The perspective during gestural executions alters hemispherical specialization.

Introduction: The left hemisphere may be particularly specialized for gestures from an egocentric movement perspective, i.e., when executing tool-use pantomime (TUP) gestures.

Social-touch and self-touch differ in hemodynamic response in the prefrontal cortex - a fNIRS study conducted during the coronavirus pandemic.

Being touched by others (social-touch) and touching oneself (self-touch) are common nonverbal behaviors in everyday interaction. The commonalities and differences between these two types of touching behavior are of particular interest for conditions when social-touch is substantially restricted such as during the corona pandemic. Neuropsychologically, pleasant social-touch is associated with increased activation in frontal brain regions such as frontopolar, dorsolateral prefrontal (dlPFC), and orbitofrontal cortices (OFC).

and self-touch differ in hemodynamic response in the prefrontal cortex-An fNIRS study.

Introduction: Each individual touches the own body several 100 times a day. While some researchers propose a self-regulatory function of self-touch, others report that self-touching increases nervousness. This controversy appears to be caused by the fact that researchers did not define the kind of self-touch they examined and actually, referred to different types of self-touch.

Impact of Diversification on Movement Self-Perception and Movement Performance in University Sports Students.

: It has been acknowledged that accurate movement self-perception is a crucial prerequisite for reaching high levels of movement expertise in sports. The influence of distinct educational environments (specialization vs. diversification) on movement self-perception has thus far, however, mainly been tested in short-term investigations.
