“…Previous brain imaging studies have reported that self-face recognition also involves the right-lateralized cortical network, which is not much the case for recognition of other faces. [34][35][36] However, the activation in this right-lateralized cortical network for self-face recognition was not observed in ASD individuals. 37 Given these facts, people particularly give attention to their own face and undergo special information processing related to self-recognition, but people with low social communication skills may not have such a clear separation in recognizing one's own face and another individual's face.…”

Young women posting their edited face photographs on social networking sites have become a popular phenomenon, but an excessively retouched face image sometimes gives a strange impression to its viewers. This study investigates what personal characteristics facilitate a bias toward an excessively edited face image. Thirty young Asian women evaluated the attractiveness and naturalness of their face images, which were edited in eight different levels-from mild to excessive-by expanding their eyes and thinning their chin. The mildly retouched face was evaluated as more attractive than the original face, but the excessively retouched face was evaluated as unattractive and unnatural in comparison with the original face. The preferred face edit level was higher for one's own face than for others. Moreover, participants with higher autism-spectrum quotient (AQ) scores were found to regard excessively edited face images as more attractive. The attention to detail subscale of the AQ showed a significant positive correlation with the preferred face edit level. The imagination subscale, on the contrary, showed a significant negative correlation with the preferred face edit level. The pupil response for self-face images was significantly larger than those for others' face images, but this difference decreased with higher AQ scores. This study suggests that an increased attractiveness in their mildly retouched face promotes this behavior of retouching one's own face, but autistic traits, which are insensitive to the creepiness of the excessively retouched face, might pose a potential risk to inducing retouch dependence.

“…In our series of studies ( Naito et al 2016a ), we have consistently shown that, in the adult brain, proprioceptive (kinesthetic) processing of muscle spindle afferent inputs, which generate somatic sensation (kinesthetic illusion) of right-hand flexion, activates inferior frontoparietal cortical regions (especially cytoarchitectonic areas 44, PFt, PF, and PFm) in a right-side dominant manner, in addition to the cerebrocerebellar motor network. These frontoparietal regions are likely connected by the inferior branch of the superior longitudinal fasciculus tract (SLF III) ( Amemiya and Naito 2016 ; Morita et al 2017 ). Unlike the cerebrocerebellar motor network, the exact roles of the right inferior frontoparietal cortical regions during proprioceptive illusion are not well known, although neuroimaging findings show high consistency with motor and bodily awareness deficits following right-hemispheric damage ( Berlucchi and Aglioti 1997 ; Berti et al 2005 ; Moro et al 2016 ).…”

Development of Right-hemispheric Dominance of Inferior Parietal Lobule in Proprioceptive Illusion Task

Functional lateralization can be an indicator of brain maturation. We have consistently shown that, in the adult brain, proprioceptive processing of muscle spindle afferents generating illusory movement of the right hand activates inferior frontoparietal cortical regions in a right-side dominant manner in addition to the cerebrocerebellar motor network. Here we provide novel evidence regarding the development of the right-dominant use of the inferior frontoparietal cortical regions in humans using this task. We studied brain activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging while 60 right-handed blindfolded healthy children (8–11 years), adolescents (12–15 years), and young adults (18–23 years) (20 per group) experienced the illusion. Adult-like right-dominant use of the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) was observed in adolescents, while children used the IPL bilaterally. In contrast, adult-like lateralized cerebrocerebellar motor activation patterns were already observable in children. The right-side dominance progresses during adolescence along with the suppression of the left-sided IPL activity that emerges during childhood. Therefore, the neuronal processing implemented in the adult's right IPL during the proprioceptive illusion task is likely mediated bilaterally during childhood, and then becomes right-lateralized during adolescence at a substantially later time than the lateralized use of the cerebrocerebellar motor system for kinesthetic processing.

“…The view of a virtual body performing the postural manipulation is sufficient to induce an HBR modulation comparable to that found when the postural manipulation is performed by the participants. Indeed, converging evidence suggests that a virtual body may trigger the same “body representation” of the real one and shares common neural structures (Guterstam, Björnsdotter, Gentile, & Ehrsson, ; Morita et al, ; Naito, Ota, & Murata, ; Petkova et al, ). Critically, during this IVR experiment, the passive observation of the avatar's limb did not induce a strong feeling of ownership in the participants (i.e., in the ownership questionnaire, the difference between experimental and control questions did not reach the significant level).…”

Our research focused on the role of vision and proprioception in modulating a defensive reflex (hand blink reflex, HBR) whose magnitude is enhanced when the threatened hand is inside the peripersonal space of the face. We capitalized on virtual reality, which allows dissociating vision and proprioception by presenting a virtual limb in congruent/incongruent positions with respect to the participants' limb. In experiment 1, participants placed their own stimulated hand in far/near positions with respect to their face (postural manipulation task), while observing a virtual empty scenario. Vision was not informative, but the HBR was significantly enhanced in near compared with far position, suggesting that proprioception is sufficient for the HBR modulation to occur. In experiment 2, participants did not perform the postural manipulation but they (passively) observed the avatar's virtual limb performing it. Proprioceptive signals were not informative, but the HBR was significantly enhanced when the observed virtual limb was near to the face, suggesting that visual information plays a role in modulating the HBR. In experiment 3, both participants and avatar performed the postural manipulation, either congruently (both of them far/near) or incongruently (one of them far, the other near). The HBR modulation was present only in congruent conditions. In incongruent conditions, the conflict between vision and proprioception confounded the system, abolishing the difference between far and near positions. Taken together, these findings promote the view that observing a virtual limb modulates the HBR, providing also new evidence on the role of vision and proprioception in modulating this subcortical reflex.
