Active inference, sensory attenuation and illusions
Active inference provides a simple and neurobiologically plausible account of how action
and perception are coupled in producing (Bayes) optimal behaviour. This can be seen most …

[HTML][HTML] Age effects on sensorimotor predictions: What drives increased tactile suppression during reaching?
Tactile suppression refers to the phenomenon that tactile signals are attenuated during
movement planning and execution when presented on a moving limb compared to rest. It is …

[HTML][HTML] Attentional modulation of somatosensory processing during the anticipation of movements accompanying pain: an event-related potential study
Attending to pain-relevant information is crucial to protect us from physical harm. Behavioral
studies have already suggested that during anticipation of pain somatosensory input at the …

Does experimentally induced pain-related fear influence central and peripheral movement preparation in healthy people and patients with low back pain?
S Schouppe, A Clauwaert, J Van Oosterwijck… - Pain, 2020 - journals.lww.com
Nonspecific chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a multifactorial disorder. Pain-related fear and

Motor action changes pain perception: a sensory attenuation paradigm in the context of pain
A large body of evidence indicates how pain affects motor control, yet the way the motor
system influences pain perception remains unclear. We present 2 experiments that …

Modulation of attention to pain by goal-directed action: a somatosensory evoked potentials approach
Background Attentional processes are modulated by current goal pursuit. While pursuing
salient cognitive goals, individuals prioritize goal-related information and suppress goal …

Attention wins over sensory attenuation in a sound detection task
'Sensory attenuation', ie, reduced neural responses to self-induced compared to externally
generated stimuli, is a well-established phenomenon. However, very few studies directly …
