The sense of proprioception allows us to keep track of our limb posture and movements and
the sense of touch provides us with information about objects with which we come into …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Traditionally, different classes of cutaneous mechanoreceptive afferents are ascribed
different and largely non-overlapping functional roles (for example texture or motion) …

We investigated how motor agency in the voluntary control of body movement influences
body awareness. In the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI), synchronous tactile stimulation of a …

The commentaries have raised important points regarding different aspects of our model.
Some have queried the nature of the proposed dissociations, whereas others have …

In monkeys, the somatosensory cortex on the parietal operculum can be differentiated into
several distinct cortical fields. Potential human homologues for these areas have already …

We traced the cortical connections of the anterior intraparietal (AIP) area, which is known to
play a crucial role in visuomotor transformations for grasping. AIP displayed major …

Touch differs from other exteroceptive senses in that the body itself forms part of the tactile
percept. Interactions between proprioception and touch provide a powerful way to …

In primates, neural mechanisms for controlling skilled hand actions primarily rely on
sensorimotor transformations. These transformations are mediated by circuits linking specific …

Neural representation of somatosensory events undergoes major transformation in the
primary somatosensory cortex (SI) from its original, more or less isomorphic, form found at …
