Recent work in human cognitive neuroscience has linked self-consciousness to the
processing of multisensory bodily signals (bodily self-consciousness [BSC]) in fronto-parietal …

Our brain has developed a specific system to represent the space closely surrounding the
body, termed peripersonal space (PPS). This space has a key functional role as it is where …

Predominant conceptual frameworks often describe peripersonal space (PPS) as a single,
distance-based, in-or-out zone within which stimuli elicit enhanced neural and behavioural …

Out of all the human senses, touch is the one that is most often unappreciated, and
undervalued. Yet, the surface of the human body, the skin, is actually one huge sheet of …

Research in neuroscience reveals that the brain constructs multiple representation of space.
Here, we primarily focus on peripersonal space (PPS) representation, the region of space …

While space is perceived as unitary, experimental evidence indicates that the brain actually
contains a modular representation of space, specific cortical regions being involved in the …

Several studies in humans and non-human primates have explored and characterised the
features of the cortical representation of the portion of space immediately surrounding the …

The ability to identify and localize our own limbs is crucial for survival. Indeed, the majority of
our interactions with objects occur within the space surrounding the hands. In non-human …

Over the last decades, scientists have questioned the origin of the exquisite human mastery
of tools. Seminal studies in monkeys, healthy participants and brain-damaged patients have …

Behavioral studies in humans and electrophysiological recordings in nonhuman primates
have suggested the existence of a specific representation of the space immediately …
