Toward a Unified Social Motor Cognition Theory of Understanding Mirror-Touch Synaesthesia
Mirror-touch synaesthesia (MTS) is a conscious tactile sensation in the observer when watching somebody else being touched. Two disparate theories have been suggested to explain MTS. The threshold theory links MTS to hyper-activity in the parietal-frontal mirror neuron system, while the self-other theory attributes MTS to impaired self-other representations in temporalparietal junction (TPJ) an...
متن کاملA Task Control Theory of Mirror - Touch Synaesthesia
Ward and Banissy’s illuminating discussion of mirror-touch synaesthesia (MTS) encourages research testing two alternatives to Threshold Theory: their own Self-Other Theory, and ‘Task Control Theory’. MTS may be due to abnormal mirror activity plus a domain-general, rather than a specifically social, impairment in the ability to privilege processing of task-relevant over taskirrelevant informati...
متن کاملMirror-touch synaesthesia: Difficulties inhibiting the other.
Individuals with mirror touch synaesthesia (MTS) experience touch on their own body when observing others being touched. A recent account proposes that such rare experiences could be linked to impairment in self-other representations. Here we tested participants with MTS on a battery of social cognition tests and found that compared to non-synaesthete controls, the MTS group showed impairment i...
متن کاملMirror-touch synaesthesia changes representations of self-identity
Individuals with mirror-touch synaesthesia (MTS) experience touch on their own bodies when observing another person being touched. Whilst somatosensory processing in MTS has been extensively investigated, the extent to which the remapping of observed touch on the synaesthete's body can also lead to changes in the mental representation of the self remains unknown. We adapted the experimental par...
متن کاملInduction of mirror-touch synaesthesia by increasing somatosensory cortical excitability
Figure 1. Induction of mirror-touch synaesthesia by transcranial electrical stimulation. (A) An incongruent visuo-tactile (VT) trial of the Hand task. The task (~6 min) was to report the site of the actual touch on the hand, while ignoring the viewed touch at the same (Congruent VT) or opposite location (Incongruent VT). In counterbalanced sessions, anodal or sham tDCS (1.5 mA, ~16 min) to S1 o...
