This review aims to provide a comprehensive outlook on the sensory (visual and haptic)
contributions to reaching and grasping. The focus is on studies in developing children …

Mounting evidence suggest that the right-hemisphere (RH) has a relative advantage, over
the left-hemisphere (LH), in mediating social intelligence-identifying social stimuli …

The rubber hand illusion (RHI) allows insights into how the brain resolves conflicting
multisensory information regarding body position and ownership. Previous neuroimaging …

Often, the brain receives more sensory input than it can process simultaneously. Spatial
attention helps overcome this limitation by preferentially processing input from a …

Recent literature has demonstrated that hand position can affect visual processing, a set of
phenomena termed Near Hand Effects (NHEs). Across four studies we looked for single …

Preparing to grasp objects facilitates visual processing of object location, orientation and
size, compared to preparing actions such as pointing. This influence of action on perception …

Over the past 10 years, perception scientists have uncovered a surprising connection
between people's vision and their hands. There is now compelling evidence that how …

The effect of hand proximity on vision and visual attention has been well documented. In this
study we tested whether such effect (s) would also be present in the auditory modality. With …

Recent studies have demonstrated altered visual processing of stimuli in the proximal region
of the hand. It has been challenging to characterize the range and nature of these …

Office workers consistently report greater productivity in the workplace when standing
compared to sitting (Chambers et al., 2019; MacEwan et al., 2015; Mantzari et al., 2018). In …
