How is our self related to midline regions and the default-mode network?
The problem of the self has been of increasing interest in recent neuroscience. Brain
imaging studies have raised the question of whether neural activity in cortical midline …

The neural basis of visual body perception
The human body, like the human face, is a rich source of socially relevant information about
other individuals. Evidence from studies of both humans and non-human primates points to …

The body in the brain revisited
Corporeal awareness is a difficult concept which refers to perception, knowledge and
evaluation of one's own body as well as of other bodies. We discuss here some …

The “sense of agency” and its underlying cognitive and neural mechanisms
The sense of agency is a central aspect of human self-consciousness and refers to the
experience of oneself as the agent of one's own actions. Several different cognitive theories …

Inhibition of imitative behaviour and social cognition
There is converging evidence that the observation of an action activates a corresponding
motor representation in the observer through a 'mirror-matching'mechanism. However …

Different brain structures related to self-and external-agency attribution: a brief review and meta-analysis
Several neuroimaging studies have consistently shown activations of areas surrounding the
temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) during tasks exploring the sense of agency. Beyond TPJ …

From action intentions to action effects: how does the sense of agency come about?
Sense of agency refers to the feeling of controlling an external event through one's own
action. On one influential view, agency depends on how predictable the consequences of …

The impact of aesthetic evaluation and physical ability on dance perception
The field of neuroaesthetics attracts attention from neuroscientists and artists interested in
the neural underpinnings of esthetic experience. Though less studied than the …

Decoding the neural mechanisms of human tool use
Sophisticated tool use is a defining characteristic of the primate species but how is it
supported by the brain, particularly the human brain? Here we show, using functional MRI …
