Bodily Illusions Modulate Tactile Perception
Touch differs from other exteroceptive senses in that the body itself forms part of the tactile percept. Interactions between proprioception and touch provide a powerful way to investigate the implicit body representation underlying touch. Here, we demonstrate that an intrinsic primary quality of a tactile object, for example its size, is directly affected by the perceived size of the body part...
متن کاملBodily illusions disrupt tactile sensations.
To accurately interpret tactile information, the brain needs to have an accurate representation of the body to which to refer the sensations. Despite this, body representation has only recently been incorporated into the study of tactile perception. Here, we investigate whether distortions of body representation affect tactile sensations. We perceptually altered the length of the arm and the wi...
متن کاملTactile perception, cortical representation and the bodily self
The sensory information we receive from our own bodies is unique, both from epistemological and neurological points of view. Philosophers have noted the immediate, private quality of bodily sensation. I can understand your visual percepts by looking in the same direction as you, but understanding your tactile sensation would require being in your skin! Descartes took an additional step, arguing...
متن کاملProprioceptive Body Illusions Modulate the Visual Perception of Reaching Distance
The neurobiology of reaching has been extensively studied in human and non-human primates. However, the mechanisms that allow a subject to decide-without engaging in explicit action-whether an object is reachable are not fully understood. Some studies conclude that decisions near the reach limit depend on motor simulations of the reaching movement. Others have shown that the body schema plays a...
متن کاملThe Structure of Conscious Bodily Self-Perception during Full-Body Illusions
Previous research suggests that bodily self-identification, bodily self-localization, agency, and the sense of being present in space are critical aspects of conscious full-body self-perception. However, none of the existing studies have investigated the relationship of these aspects to each other, i.e., whether they can be identified to be distinguishable components of the structure of conscio...
