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 …

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 …

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 …

Recent studies have shown that a fake body part can be incorporated into human body
representation through synchronous multisensory stimulation on the fake and corresponding …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

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 …

Many human behaviours and pathologies have been attributed to the putative mirror neuron
system, a neural system that is active during both the observation and execution of actions …

Background We physically interact with external stimuli when they occur within a limited
space immediately surrounding the body, ie, Peripersonal Space (PPS). In the primate brain …

The perception of our self is not restricted to our physical boundaries, but it extends beyond
the body to incorporate the space where individual–environment interactions occur, ie, the …
