Perceptual symbol systems.

TL;DR: A perceptual theory of knowledge can implement a fully functional conceptual system while avoiding problems associated with amodal symbol systems and implications for cognition, neuroscience, evolution, development, and artificial intelligence are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Biopsychosocial Approach to Chronic Pain: Scientific Advances and Future Directions

TL;DR: A review of the basic neuroscience processes of pain (the bio part of biopsychosocial, as well as the psychosocial factors, is presented) and on the development of new technologies, such as brain imaging, that provide new insights into brain-pain mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Proprioceptive Senses: Their Roles in Signaling Body Shape, Body Position and Movement, and Muscle Force

TL;DR: Proprioceptive senses, particularly of limb position and movement, deteriorate with age and are associated with an increased risk of falls in the elderly and the more recent information available on proprioception has given a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying these senses.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Rubber Hand Illusion Revisited: Visuotactile Integration and Self-Attribution.

TL;DR: The results suggest that at the level of the process underlying the build up of the RHI, bottom-up processes of visuotactile correlation drive the illusion as a necessary, but not sufficient, condition.

How the Body Shapes the Way We Think: A New View of Intelligence

TL;DR: In How the Body Shapes the Way The authors Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independent of the body but is tightly constrained, and at the same time enabled, by it.

Modality and topographic properties of single neurons of cat's somatic sensory cortex.

TL;DR: Observations upon the modality and topographical attributes of single neurons of the first somatic sensory area of the cat’s cerebral cortex, the analogue of the cortex of the postcentral gyrus in the primate brain, support an hypothesis of the functional organization of this cortical area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural Substrates for the Effects of Rehabilitative Training on Motor Recovery After Ischemic Infarct

TL;DR: The results suggest that, after local damage to the motor cortex, rehabilitative training can shape subsequent reorganization in the adjacent intact cortex, and that the undamaged motor cortex may play an important role in motor recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phantom-limb pain as a perceptual correlate of cortical reorganization following arm amputation

TL;DR: A very strong direct relationship is reported between the amount of cortical reorganization and the magnitude of phantom limb pain (but not non-painful phantom phenomena) experienced after arm amputation, indicating that phantom-limb pain is related to, and may be a consequence of, plastic changes in primary somatosensory cortex.
