Recent work in human cognitive neuroscience has linked self-consciousness to the
processing of multisensory bodily signals (bodily self-consciousness [BSC]) in fronto-parietal …

Our brain has developed a specific system to represent the space closely surrounding the
body, termed peripersonal space (PPS). This space has a key functional role as it is where …

Auditory distance perception plays a major role in spatial awareness, enabling location of
objects and avoidance of obstacles in the environment. However, it remains under …

Research in neuroscience reveals that the brain constructs multiple representation of space.
Here, we primarily focus on peripersonal space (PPS) representation, the region of space …

Several studies in humans and non-human primates have explored and characterised the
features of the cortical representation of the portion of space immediately surrounding the …

Interaction with objects in the environment typically requires integrating information
concerning the object location with the position and size of body parts. The former …

Over the last decades, scientists have questioned the origin of the exquisite human mastery
of tools. Seminal studies in monkeys, healthy participants and brain-damaged patients have …

The space around the body, ie, peripersonal space (PPS), is conceived as a multisensory-
motor interface between body and environment. PPS is represented by frontoparietal …

The aim of our paper is to show that there is a sense of body that is enactive in nature and
that enables to capture the most primitive sense of self. We will argue that the body is …

Background We physically interact with external stimuli when they occur within a limited
space immediately surrounding the body, ie, Peripersonal Space (PPS). In the primate brain …
