Representing objects in space is difficult because sensorimotor events are anchored in different reference frames, which can be either eye-, arm-, or target-centered. In the brain, Gain-Field (GF) neurons in the parietal cortex are involved in computing the necessary spatial transformations for aligning the tactile, visual and proprioceptive signals. In reaching tasks, these GF neurons exploit a mechanism based on multiplicative interaction for binding simultaneously touched events from the hand with visual and proprioception information.

- Perceptual illusions, like the rubber-hand illusion, highlight the brain's ability to adapt its body image and distinguish between self and others.
- Research indicates that the brain requires a specific timing (200-300 ms) of sensory signals to effectively perceive these illusions.
- An experimental model using artificial neural networks simulates this by predicting the relationship between visual and tactile signals, showing how spiking neurons can explain the brain's integration of multisensory information related to self-perception.
