Have you ever wondered why you feel your body as a single entity, even though it is made up of many different parts? Or why you can only feel one body as your own, and not several at once? This fascinating mystery is at the heart of our groundbreaking research project. We are using advanced brain imaging techniques and novel illusion experiments to map out how the brain creates our sense of a coherent body experience. We are investigating how sensory information from different body parts, including the head, is integrated into a coherent whole. The project will give us new insights into how coherent body perception is created in the brain. In addition, the results may pave the way for a better understanding of psychiatric conditions where self-perception is disturbed, such as in schizophrenia. By revealing the brain mechanisms behind our bodily self-perception, this project opens the door to a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
