Asymmetrical body perception: a possible role for neural body representations.
Perception of one's body is related not only to the physical appearance of the body, but also to the neural representation of the body. The brain contains many body maps that systematically differ between right- and left-handed people. In general, the cortical representations of the right arm and right hand tend to be of greater area in the left hemisphere than in the right hemisphere for right...
متن کاملAsymmetrical representation of body orientation.
The perceived orientation of objects, gravity, and the body are biased to the left. Whether this leftward bias is attributable to biases in sensing or processing vestibular, visual, and body sense cues has never been assessed directly. The orientation in which characters are most easily recognized--the perceived upright (PU)--can be well predicted from a weighted vector sum of these sensory cue...
متن کاملAsymmetrical perception of body rotation after unilateral injury to human vestibular cortex.
Vestibular information plays a key role in many perceptual and cognitive functions, but surprisingly little is known about how vestibular signals are processed at the cortical level in humans. To address this issue, we tested the ability of two patients, with damage to key components of the vestibular network in either the left or right hemisphere, to perceive passive whole-body rotations (25-1...
متن کاملPerception of the physical stability of asymmetrical three-dimensional objects
Visual estimation of object stability is an ecologically important judgment that allows observers to predict the physical behavior of objects. A natural method that has been used in previous work to measure perceived object stability is the estimation of perceived “critical angle” – the angle at which an object appears equally likely to fall over versus return to its upright stable position. Fo...
متن کاملAsymmetrical perception of motion smear in infantile nystagmus
Normal observers perceive less motion smear if a target moves in the opposite direction of a smooth eye movement than if the target moves to produce the same retinal image speed in the same direction as the eye movement. This study investigated whether a similar asymmetrical attenuation of perceived motion smear occurs in observers with infantile nystagmus (IN). Observers (N=3) viewed a laser s...
