Shaping the bodily self
Body ownership is commonly studied using the rubber hand illusion (RHI), an experimental paradigm that induces a temporary feeling of owning a fake hand. Although the illusion demonstrates that multisensory integration is at the core of body ownership, factors like personality traits also modulate the experience and/or intensity of the illusion in a top-down manner. Here, we investigated the role of early attachment experiences as a factor that c…
Me, us, and others
Faces play a pivotal role in human interaction, and the rapid processing of face identity and emotional expressions is essential for effective social behaviour. Here, we investigated whether and how face identity and emotional expressions jointly affect face visual awareness. We manipulated three levels of identity (Self, Friend, Stranger) and emotional expressions (Happy, Neutral, Angry) in a Binocular Rivalry (BR) paradigm. Results show that Ne…
The role of body ownership in postural control
The role of identity priming on the (unconscious) bodily self-attribution
It has been recently demonstrated that hand stimuli presented in a first-, with respect to a third-, person perspective were prioritized before awareness independently from their identity (i.e., self, or other). This pattern would represent an unconscious advantage for self-related bodily stimuli rooted in spatial perspective. To deeper investigate the role of identity, we employed a breaking-Continuous Flash Suppression paradigm in which a self-…
Effects of hunger and calorie content on visual awareness of food stimuli
Calorie content and hunger are two fundamental cues acting upon the processing of visually presented food items. However, whether and to which extent they affect visual awareness is still an open question. Here, high- and low-calorie food images administered to hungry or satiated participants were confronted in a breaking-Continuous Flash Suppression paradigm (Experiment 1), measuring the time required to access to visual awareness, and in a Bino…
Body ownership and kinaesthetic illusions
Self-other distinction modulates the social softness illusion
The social softness illusion (i.e., the tendency to perceive another person's skin as softer than our own) is thought to promote the sharing of social-emotional experiences because of the rewarding properties of receiving and giving social affective touch. Here we investigated whether the ability to distinguish someone else’s body from our own modulates the social softness illusion. In particular, we tested whether the spatial perspective taken b…
Owning a virtual body entails owning the value of its actions in a detection-of-deception procedure
Musical expertise affects the sense of agency
“As long as that is my hand, that willed action is mine”
On my right or on your left? Spontaneous spatial perspective taking in blind people
Temporal perception in joint action
Executed and imagined bimanual movements
Movements with both hands are essential to our everyday life, and it has been shown that performing asymmetric bimanual movements produces an interference effect between hands. There have been many studies--using varying methods--investigating the development of bimanual movements that show that this skill continues to evolve during childhood and adolescence. In the current study we used a spatial bimanual task to delineate the development of bim…
