| summary | The space immediately surrounding the body, i.e., peripersonal space (PPS), is represented by multisensory neural mechanisms integrating somatosensory, auditory and visual stimuli, presented on or close to the body. I will show that these systems in humans are implemented in a (multi)sensory-motor network of brain areas involving the premotor and posterior-parietal cortices. I will show that PPS representation is plastic, as its boundaries adapt as a function of experience (such as after tool-use) or changes in structure and function of the psychical body (such as amputation, prosthesis implantation and immobilization). Finally, I will demonstrate that PPS boundaries are sensitive to the presence of and interaction with others. |
