Body and peripersonal space representations in chronic stroke patients with upper limb motor deficits

Olaf Blanke, Silvestro Micera, Andrea Crema, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri, Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza

The continuous stream of multisensory information between the brain and the body during body-environment interactions is crucial to maintain the updated representation of the perceived dimensions of body parts (metric body representation) and the space aro ...

Mechanisms of the breathing contribution to bodily self‐consciousness in healthy humans: Lessons from machine‐assisted breathing?

Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Javier Bello Ruiz, Elisa Canzoneri, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka

Previous studies investigated bodily self‐consciousness (BSC) by experimentally exposing subjects to multisensory conflicts (i.e., visuo‐tactile, audio‐tactile, visuo‐cardiac) in virtual reality (VR) that involve the participant's torso in a paradigm known ...

Peripersonal Space: An Index of Multisensory Body–Environment Interactions in Real, Virtual, and Mixed Realities

Robin Mange, Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Javier Bello Ruiz, Jean-Paul Noel, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri, Fosco Bernasconi, Elisa Pellencin

Human–environment interactions normally occur in the physical milieu and thus by medium of the body and within the space immediately adjacent to and surrounding the body, the peripersonal space (PPS). However, human interactions increasingly occur with or ...

Virtual Zero Gravity Impact on Internal Gravity Model

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Elisa Canzoneri

This project investigates the impact of a virtual zero gravity experience on the human gravity model. In the planned experiment, subjects are immersed with HMD and full body motion capture in a virtual world exhibiting either normal gravity or the apparent ...

Upper limb cortical maps in amputees with targeted muscle and sensory reinnervation

Roberto Martuzzi, Olaf Blanke, Michel Akselrod, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Giulio Rognini, Roy Salomon, Maria Laura Blefari, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

Neuroprosthetics research in amputee patients aims at developing new prostheses that move and feel like real limbs. Targeted muscle and sensory reinnervation (TMSR) is such an approach and consists of rerouting motor and sensory nerves from the residual li ...

Interferences between breathing, experimental dyspnoea and bodily self-consciousness

Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Javier Bello Ruiz, Elisa Canzoneri, Etienne Allard

Dyspnoea, a subjective experience of breathing discomfort, is a most distressing symptom. It implicates complex cortical networks that partially overlap with those underlying bodily self-consciousness, the experience that the body is one's own within a giv ...

Conceptual processing is referenced to the experienced location of the self, not to the location of the physical body

Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

We tested whether an experimentally induced change in the experienced location of the self by means of the Full Body Illusion (FBI) would impact high-level cognitive processing. In an implicit association task, participants saw a landscape where words, con ...

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 ...

Moving sounds within the peripersonal space modulate the motor system

Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri, Michela Bassolino

Interactions between ourselves and the external world are mediated by a multisensory representation of the space surrounding the body, i.e. the peripersonal space (PPS). In particular, a special interplay is observed among tactile stimuli delivered on a bo ...

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

Olaf Blanke, Jean-Paul Noel, Andrea Serino, 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 ...

Dissociating effect of upper limb non-use and overuse on space and body representations

Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri, Michela Bassolino

Accurate and updated representations of the space where the body acts, i.e. the peripersonal space (PPS), and the location and dimension of body parts (body representation, BR) are essential to perform actions. Because both PPS and BR are involved in motor ...

Bodies and objects: Biofeedback response from architectonic experience

Body part-centered and full body-centered peripersonal space representations

Hervé Lissek, Olaf Blanke, Patrick Marmaroli, Jean-Paul Noel, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

Dedicated neural systems represent the space surrounding the body, termed Peripersonal space (PPS), by integrating visual or auditory stimuli occurring near the body with somatosensory information. As a behavioral proxy to PPS, we measured participants' re ...

Combining proprioception and touch to compute spatial information

Elisa Canzoneri

Localising a tactile stimulus in egocentric space involves integrating information from skin receptors with proprioceptive inputs about body posture. We investigated whether body posture automatically influences tactile spatial judgements, even when it is ...
