Sharing numerous characteristics with suppression in the other senses, tactile suppression
is a reliable phenomenon that accompanies movement. By investigating the simplest of …

The perception of tactile stimuli presented on a moving hand is systematically suppressed.
Such suppression has been attributed to the limited capacity of the brain to process task …

We report three experiments designed to investigate changes in tactile sensitivity over the
time-course of goal-directed movements. A dual-task paradigm involving a speeded …

Saccades cause compression of visual space around the saccadic target, and also a
compression of time, both phenomena thought to be related to the problem of maintaining …

Figure 1: Vertical meridian effect. Schematic drawing of the experimental set up used by
Rizzolatti, Riggio, Dascola, Umiltà (1987) to test the presence of the Vertical meridian effect …

The present study investigated the selection for action hypothesis, according to which a
subject's action intention to perform a movement influences the way in which visual …

Growing evidence suggests that time in the subsecond range is tightly linked to sensory
processing. Event-time can be distorted by sensory adaptation, and many temporal illusions …

Reaching with the hand is characterized by a decrease in sensitivity to tactile stimuli
presented to the moving hand. Here, we investigated whether tactile suppression can be …

Tactile information is differentially processed over the various phases of goal-directed
movements. Here, event-related potentials (ERPs) were used to investigate the neural …

During covert shifts of tactile spatial attention both somatotopic and external reference
frames are employed to encode hand location. When participants cross their hands these …
