Perceptual learning of motion discrimination by mental imagery

Michael Herzog, Fred Mast, Elisa Tartaglia, Laura Bamert

Perceptual learning can occur when stimuli are only imagined, i.e., without proper stimulus presentation. For example, perceptual learning improved bisection discrimination when only the two outer lines of the bisection stimulus were presented and the cent ...

I feel who I see: visual body identity affects visual-tactile integration in peripersonal space

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Jane Aspell, Michiel van Elk

Recent studies have shown the importance of integrating multisensory information in the body representation for constituting self-consciousness. However, one idea that has received only scant attention is that our body representation is also constituted by ...

Leg muscle vibration modulates bodily self-consciousness: integration of proprioceptive, visual, and tactile signals

Olaf Blanke, Jane Aspell, Estelle Palluel

Behavioral studies have used visuo-tactile conflicts between a participant's body and a visually presented fake or virtual body to investigate the importance of bodily perception for self-consciousness (bodily self-consciousness). Illusory self-identificat ...

Mental imagery of self-location during spontaneous and active self-other interactions: an electrical neuroimaging study

Olaf Blanke, Manuel Mercier

Substantial data from the cognitive neurosciences point to the importance of bodily processing for the development of a comprehensive theory of the self. A key aspect of the bodily self is self-location, the experience that the self is localized at a speci ...

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 ...

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 ...
