The sense of ownership and agency stem from proprioception, the sensory root of self-awareness. In a group of 46 right-brain-damaged patients, the disruption of a bilateral parietal network underlies proprioceptive deficits leading to ownership disorders and anosognosia for hemiplegia.

Proprioception as a sensory root for body and motor awareness

Salvato et al. report that proprioceptive deficits predict both disturbed sensation of ownership and anosognosia for hemiplegia following right-hemisphere

Just published some work at Scientific Reports! We investigated visual adaptation following free viewing of a film (Casablanca) that had its oriented contrast altered. To our surprise, we found adaptation effects to be pretty negligible… www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/10

Eye movements are cheap, right? Not necessarily! 💰 In our review just out in @natrevpsychol.nature.com, Alex Schütz and I discuss the different costs associated with making an eye movement, how these costs affect behaviour, and the challenges of measuring this… rdcu.be/eAm69 #visionscience #vision

Excited to share the first preprint from my postdoc, with @YingYu @huBoyaci @KatjaDoerschner Using dynamic line drawings, we show that contour motion alone can provide sufficient information for material perception. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Perceiving Material Qualities from Moving Contours

While research on the perception of line drawings has long demonstrated the importance of contours in object recognition, recent work shows that contours can also convey material properties. For examp...
