Spatial aspects of bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Bigna Lenggenhager, Michaël Mouthon

Visual, somatosensory, and perspectival cues normally provide congruent information about where the self is experienced. Separating those cues by virtual reality techniques, recent studies found that self-location was systematically biased to where a visua ...

How the mind constitutes itself through perceptual learning

Michael Herzog

Most theories of perception assume a rigid relationship between objects of the physical world and the corresponding mental representations. We show by a priori reasoning that this assumption is not fulfilled. We claim instead that all object-representation ...

Deficient mental own-body imagery in a neurological patient with out-of-body experiences due to cannabis use

Olaf Blanke

In the present work, we report repeated out-of-body experiences (OBEs) in a patient with tetraplegia and severe somatosensory loss due to multiple sclerosis and predominant involvement of the cervical spinal cord. OBEs were experienced on a daily basis and ...

Asynchronous Non-Invasive Brain-Actuated Control of an Intelligent Wheelchair

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Eileen Lew Yi Lee

In this paper we present further results of our asynchronous and non-invasive BMI for the continuous control of an intelligent wheelchair. Three subjects participated in two experiments where they steered the wheelchair spontaneously, without any external ...

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 ...

The vestibular component in out-of-body experiences: a computational approach

Olaf Blanke

Neurological evidence suggests that disturbed vestibular processing may play a key role in triggering out-of-body experiences (OBEs). Little is known about the brain mechanisms during such pathological conditions, despite recent experimental evidence that ...

Body ownership and embodiment: vestibular and multisensory mechanisms

Olaf Blanke, Christophe Lopez, Pär Halje

Body ownership and embodiment are two fundamental mechanisms of self-consciousness. The present article reviews neurological data about paroxysmal illusions during which body ownership and embodiment are affected differentially: autoscopic phenomena (out-o ...

Out-of-body experiences: false climbs in a supine position?

Olaf Blanke

Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are illusions, where people experience themselves as being located outside their physical body and often flying or floating at an elevated location. Here, we propose that the flying and floating in OBEs can be explained as th ...

I and me: self-portraiture in brain damage

Olaf Blanke

Human bodily experience is characterized by the immediate feeling that our body is localized at a certain position in space and that the self is localized within these body borders (embodiment). Recent research from cognitive neuroscience and neurology sug ...

Video ergo sum: manipulating bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Bigna Lenggenhager

Humans normally experience the conscious self as localized within their bodily borders. This spatial unity may break down in certain neurological conditions such as out-of-body experiences, leading to a striking disturbance of bodily self-consciousness. On ...
