Objects exhibit body model like shape distortions

Modelling shape distortions in composite products

Woven fabric reinforced composite materials are typically applied in plate or shell structures, such as ribs, stiffeners and skins. Products of this type can be manufactured with several processes. A few examples are compression moulding, diaphragm forming, matched metal die forming and Rubber Press Forming (RPF). Shape distortions can occur during manufacturing of composite products. During th...

Mental body representations retain homuncular shape distortions: Evidence from Weberâ€TMs illusion

Mental body representations retain homuncular shape distortions: Evidence from Weber's illusion.

Mental body representations underlying tactile perception do not accurately reflect the body's true morphology. For example, perceived tactile distance is dependent on both the body part being touched and the stimulus orientation, a phenomenon called Weber's illusion. These findings suggest the presence of size and shape distortions, respectively. However, whereas each morphological feature is ...

Distortions of Body Representations 1 RUNNING HEAD: Distortions of Body Representations Distorted Body Representations in Healthy Cognition

Body image distortions in healthy adults.

Distortions of body image have often been investigated in clinical disorders. Much of this literature implicitly assumes healthy adults maintain an accurate body image. We recently developed a novel, implicit, and quantitative measure of body image - the Body Image Task (BIT). Here, we report a large-scale analysis of performance on this task by healthy adults. In both an in-person and an onlin...
