Authors: Gianna Cocchini, Michele Scandola, Valeria Gobbetto, Maria Cristina Cioffi, Angela Bartolo, James Moore, and Valentina Moro Objectives Anosognosic patients show a lack of awareness for their hemiplegia coupled with a distorted sense of agency for the actions performed by…
Authors: Scandola M, Aglioti SM, Avesani R, Bertagnoni G, Marangoni A, Moro V. Abstract Embodied Cognition Theories (ECT) postulate that higher-order cognition is heavily influenced by sensorimotor signals. We explored the active role of somatosensory afferents and motor efferents in modulating the perception of actions…
Authors: Scandola M, Dodoni L, Lazzeri G, Arcangeli CA, Avesani R, Moro V, Ionta S. Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) interrupts the brain-body input-output exchange and modifies the mental representation of disconnected body parts, with decreased reliance on sensorimotor aspects of body representation and increased weighting…
