[HTML][HTML] Distortions of perceived volume and length of body parts

R Sadibolova, ER Ferre, SA Linkenauger, MR Longo - Cortex, 2019 - Elsevier
We experience our body as a 3D, volumetric object in the world. Measures of our conscious
body image, in contrast, have investigated the perception of body size along one or two …

Perception of vibrotactile distance on the back

MA Plaisier, LIN Sap, AML Kappers - Scientific Reports, 2020 - nature.com
Vibrotactile displays worn on the back can be used as sensory substitution device. Often
vibrotactile stimulation is chosen because vibration motors are easy to incorporate and …

[HTML][HTML] Reconstructing neural representations of tactile space

L Tamè, R Tucciarelli, R Sadibolova, MI Sereno… - Neuroimage, 2021 - Elsevier
Psychophysical experiments have demonstrated large and highly systematic perceptual

Multisensory integration reduces landmark distortions for tactile but not visual targets

P Soballa, C Frings… - Journal of …, 2023 - journals.physiology.org
Target localization is influenced by the presence of additionally presented nontargets,
termed landmarks. In both the visual and tactile modality, these landmarks led to systematic …

The longer the reference, the shorter the legs: How response modality affects body perception

G Tosi, D Romano - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2020 - Springer
There is a growing interest in the characterization of the internal body model: a stored
representation of the metric properties of the body. Tactile Distance Task (TDT) is an …

I am the metre: The representation of one's body size affects the perception of tactile distances on the body

G Tosi, A Maravita, D Romano - Quarterly Journal of …, 2022 - journals.sagepub.com
Humans must ground the perception of one's body in a mental representation to move in
space and interact with objects. This representation can be temporarily altered artificially. In …

The haptic intensity order illusion is caused by amplitude changes

When two brief vibrotactile stimulations are sequentially applied to observers' lower back,
there is systematic mislocalization of the stimulation: if the second stimulation is of higher …

Sex differences in perceptual hand maps: A meta-analysis

MR Longo - Acta psychologica, 2019 - Elsevier
A large body of research has suggested that localisation of the hand in external space relies
