DOI: 10.1007/s00221-017-5115-0
Abstract: Neurophysiological investigations in non-human primates have shown that bi- and tri-modal fronto-parietal neurons exist that respond to touch on the body and visual (and/or auditory) stimuli near the body. The receptive fields of these neurons… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.eurpsy.2017.01.1561
Abstract: Introduction Peripersonal space has been defined as the area immediately surrounding the body in which interactions with a person or an object can occur. Larger peripersonal space may reflect discomfort in close interpersonal situation or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2018.04.047
Abstract: OBJECTIVE In healthy subjects, magnitude of hand-evoked blink reflex (BR) is increased if the stimulated hand is positioned in the peripersonal space. Here, we aimed to investigate the modulation of hand-evoked BR in peripersonal space… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2020.107579
Abstract: The space surrounding our body, defined as peripersonal space (PPS), is dynamically shaped by our motor experiences. For instance, PPS extends after using a tool to reach far objects. Several studies have demonstrated how PPS… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-17896-9
Abstract: Our daily-life actions are typically driven by vision. When acting upon an object, we need to represent its visual features (e.g. shape, orientation, etc.) and to map them into our own peripersonal space. But what… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-45084-4
Abstract: Peripersonal space immediately surrounds the body and can be represented in the brain as a multisensory and sensorimotor interface mediating physical and social interactions between body and environment. Very little consideration has been given to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-90784-5
Abstract: Peripersonal space (PPS) is important for humans to perform body–environment interactions. However, many previous studies only focused on the specific direction of the PPS, such as the front space, despite suggesting that there were PPSs… read more here.
