TL;DR: A preliminary synthesis of the data on bodily self-consciousness and its neural correlates is provided, suggesting that at least two of these components-body ownership and self-location-are implemented in rather distinct neural substrates, located in the premotor cortex and in the temporo-parietal junction.

TL;DR: A shoe-based prototype senses a person's footsteps and alters in real-time the frequency spectra of the sound they produce while walking that leads to the perception of having a thinner body and enhances the motivation for physical activity inducing a more dynamic swing and a shorter heel strike.

TL;DR: The results suggest that self-observation may represent a viable way of manipulating individuals' interoceptive sensitivity, in order to directly test causal relations between interoception sensitivity and exteroceptive self-processing.

TL;DR: The results support the view that interoceptive predictive coding models are used to monitor and assign the sources of sensory input either to the self or to others, as well as support the hypothesis of the insular cortex as a convergence zone in the processing and global representation of the material self given its involvement in bothinteroceptive feelings, multisensory integration, and self-processing.

TL;DR: Synchronous IMS produces quantifiable changes in the mental representations of one’s face, as measured behaviorally, which are broadly consistent with patterns observed in other bodily illusions, but less robust.
