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 …

Predominant conceptual frameworks often describe peripersonal space (PPS) as a single,
distance-based, in-or-out zone within which stimuli elicit enhanced neural and behavioural …

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 …

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 …

While space is perceived as unitary, experimental evidence indicates that the brain actually
contains a modular representation of space, specific cortical regions being involved in the …

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 perception of our self is not restricted to our physical boundaries, but it extends beyond
the body to incorporate the space where individual–environment interactions occur, ie, the …

Behavioral studies in humans and electrophysiological recordings in nonhuman primates
have suggested the existence of a specific representation of the space immediately …

The space immediately surrounding the body, ie peripersonal space (PPS), is represented
by populations of multisensory neurons, from a network of premotor and parietal areas …

Humans hold a very accurate representation of the metrics of their body parts. Recent
evidence shows that the spatial estimation of body parts length, as assessed through a …
