Although our sensory experience is mostly multisensory in nature, research on working
memory representations has focused mainly on examining the senses in isolation. Results …

Action is a cover term used to refer to a large set of motor processes differing in domain
specificities (eg execution or observation). Here we review neuroimaging evidence on …

The visual context of seeing the body can reduce the experience of acute pain, producing a

Recent literature suggests that tactile events are represented in the primary somatosensory
cortex (S1) beyond its long-established topography; in addition, the extent to which S1 is …

Human brain activity allows to anticipate future events and to prepare the next action
accordingly; consistently, event-related potential (ERP) studies found action preparatory …

Both visual and haptic information add to the perception of surface texture. While prior
studies have reported crossmodal interactions of both sensory modalities at the behavioral …

Recent studies indicate that the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is active not only when
touch is physically perceived but also when it is merely observed to be experienced by …
