Peripersonal Space: An Index of Multisensory Body–Environment Interactions in Real, Virtual, and Mixed Realities

The Body Schema And The Multisensory Representations Of Peripersonal Space

Others have shown that the body schema plays a role in explicit and implicit distance The space near the body and within reach (peripersonal space) is closely If a multisensory implicit body representation is mediating reaching distance.

Multisensory interactions in the depth plane in front and rear space: a review.

In this review, we evaluate the neurophysiological, neuropsychological, and psychophysical evidence relevant to the claim that multisensory information is processed differently depending on the region of space in which it happens to be presented. We discuss how the majority of studies of multisensory interactions in the depth plane that have been conducted to date have focused on visuotactile a...

Extending the Body to Virtual Tools Using a Robotic Surgical Interface: Evidence from the Crossmodal Congruency Task

The effects of real-world tool use on body or space representations are relatively well established in cognitive neuroscience. Several studies have shown, for example, that active tool use results in a facilitated integration of multisensory information in peripersonal space, i.e. the space directly surrounding the body. However, it remains unknown to what extent similar mechanisms apply to the...

Running head: Tools in peripersonal and extrapersonal space: Real vs. virtual line bisection Processing of peripersonal and extrapersonal space using tools: Evidence from visual line bisection in real and virtual environments

The dissociation between peripersonal (within reaching) and extrapersonal space (beyond reaching) has been reported using the line bisection task in left neglect patients and in healthy participants. Furthermore, this dissociation can be modulated by tool use. We conducted two experiments to compare line bisection in peripersonal (i.e., 30, 60 cm) and extrapersonal space (i.e., 90, 120 cm).
