Visual distortion of body size modulates pain perception.
Pain is a complex subjective experience that is shaped by numerous contextual factors. For example, simply viewing the body reduces the reported intensity of acute physical pain. In this study, we investigated whether this visually induced analgesia is modulated by the visual size of the stimulated body part. We measured contact heat-pain thresholds while participants viewed either their own ha...
متن کاملFactors associated with the modulation of pain by visual distortion of body size
Modulation of pain using visual distortion of body size (VDBS) has been the subject of various reports. However, the mechanism underlying the effect of VDBS on pain has been less often studied. In the present study, factors associated with modulation of pain threshold by VDBS were investigated. Visual feedback in the form of a magnified image of the hand was provided to 44 healthy adults to exa...
متن کاملDistortion of size perception in visuospatial neglect
BACKGROUND A number of studies have shown that most patients with symptoms of unilateral (left-sided) visuospatial neglect make consistently rightward errors when attempting to bisect a horizontal line at its midpoint. One possible interpretation of this impairment is that such patients misperceive the left half of the line: that is, that they underestimate its extent relative to the right half...
متن کاملBody posture modulates action perception.
Recent studies have highlighted cognitive and neural similarities between planning and perceiving actions. Given that action planning involves a simulation of potential action plans that depends on the actor's body posture, we reasoned that perceiving actions may also be influenced by one's body posture. Here, we test whether and how this influence occurs by measuring behavioral and cerebral (f...
متن کاملVisual distortion of a limb modulates the pain and swelling evoked by movement
the activity-dependent regulation of dendritic voltage-activated ion channels [9]. Activity-dependent plasticity of dendritic synaptic integration must therefore be considered to contribute to information storage in the brain. It is now clear that dendritic spikes are generated in many regions of the dendritic tree of single neurons. The challenge for the future is to dissect the role played by...
