proper spindle orientation and mitotic progression

Pierre Gönczy, Sachin Kotak

Precise positioning of the mitotic spindle determines the correct cell division axis and is crucial for organism development. Spindle positioning is mediated through a cortical machinery by capturing astral microtubules, thereby generating pushing/pulling ...

Social modulation of peripersonal space boundaries

Andrea Serino

The space around the body, i.e., peripersonal space (PPS), is conceived as a multisensory-motor interface between body and environment. PPS is represented by frontoparietal neurons integrating tactile, visual, and auditory stimuli occurring near the body [ ...

Experimental changes in bodily self-consciousness are tuned to the frequency sensitivity of proprioceptive fibres

Olaf Blanke, Jane Aspell, Estelle Palluel

Several lines of evidence suggest an important implication of proprioceptive signals in bodily self-consciousness. By manipulating proprioceptive signals using muscle vibration, here, we investigated whether such effects depend on the vibration frequency b ...

Proprioceptive Coupling within Motor Neurons Drives C. elegans Forward Locomotion

Matthieu Wyart, Xinyu Liu

Locomotion requires coordinated motor activity throughout an animal@s body. In both vertebrates and invertebrates, chains of coupled central pattern generators (CPGs) are commonly evoked to explain local rhythmic behaviors. In C. elegans, we report that pr ...

Body Context and Posture Affect Mental Imagery of Hands

Olaf Blanke, Bogdan Draganski, Silvio Ionta

Different visual stimuli have been shown to recruit different mental imagery strategies. However the role of specific visual stimuli properties related to body context and posture in mental imagery is still under debate. Aiming to dissociate the behavioura ...

Turning Body and Self Inside Out

Lukas Heydrich

What is the self? This major philosophical question has been considered too complex to be studied in neuroscience. However, during the last 20 years, researchers from different disciplines within the cognitive neurosciences have started investigating the n ...

Somatosensory control of balance during locomotion in decerebrated cat

Grégoire Courtine, Pavel Musienko

Postmammillary decerebrated cats can generate stepping on a moving treadmill belt when the brain stem or spinal cord is stimulated tonically and the hindquarters are supported both vertically and laterally. While adequate propulsion seems to be generated b ...

Measurement of Multi-segment Foot Joint Angles During Gait Using a Wearable System

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Xavier Crevoisier, Hossein Rouhani

Usually the measurement of multi-segment foot and ankle complex kinematics is done with stationary motion capture devices which are limited to use in a gait laboratory. This study aimed to propose and validate a wearable system to measure the foot and ankl ...

Combined Analysis of Cortical (EEG) and Nerve Stump Signals Improves Robotic Hand Control

Silvestro Micera, Jacopo Rigosa

Background. Interfacing an amputee's upper-extremity stump nerves to control a robotic hand requires training of the individual and algorithms to process interactions between cortical and peripheral signals. Objective. To evaluate for the first time whethe ...
