Perception and perceptual decision-making are strongly facilitated by prior knowledge about
the probabilistic structure of the world. While the computational benefits of using prior …

In adult life, people normally know what they are doing. This experience of controlling one's
own actions and, through them, the course of events in the outside world is called'sense of …

The cortex is organized as a hierarchical processing structure. Feedback from higher levels
of the hierarchy, known as top-down signals, have been shown to be involved in attentional …

This is a review of the proprioceptive senses generated as a result of our own actions. They
include the senses of position and movement of our limbs and trunk, the sense of effort, the …

Two theoretical ideas have emerged recently with the ambition to provide a unifying
functional explanation of neural population coding and dynamics: predictive coding and …

The descending projections from motor cortex share many features with top-down or
backward connections in visual cortex; for example, corticospinal projections originate in …

Insula function is considered critical for many motivated behaviors, with proposed functions
ranging from attention, behavioral control, emotional regulation, goal-directed and aversion …

Research on motor imagery has identified many similarities between imagined and
executed actions at the behavioral, physiological and neural levels, thus supporting their …

This manuscript reviews historical and recent studies that focus on supplementary sensory
feedback for use in upper limb prostheses. It shows that the inability of many studies to …

Recognising and representing one's self as distinct from others is a fundamental component
of self-awareness. However, current theories of self-recognition are not embedded within …
