Abstract:Current models of mental body representations (MBRs) indicate that tactile inputs feed several of them for different functions, implying that altering tactile inputs may affect MBRs differently. Here we tested this hypothesis by leveraging Repetitive Somatosensory Stimulation (RSS), known to improve tactile perception by modulating primary somatosensory cortex (SI) activity, and measured its effects over thebody image, thebody modeland thesuperficial schemain a randomized sham-controlled, double-blind cross-ov… Show more
