A central question about the human mind is whether perception is an encapsulated process
driven purely by sensory information or whether it is intricately linked with cognitive …

Pioneering investigations in the mid-19th century revealed that the perception of tactile cues
presented to the surface of the skin improves with training, which is referred to as tactile …

To sense and interact with objects in the environment, we effortlessly configure our fingertips
at desired locations. It is therefore reasonable to assume that the underlying control …

Movements towards touch on the body require integrating tactile location and body posture
information. Tactile processing and movement planning both rely on posterior parietal cortex …

The spatial coding of tactile information is functionally essential for touch-based shape
perception and motor control. However, the spatiotemporal dynamics of how tactile …

Humans show perceptual biases that suggest distorted internal representations of their own
body. New research reveals that these perceptual biases can reflect integration of prior …

To configure our limbs in space, the brain must compute their position based on sensory
information provided by mechanoreceptors in the skin, muscles, and joints. Because this …

Hand visibility affects motor control, perception, and attention, as visual information is
integrated into an internal model of somatomotor control. Spontaneous brain activity, ie, at …

To understand how we perceive the world around us, illusions have been used to gain
insight into our perceptual systems. The most common types of illusions studied are visual …

The purpose of the present study was to elucidate whether an external reference frame
contributes to tactile localization in blindfolded healthy humans. In a session, the right …
