Spatial hemineglect in humans. (2001, background): “Furthermore, these space maps are probably dynamically calibrated, for instance by tool use (Berti and Frassinetti, 2000), so that far space may be remapped into near space when we reach targets with a stick in far space.”
Brain-Machine Interfaces: From Basic Science to Neuroprostheses and Neurorehabilitation. (2017, background): “In general, BMI control of an artificial actuator has much in common with the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in learning to use and become proficient in tool handling, operations known to evoke brain plasticity (67, 195, 378, 524, 525).”
Beads for a Plastic Mind: the ‘Blind Man's Stick’ (BMS) Hypothesis and the Active Nature of Material Culture (2008, background): “…the shell bead extends ‘peripersonal space’ — i.e. the brain’s representation of the body and of the space surrounding the body (Holmes & Spence 2006; Holmes et al. 2004, 62; Holmes & Spence 2004; Maravita & Iriki 2004; Maravita et al. 2001; Maravita et al. 2002; Berti & Frassinetti 2000).”
The body schema and the multisensory representation(s) of peripersonal space (2004, background): “Berti and Frassinetti (2000) extended this line of research by asking a patient (P.P.) with severe left visuospatial neglect to bisect lines in near (50 cm from her body) and in far (100 cm) space.”
Embodied simulation: From neurons to phenomenal experience (2005, methodology): “A similar dissociation was reported by Berti and Frassinetti (2000).”
The "Conscious" Dorsal Stream: Embodied Simulation and its Role in Space and Action Conscious Awareness (2007, methodology): “A similar dissociation was reported by Berti and Frassinetti (2000).”
When the Classroom Floor Becomes the Complex Plane: Addition and Multiplication as Ways of Bodily Navigation (2012, background): “This is important because perceptuo-motor activity differentiates among these spaces ( Berti & Frassinetti, 2000 ).”
The rubber hand illusion revisited: visuotactile integration and self-attribution. (2005, methodology): “What is the mechanism underlying the self-attribution of the rubber hand to one’s own body? Botvinick and Cohen (1998) suggested that intermodal matching is a sufficient condition for “self-attribution” of the rubber hand to one’s own self.”
