After death experiences in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Sense of agency for intracortical brain-machine interfaces
Audio-visual sensory deprivation degrades visuo-tactile peri-personal space
Balancing awareness
The effect of limb crossing and limb congruency on multisensory integration in peripersonal space for the upper and lower extremities
Multisensory brain mechanisms of bodily self-consciousness
I feel who I see
My face through the looking-glass
First Person Experience of Body Transfer in Virtual Reality
BACKGROUND: Altering the normal association between touch and its visual correlate can result in the illusory perception of a fake limb as part of our own body. Thus, when touch is seen to be applied to a rubber hand while felt synchronously on the corresponding hidden real hand, an illusion of ownership of the rubber hand usually occurs. The illusion has also been demonstrated using visuomotor correlation between the movements of the hidden real…
Illusory own body perceptions
How vestibular stimulation interacts with illusory hand ownership
The influence of sex and empathy on putting oneself in the shoes of others
We tested whether putting oneself in the shoes of others is easier for women, possibly as a function of individuals' empathy levels, and whether any sex difference might be modulated by the sex of presented figures. Participants ( N =100, 50 women) imagined (a) being in the spatial position of front‐facing and back‐facing female and male figures (third person perspective (3PP) task) and (b) that the figures were their own mirror reflections (firs…
Full-body illusions and minimal phenomenal selfhood
The mental time line
Spatial aspects of bodily self-consciousness
Video Ergo Sum
Humans normally experience the conscious self as localized within their bodily borders. This spatial unity may break down in certain neurological conditions such as out-of-body experiences, leading to a striking disturbance of bodily self-consciousness. On the basis of these clinical data, we designed an experiment that uses conflicting visual-somatosensory input in virtual reality to disrupt the spatial unity between the self and the body. We fo…
Cognitive neuroscience of ownership and agency
Out‐of‐body experience and autoscopy of neurological origin
During an out-of-body experience (OBE), the experient seems to be awake and to see his body and the world from a location outside the physical body. A closely related experience is autoscopy (AS), which is characterized by the experience of seeing one's body in extrapersonal space. Yet, despite great public interest and many case studies, systematic neurological studies of OBE and AS are extremely rare and, to date, no testable neuroscientific th…
