Towards understanding the design of playful bodily extensions via body schema and body image

A conceptual framework on body representations and their relevance for mental disorders

Many mental disorders are accompanied by distortions in the way the own body is perceived and represented (e.g., eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder including muscle dysmorphia, or body…

An Overview of the Body Schema and Body Image: Theoretical Models, Methodological Settings and Pitfalls for Rehabilitation of Persons with Neurological Disorders

This narrative review placed the focus on evidence from the application of innovative rehabilitation techniques and case reports involving the upper limbs, as body parts particularly involved in finalistic voluntary actions in everyday life, discussing body representations and their functional role.

Visuo-proprioceptive recalibration and the sensorimotor map

Examination of target-directed reaching before and after participants either did (Mismatch group) or did not (Veridical group) experience a cue conflict known to elicit recalibration in perceived hand position suggests multiple, interacting body representations.

A testleképeződés integratív modellje

Jol ismert, hogy a testunkről kialakitott belső modell szamos forrasbol taplalkozo osszetett reprezentacio. A bemutatasra kerulő Integrativ Testlekepeződes Modell (ITM) ezt a komplex lekepeződest…

Too Fat to Fit through the Door: First Evidence for Disturbed Body-Scaled Action in Anorexia Nervosa during Locomotion

Body representation disturbances in Anorexia Nervosa are thus more pervasive than previously assumed: They do not only affect (conscious) cognition and perception, but (unconscious) actions as well.

Aberrant somatosensory perception in Anorexia Nervosa

Body dissatisfaction is improved but the ideal silhouette is unchanged during weight recovery in anorexia nervosa female inpatients

Patients’ weight gain following treatment was significant and weight regain was accompanied by significant reductions in both body distortion and body dissatisfaction, complemented by improved scores for both EDI Drive for Thinness and Body Dissatisfaction.

Plasticité du Schéma Corporel suite à l'utilisation d'outil

This thesis suggests that a clearer definition and operational description of the Body Schema, as an action-devoted repertoire of effectors representations, is possible, particularly thanks to its plastic features.

Multiple representations contribute to body knowledge processing. Evidence from a case of autotopagnosia.

It is argued that some form of body-reference system can be available in autotopagnosia and is independent from the visuospatial representations of the body structure that are postulated to be damaged or inaccessible in this syndrome.

BODY SCHEMA AND BODY IMAGE-A DOUBLE DISSOCIATION IN DEAFFERENTED PATIENTS

INTRODUCTION The concept and term of "Body Image" (l'image de soi, Lhermitte, 1937) has frequently been used interchangeably in neurological and psychological studies with that of "Body Schema"…

A double dissociation between somatosensory processing for perception and action

Somatosensory processes subserving perception and action

It is suggested that, analogously to the organisation of the visual system, somatosensory processing for the guidance of action can be dissociated from the processing that leads to perception and memory.

The Role of the Dynamic Body Schema in Praxis: Evidence from Primary Progressive Apraxia

A model of a dynamic, interactive praxis system subserved by posterior parietal cortex in which stored representational elements, when present, provide "top-down" support to spatiomotor procedures computed on-line is proposed.

A Mosquito Bite Against the Enactive Approach to Bodily Experiences

The enactive approach aims at providing a unified account of perceptual experiences in terms of bodily activities. Most enactive arguments come from the analysis of visual experiences (Noe, 2004),…
