A longitudinal study of interoception changes in the times of COVID-19: Effects on psychophysiological health and well-being

Background: Interoception - the processing of the internal state of the body - has been consistently tied to well-being and mental health, which in turn have been severely challenged by…
Cognitive and affective impairments in processing body image have been observed in patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and may induce the hypercontrolled and regulative behaviors observed in this disorder. Here,…
Abstract domains of knowledge may have social origins. However, whether abstract concepts (ACs) may also differentially affect communicative interaction and conversation has not been explored. Here, we studied ACs’ communicative…

The space surrounding the body [i.e. peripersonal space (PPS)] has a crucial impact on individuals' interactions with the environment. Research showed that the interaction within the PPS increases individuals' behavioral…
Detecting errors in your own and others’ actions is associated with discrepancies between intended and expected outcomes. The processing of salient events is associated with dopamine release, the balance of…
The conscious processing of body signals influences higher-order psychological and cognitive functions, including self-awareness. Dysfunctions in the processing of these signals has been connected to neurological and psychiatric disorders characterized…

Digital games for learning basic arithmetic at home

Many early learners need individualized support when regular teaching is not readily available. Here we present results of a progressive digital game that was played at home rather than under…

Early categorization of social affordances during the visual encoding of bodily stimuli

Interpersonal interactions rely on various communication channels, both verbal and non-verbal, through which information regarding one's intentions and emotions are perceived. Here, we investigated the neural correlates underlying the visual…
Recent evidence suggests that social contact is a basic need governed by a social homeostatic system. Little is known, however, about how conditions of altered social homeostasis affect human psychology…

Illusory hand movements in the absence of asomatognosia, spatial neglect and anosognosia for hemiplegia

Illusory limb movements (ILMs) represent a form of confabulation, namely, an erroneous statement that a person makes with apparent conviction and without the intention to deceive (Gershwind, 1965; Joseph, 1986).…
Aging is commonly associated with a decline in motor control and neural plasticity. Tuning cortico-cortical interactions between premotor and motor areas is essential for controlling fine manual movements. However, whether…

Ownership of the affected leg is further reduced following deceptive behaviors in body integrity dysphoria

Although predicted by the notion of embodied morality, it remains unknown whether a reduced sense of body ownership (SoO) is associated with increased or decreased dishonesty. To clarify this issue,…

Physical and psychological proximity in humans: From the body to the mind and vice-versa

There is now a large consensus that mental processes are embodied phenomena (e.g., Clark, 1999; Barsalou, 2008; Adams, 2010; Shapiro, 2014; Da Rold, 2018; Zwaan, 2021; Ale et al., 2022).…

Sense of agency predicts severity of moral judgments

Sense of Agency (SoA) refers to the awareness of being the agent of our own actions. A key feature of SoA relies on the perceived temporal compression between our own…

The dopaminergic system supports flexible and rewarding dyadic motor interactive behaviour in Parkinson’s Disease

Studies indicate that the dopaminergic system (DAS) supports individual flexible behaviour. While flexibility is quintessential to effective dyadic motor interactions, whether DAS mediates adaptations of one's own motor behaviour to…

The path of dishonesty: identification of mental processes with electrical neuroimaging

Much research finds that lying takes longer than truth-telling. Yet, the source of this response time difference remains elusive. Here, we assessed the spatiotemporal evolution of electrical brain activity during…
Although thermal body signals provide crucial information about the state of an organism, and changes in body temperature may be a sign of affective states (e.g., stress, pain, sexual arousal),…
Objectives Recent meta-analyses suggest that mindfulness meditation may enhance prosocial behavior, while evidence regarding moral behavior is still scarce. We combined a randomized controlled mindfulness training design with an ecologically…
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) methods such as cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (ccPAS) can increase the strength of functional connectivity between ventral premotor cortex (PMv) and primary motor cortex (M1) via…
