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 …

Adaptive body representation requires the continuous integration of multisensory inputs
within a flexible 'body model'in the brain. The present review evaluates the idea that this …

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 …

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 …

The space immediately surrounding the body, ie peripersonal space (PPS), is represented
by populations of multisensory neurons, from a network of premotor and parietal areas …

When interacting with objects and other people, the brain needs to locate our limbs and the
relevant visual information surrounding them. Studies on monkeys showed that information …

The continuous stream of multisensory information between the brain and the body during
body–environment interactions is crucial to maintain the updated representation of the …
