The rubber hand illusion: sensitivity and reference frame for body ownership.

TL;DR: The visual-tactile correlation that causes the RHI is computed within a hand-centred frame of reference, which is updated with changes in body posture, and concludes that current sensory evidence about what is 'me' is interpreted with respect to a prior mental body representation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Just a heartbeat away from one's body: interoceptive sensitivity predicts malleability of body-representations

TL;DR: The results suggest that interoceptive sensitivity predicts the malleability of body representations, that is, people with low interoception sensitivity experienced a stronger illusion of ownership in the RHI, suggesting thatInteroceptive awareness modulates the online integration of multi-sensory body-percepts.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of the right temporo-parietal junction in maintaining a coherent sense of one's body

TL;DR: The role of right temporo-parietal junction (rTPJ) is studied in the processing of multisensory events that may or may not be attributed to one's body, suggesting that the rTPJ is actively involved in maintaining a coherent sense of one'sBody, distinct from external, non-corporeal, objects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bodily ownership and self-location: Components of bodily self-consciousness

TL;DR: A preliminary synthesis of the data on bodily self-consciousness and its neural correlates is provided, suggesting that at least two of these components-body ownership and self-location-are implemented in rather distinct neural substrates, located in the premotor cortex and in the temporo-parietal junction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Where does an object trigger an action? An investigation about affordances in space.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the power of an object to automatically trigger an action is strictly linked to the effective possibility that an individual has to interact with it.
