Spatial representations in the human brain

NA Herweg, MJ Kahana - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2018 - frontiersin.org
While extensive research on the neurophysiology of spatial memory has been carried out in
rodents, memory research in humans had traditionally focused on more abstract, language …

What can errors tell us about body representations?

J Medina, HB Coslett - Cognitive Neuropsychology, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
In this review, we examine how tactile misperceptions provide evidence regarding body
representations. First, we propose that tactile detection and localization are serial processes …

Feeling a touch to the hand on the foot

S Badde, B Roeder, T Heed - Current Biology, 2019 - cell.com
Where we perceive a touch putatively depends on topographic maps that code the touch's
location on the skin [1] as well as its position in external space [2–5]. However, neither …

Reaching to the self: The development of infants' ability to localize targets on the body

JE Leed, LK Chinn, JJ Lockman - Psychological science, 2019 - journals.sagepub.com
This study focused on the development of infants' sensorimotor knowledge about the layout
of their bodies. Little is known about the development of the body as a reaching space …

FeelMusic: enriching our emotive experience of music through audio-tactile mappings

A Haynes, J Lawry, C Kent, J Rossiter - Multimodal Technologies and …, 2021 - mdpi.com
We present and evaluate the concept of FeelMusic and evaluate an implementation of it. It is
an augmentation of music through the haptic translation of core musical elements. Music …

How visual experience impacts the internal and external spatial mapping of sensorimotor functions

V Crollen, G Albouy, F Lepore, O Collignon - Scientific Reports, 2017 - nature.com
Tactile perception and motor production share the use of internally-and externally-defined
coordinates. In order to examine how visual experience affects the internal/external coding …

Tactile localization biases are modulated by gaze direction

S Medina, L Tamè, MR Longo - Experimental brain research, 2018 - Springer
Identifying the spatial location of touch on the skin surface is a fundamental function of our
somatosensory system. Despite the fact that stimulation of even single mechanoreceptive …

[HTML][HTML] The causal role of vision in the development of spatial coordinates: Evidence from visually impaired children.

A Bollini, E Cocchi, V Salvagno… - Journal of Experimental …, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
Many findings suggest that visual deprivation in early life negatively affects the development
of spatial competence and that sighted and visually impaired individuals use different …

Development of reaching to the body in early infancy: From experiments to robotic models

M Hoffmann, LK Chinn, E Somogyi… - 2017 Joint IEEE …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We have been observing how infants between 3 and 21 months react when a vibrotactile
stimulation (a buzzer) is applied to different parts of their bodies. Responses included in …

Exploring the response code in a compatibility effect between physical size and left/right responses: The hand is more important than location.

C Seegelke, M Richter, T Heed… - Journal of Experimental …, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
The spatial-size association of response codes (SSARC) effect refers to the finding of better
performance with the left hand to small stimuli and with the right hand to large stimuli, as …
