Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Konstantina Kilteni"
- Konstantina Kilteni's research primarily investigates the mechanisms of somatosensory attenuation—the phenomenon where self-generated stimuli, such as touch, are perceived as less intense than identical stimuli generated externally, exploring the brain's predictive models in sensory perception across various contexts.
- Recent findings suggest that somatosensory attenuation is a nuanced process influenced by factors such as action timing, aging, and psychological factors like schizotypy, revealing that the relationship between perceived intensity and action is more complex than previous theories implied.
- Kilteni's studies highlight the delicate interplay between sensory predictions, action-related sensory expectations, and their neural correlates, proposing new models that challenge traditional views on how self-generated and externally generated touches are processed in the brain.
