The Peripersonal Space in a social world

The PeriPersonal Space (PPS) has been defined as the space surrounding body, where physical interactions with elements of environment take place. As our world is social in nature, recent evidence revealed complex modulation factors onto PPS representation. In light growing interest field, this review we a close look at experimental approaches undertaken to assess impact Our also influences personal (PS), concept stemming from psychology, keep between us and others avoid discomfort. Here analytically compare PS aim understanding if how they relate each other. At behavioral level, multiplicity methodologies, whether well-established or novel, lead somewhat divergent results interpretations. Beyond behavior, physiological neural signatures representation discuss interoceptive signals could contribute representation, well these internal shape responses particular, by merging exteroceptive information that come may promote an integrated self, distinct others. We put forward integrating external brain for perception proximal environmental stimuli provide better processes play during interactions. Adopting such integrative stance offer novel insights about world. Finally, possible links research cognition, link intentions feelings around appropriate
