Multisensory integration in Peripersonal Space indexes consciousness states in sleep and disorders of consciousness

The paper identifies a neural marker of peripersonal space (PPS) integration in EEG data and shows its presence correlates with conscious states in sleep and disorders of consciousness.

Proprioception Impacts Body Perception in Healthy Aging: Insights from a Psychophysical and Computational Approach

This study investigates age-related changes in body perception by comparing multisensory processing in older and young adults, finding that proprioceptive decline contributes to altered body ownership and metric body representation.

Human primary motor cortex indexes the onset of subjective intention in brain-machine-interface mediated actions

The paper examines neural dynamics in human primary motor cortex during brain-machine-interface mediated actions, showing that M1 encodes the onset of subjective intention.

Virtual reality-based sensorimotor adaptation shapes subsequent spontaneous and naturalistic stimulus-driven brain activity

This study shows that virtual reality-based sensorimotor adaptation alters spontaneous brain connectivity and biases visual representations of naturalistic stimuli in healthy participants.

Acute stress affects peripersonal space representation

This study examines how acute stress affects peripersonal space representation by measuring visuotactile interactions and cortisol levels in humans.

Palm-to-finger cortical functional interactions in primary somatosensory cortex: a 7T fMRI study

This study uses 7T fMRI to investigate palm and finger representations in primary somatosensory cortex, finding that functional interactions are better predicted by hand structure than somatotopic organization.

Rapid Recalibration of Peri-Personal Space; Psychophysical, Electrophysiological, and Neural Network Modeling Evidence

The paper demonstrates that peri-personal space encoding adapts rapidly to sensory history, supported by psychophysical, electrophysiological, and neural network modeling evidence.

Viewing one’s body during encoding boosts episodic memory

The paper shows that viewing one’s body during encoding improves delayed recognition memory for 3D scenes, linking bodily self-consciousness to episodic memory.

Audio-tactile and peripersonal space processing around the trunk in human parietal and temporal cortex: an intracranial EEG study

This study uses intracranial EEG to show that peripersonal space processing around the trunk in humans involves multisensory integration and spatial modulation in specific brain regions.

Unconscious integration of multisensory bodily inputs in the peripersonal space shapes bodily self-consciousness

This study shows that unconscious multisensory integration in peripersonal space influences bodily self-consciousness, even when stimuli are below conscious perception.
