Peripersonal space and body schema: two labels for the same concept?
To sensibly interact with the environment, like when grasping objects and navigating through
space, the brain needs to compute not only target- and environment-related inputs, but also …

Prism adaptation in the rehabilitation of patients with visuo-spatial cognitive disorders
The neural mechanisms underpinning visuo-manual plasticity can be viewed as a powerful
rehabilitation tool that produces straightforward effects not only on visual and motor …

Left tactile extinction following visual stimulation of a rubber hand
In close analogy with neurophysiological findings in monkeys, neuropsychological studies
have shown that the human brain constructs visual maps of space surrounding different body …

Prism adaptation to a rightward optical deviation rehabilitates left hemispatial neglect
A large proportion of right-hemisphere stroke patients show hemispatial neglect—a neurological
deficit of perception, attention, representation, and/or performing actions within their left-…

Shaping multisensory action–space with tools: evidence from patients with cross-modal extinction
Recent findings from neurophysiology, neuropsychology and psychology have shown that
peri-personal space is represented through an integrated multisensory processing. In humans…

Ameliorating neglect with prism adaptation: visuo-manual and visuo-verbal measures
Previous studies have shown that adaptation to rightward displacing prisms improves
performance of neglect patients on visuo-manual (VM) tasks such as line cancellation, figure …

Dynamic size-change of hand peripersonal space following tool use
Humans and monkeys share similar sensory integrated processing of tactile and peri-hand
visual inputs for coding peripersonal space surrounding the hand. In monkeys, tool use is …

Tool-use induces morphological updating of the body schema
To control bodily movements the human brain relies on a somatosensory representation
referred to as the body schema [1]. The almost century-old hypothesis that tool-use induces …

Bilateral representations of touch in the primary somatosensory cortex
According to current textbook knowledge, the primary somatosensory cortex (SI) supports
unilateral tactile representations, whereas structures beyond SI, in particular the secondary …

Sensing with tools extends somatosensory processing beyond the body
The ability to extend sensory information processing beyond the nervous system 1 has been
observed throughout the animal kingdom; for example, when rodents palpate objects using …
