Crossmodal Congruency Enhances Performance of Healthy Older Adults in Visual-Tactile Pattern Matching

One of the pivotal challenges of aging is to maintain independence in the activities of daily life. In order to adapt to changes in the environment, it is crucial to continuously process and accurately combine simultaneous input from different sensory syst ...

Congruency effects can compensate for deficits of healthy older adults in crossmodal integration

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

One of the pivotal challenges of aging is to maintain independence in the activities of daily life. In order to adapt to changes in the environment, it is crucial to continuously process and accurately combine simultaneous input from different sensory syst ...

Enhanced audio-tactile multisensory interaction in a peripersonal task after echolocation

Andrea Serino

Peripersonal space (PPS) is created by a multisensory interaction between different sensory modalities and can be modified by experience. In this article, we investigated whether an auditory training, inside the peripersonal space area, can modify the PPS ...

Congruent Visuo-Tactile Feedback Facilitates the Extension of Peripersonal Space

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Michiel van Elk, Ali Sengül

Effective tool use relies on the integration of multisensory signals related to one's body and the tool. It has been shown that active tool use results in an extension of peripersonal space, i. e., the space directly surrounding the human body. In the pres ...

Balancing awareness: Vestibular signals modulate visual consciousness in the absence of awareness

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Roy Salomon, Mariia Kaliuzhna

The processing of visual and vestibular information is crucial for perceiving self-motion. Visual cues, such as optic flow, have been shown to induce and alter vestibular percepts, yet the role of vestibular information in shaping visual awareness remains ...

The wheelchair as a full-body tool extending the peripersonal space

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel, Elisa Canzoneri

Dedicated multisensory mechanisms in the brain represent peripersonal space (PPS), a limited portion of space immediately surrounding the body. Previous studies have illustrated the malleability of PPS representation through hand-object interaction, showin ...

Extending peripersonal space representation without tool-use: evidence from a combined behavioral-computational approach

Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

Stimuli from different sensory modalities occurring on or close to the body are integrated in a multisensory representation of the space surrounding the body, i.e., peripersonal space (PPS). PPS dynamically modifies depending on experience, e.g., it extend ...

Those are Your Legs: The Effect of Visuo-Spatial Viewpoint on Visuo-Tactile Integration and Body Ownership

Olaf Blanke, Polona Pozeg

Experiencing a body part as one's own, i.e., body ownership, depends on the integration of multisensory bodily signals (including visual, tactile, and proprioceptive information) with the visual top down signals from peripersonal space. Although it has bee ...

A flexible multimodal tactile display for delivering shape and material information

Hannes Bleuler, Simon Gallo

The growing complexity of telemanipulation tasks calls for increased realism and intuitiveness of the interaction between the user and the master control. Humans perceive multiple haptic features of an object such as its stiffness, temperature, and shape, ...

Automatic Hand Phantom Map Detection Methods

Christian Enz, Claudio Bruschini, Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li, Jörn Justiz

Many amputees have maps of referred sensation from their missing hand on their residual limb (phantom maps). This skin area can serve as a target for providing amputees with tactile sensory feedback. Providing tactile feedback on the phantom map can improv ...
