How is wholeness inferred from parts in bodily awareness? The perception of one’s body parts and one’s body as a whole involves local and global multisensory processes in a hierarchical structure 📢New from: O’Kane, Brain, Body, and Self Lab, and Marie Chancel sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are looking for new postdocs! Apply before the deadline April 22nd. ki.varbi.com/what:job/jobID…

Are you interested in the cognitive and neural processes underpinning the sense of bodily self? The deadline for the open postdoc position in our group is approaching on April 22.

Settling the debate: self-touch feels weaker, not stronger.

Congratulations, Dominika Radziun (Dr Dominika Radziun), on your excellent PhD thesis and this prestigious prize! The award-winning thesis investigates how blind people experience their own bodies, including sensations from within, such as heartbeats, and can be found here:

New paper out with Marcelo Arancibia & Juan Carlos Martínez! This is a report on a shocking case of dissociative identity disorder ("multiple personalities") that we assessed & treated a long time ago, during my clinical days. Now published in Neurocase: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

An fMRI study suggests that adaptation to sensorimotor delays when touching one hand with the other dynamically alters the activity in somatosensory and cerebellar regions. Konstantina Kilteni, Touch&Tickle Lab, Brain, Body, and Self Lab nature.com/articles/s4200…

Somatosensory and cerebellar activity reflects learning of predicted sensory delays in self-generated touch. Read the new Communications Biology article led by Konstantina Kilteni here: nature.com/articles/s4200…

Check out the thread by Konstantina Kilteni below on the fMRI correlates of temporal recalibration of self-touch!

Experiencing pain from an artificial limb that feels like your own: In our new study led by Sara Coppi, and in collaboration with Karin Jensen (kipainandbrain), we report how the rubber hand illusion can be elicited by selective laser activation of nociceptive C and Aδ fibers.
