Illusory ownership of a virtual child body causes overestimation of object sizes and implicit attitude changes (2013, methodology): “The IAT followed the standard IAT procedure (4).”
Building long-term empathy: A large-scale comparison of traditional and virtual reality perspective-taking (2018, background): “188 Furthermore, past research has shown that the gathering of more perceptual information results 189 in a more accurate mental representation of the physical environment [47].”
Enhancing Our Lives with Immersive Virtual Reality (2016, background): “Recent reviews are provided in Blanke (2012); Ehrsson (2012); and Blanke et al.”
Neuroscience of Virtual Reality: From Virtual Exposure to Embodied Medicine (2019, background): “However, the body is not simply an object like any other; it has a special status.(93,147,148) It is perceived in a multisensory way, from the outside (exteroception, the body perceived through the senses) as well as from within (inner body, including interoception, the sense of the physiological co”
Drumming in Immersive Virtual Reality: The Body Shapes the Way We Play (2013, background): “Immersive virtual reality (IVR) often aims to transport people to a virtual place where they experience events and take part in activities.”
The building blocks of the full body ownership illusion (2013, background): “This illusion is particularly interesting for the study of self-consciousness as it relies on an altered representation of the entire body (Blanke and Metzinger, 2009; Blanke, 2012) and, as such, it is complementary to the “rubber hand illusion” (RHI) paradigm in the study of body perception.”
The role of interaction in virtual embodiment: Effects of the virtual hand representation (2016, background): “Although one might argue that the response is related to the surprise effect, neuroscience studies proved that the reaction induced by the threatening of the rubber hand (which is to retract one’s own hand in the vast majority of cases) is not only a pure reflex, but also that there is a cortical an”
Transforming Experience: The Potential of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality for Enhancing Personal and Clinical Change (2016, background): “Second, the above studies support also the idea that body representations play a central role in structuring cognition and the self (124, 130–132).”
Understanding the neural bases of bodily self-consciousness: recent achievements and main challenges (2023, methodology): “…aspect of the mind: in addition to BSC (the bodily self), which is mostly pre-reflective and relies on multisensory and motor mechanisms (Blanke, 2012), higher-levels forms of self, sometimes referred to as “cognitive self ” (or “narrative self ”), are more reflective and involve a…”
Neural bases of the bodily self as revealed by electrical brain stimulation: A systematic review (2023, background): “…networks related to the sense of self in functional neuroimaging in healthy participants or in brain lesion studies (Berlucchi & Aglioti, 2010; Blanke, 2012; Blanke & Metzinger, 2009; Lenggenhager & Lopez, 2015; Park & Blanke, 2019; Serino et al., 2013; Seth, 2013; Tsakiris, 2010; Vogeley &…”
