“…Our data further revealed a positive correlation between perceptual effects in the hypnotic suggestion and Lackner illusion conditions, as we observed in another experiment [ 79 ]. This might reflect a sensitivity to alterations of bodily experiences towards bottom-up and top-down influences.…”

“…Insofar as non-hypnotic direct verbal suggestibility is a reliable correlate of hypnotic suggestibility [ 96 , 97 ], we expect that the present results would generalize to applications involving direct verbal suggestions without a formal induction procedure (as suggested by ref. [ 79 ]). Secondly, we did not measure participants’ expectancies for finger elongation.…”

“…More broadly, beyond the setting of this experiment, the suggested prior could be supported by imagery and selective attention to seemingly confirming evidence while downplaying disconfirming evidence, though the relationship of these variable with response to suggestion is probably complex and controversial (on imagery e.g., ref. [79,86]; on attention e.g., ref. [87][88][89][90]).…”

Bodily awareness arises from somatosensory, vestibular, and visual inputs but cannot be reduced to these incoming sensory signals. Cognitive factors are known to also impact bodily awareness, though their specific influence is poorly understood. Here we systematically compared the effects of sensory (bottom-up) and cognitive (top-down) manipulations on the estimated size of body parts. Toward this end, in a repeated-measures design, we sought to induce the illusion that the right index finger was elongating by vibrating the biceps tendon of the left arm whilst participants grasped the tip of their right index finger (Lackner illusion; bottom-up) and separately by hypnotic suggestion (top-down), with a sham version of the Lackner illusion as an active control condition. The effects of these manipulations were assessed with perceptual and motor tasks to capture different components of the representation of body size. We found that hypnotic suggestion significantly induced the illusion in both tasks relative to the sham condition. The magnitudes of these effects were stronger than those in the Lackner illusion condition, which only produced a significantly stronger illusion than the sham condition in the perceptual task. We further observed that illusion magnitude significantly correlated across tasks and conditions, suggesting partly shared mechanisms. These results are in line with theories of separate but interacting representational processes for perception and action and highlight the influence of cognitive factors on low-level body representations.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between elite athletes' imagery abilities and their body awareness, plank stance duration, psychological and social skills. Material and Methods: The study included 53 healthy elite athletes (female:32, male:21). The imagery abilities of the athletes were evaluated using the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3. A Body Awareness Questionnaire was used for body awareness assessment. Plank stance duration, psychological and social skill levels were evaluated using Sport Specific Core Muscle Strength and Stability Plank Test, Athletic Psychological Skills Inventory and Social Skills Inventory, respectively. Results: External and kinesthetic imagery was found to correlate with body awareness (r=0.33, p=0.02; r=0.39, p
