Accurate information about body structure and posture is fundamental for effective control of our actions. It is often assumed that healthy adults have accurate representations of their body. Although people’s abilities to visually recognize their own body size and shape are relatively good, the implicit spatial representation of their body is extremely distorted when measured in proprioceptive localization tasks. The aim of this thesis is to understand the nature of spatial distortions of the body model measured in those localization tasks. We especially investigate the perceptual-cognitive components contributing to distortions of implicit representation of the human hand and compare those distortions with the one found on objects in similar tasks.
Table of contents:
The role of place sense in the sense of place
A basic body representation for position sense
Measure body model
The relationship between body model and somatosensory distortion
The separation between body image and body modeling
Overview of the thesis: Purpose and structure of the thesis
Compare the deformation of hands and objects
Comparing implicit versus explicit judgments about an item’s shape index
Chapter organization
Chapter 1: Subjects exhibit body model-like shape distortions
Chapter 2: The role of visual similarity and memory in body model distortion
Chapter 3: Conceptual bias explains hand-object distortion differences in task localization
General discussion
What drives hand and object distortions in positioning tasks?
Distortion of body sensations
General mechanism in hand deformity
Same deformity, different causes
A multimodal version of the body model that mediates position sense
