Adaptive body representation requires the continuous integration of multisensory inputs
within a flexible 'body model'in the brain. The present review evaluates the idea that this …

The rubber hand illusion (RHI) is a widely applied paradigm to investigate changes in body
representations. Extensive scientific interest has produced a great variability in the observed …

When we look at our body parts, we are immediately aware that they belong to us and we
rarely doubt about the integrity, continuity, and sense of ownership of our body. Despite this …

Some recent papers by P. Lush and colleagues have argued that the rubber hand illusion
(RHI), where participants can feel a rubber hand as their own under appropriate …

Our interaction with the world rests on the knowledge that we are a body in space and time,
which can interact with the environment. This awareness is usually referred to as sense of …

In the study of bodily awareness, the predictive coding theory has revealed that our brain
continuously modulates sensory experiences to integrate them into a unitary body …

To offer engaging neurorehabilitation training to neurologic patients, motor tasks are often
visualized in virtual reality (VR). Recently introduced head-mounted displays (HMDs) allow …

The development of neural interfaces to provide improved control and somatosensory
feedback from prosthetic limbs has initiated a new ability to probe the various dimensions of …

Dual-site transcranial magnetic stimulation (ds-TMS) is well suited to investigate the causal
effect of distant brain regions on the primary motor cortex, both at rest and during motor …

In immersive virtual reality, the own body is often visually represented by an avatar. This may
induce a feeling of body ownership over the virtual limbs. Importantly, body ownership and …
