Research Project A01
A01-1 Neural mechanisms inducing plasticity on body representations
Research Outline
Our research project aims to find neural correlates of bodily self-consciousness, and neural mechanisms in which changes in bodily self-consciousness lead to changes in body representations in the brain. Based on these results, we will develop a method for intervention and manipulation of the bodily self-consciousness. In this fiscal year, we made significant advances in investigation of fast and slow dynamics in body representations, decoding bodily self-consciousness, and finding a cause of abnormality in bodily self-consciousness in schizophrenia. We also developed a new experimental paradigm for online electroencephalogram (EEG) measurement of bodily self-consciousness and for electroneurophysiological study on corollary discharge.
