Visual perception changes as a function of hand proximity. While various theoretical
accounts have been offered for this alteration (attentional prioritisation, bimodal cell …

Observers experience biases in visual processing for objects within easy reach of their
hands; these biases may assist them in evaluating items that are candidates for action. I …

Although previous work provides evidence that observers experience biases in visual
processing when they view stimuli in perihand space, a few recent investigations have …

Behavioral studies suggest that visual attention is biased toward stimuli in the region of
space near the palm of the hand, but it is unclear whether this effect is universal or selective …

An effective interaction with the environment requires adaptation of one's own behaviour to
environmental demands. We do so by using cues from our environment and relating these …

Psychological phenomena are embodied to the extent that bodily processes (whether
perceptual, expressive, or action-oriented) contribute to them. A great deal of research, most …

Research on spatial attention traditionally focuses on how it is influenced by the location of
objects within the visual environment and by expectations about those objects. However, a …

A huge body of research in humans and monkeys has provided evidence for altered
processing of items that are presented close to the hands. At the same time, the underlying …

Facilitation of visual processing has been reported in the space near the hand. To
understand the underlying mechanism of hand proximity attention, we conducted …

The proximity of hand position alters the processing of visual stimuli. Stimuli presented close
(proximal) to hands receive an enhanced allocation of visual attention compared to stimuli …
