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 …

Bodily experience is a complex, mostly unconscious, process that requires the integration of
multiple sensory inputs. This paper reviews the sensory systems involved in internal …

There are two main pathways to investigate the sense of body ownership,(i) through the
study of the conditions of embodiment for an object to be experienced as one's own and (ii) …

How do we come to feel that we own our body? What is the relationship between our body

The feeling of body ownership is a fundamental aspect of self-consciousness. The

Phantom limbs provide valuable insight into the mechanisms underlying bodily awareness
and ownership. This paper reviews the complexity of phantom limb phenomena …

The mindless act of swatting a mosquito on the hand poses a remarkable challenge for the

Here we offer a thorough review of the empirical literature on the conditions under which an
object, such as a tool or a prosthetic (whether real or virtual), can be experienced as being in …

To respond to a touch, it is often necessary to localize it in space, and not just on the skin.
The computation of this external spatial location involves the integration of somatosensation …
