The Role of Beta Oscillations in Mental Time Travel.

The brain processes short-interval timing but also allows people to project themselves into the past and the future (i.e., mental time travel [MTT]).

Time Interaction With Two Spatial Dimensions: From Left/Right to Near/Far.

In this study, we explored the time and space relationship according to two different spatial codings, namely, the left/right extension and the reachability of stimulus along a near/far dimension. Four experiments were carried out in which healthy participants performed the time and spatial bisection tasks in near/far space, before and after short or long tool-use training. Stimuli were prebisected horizontal lines of different temporal durations in which the midpoint was manipulated according to the Muller-Lyer illusion.

Embodying an invisible face shrinks the cone of gaze.

The possibility of being invisible has long fascinated people. Recent research showed that multisensory illusions can induce experiences of bodily invisibility, allowing the psychological consequences of invisibility to be explored. Here, we demonstrate an illusion of embodying an invisible face.

The illusion of having a tall or short body differently modulates interpersonal and peripersonal space.

The brain constructs a functional representation of the space around the body, the so called peripersonal space (PPS), which is a sensorimotor interface used to ensure suitable motor acts. However, this sector of space is also involved in social interactions. Individuals indeed, maintain an interpersonal space (IPS) indicating how close they prefer to stand relative to others.

The sense of agency shapes body schema and peripersonal space.

Body schema, a sensorimotor representation of the body used for planning and executing movements, is plastic because it extends by using a tool to reach far objects. Modifications of peripersonal space, i.e.

Invisible body illusion modulates interpersonal space.

Interpersonal space (e.g., IPS) refers to the physical distance individuals maintain from others during social interactions, and into which intrusion by others can cause discomfort.
