Sensorimotor network crucial for inferring amusement from smiles (2016)
Journal Article
Paracampo, R., Tidoni, E., Borgomaneri, S., di Pellegrino, G., & Avenanti, A. (2017). Sensorimotor network crucial for inferring amusement from smiles. Cerebral Cortex, 27(11), 5116-5129. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhw294

Understanding whether another's smile reflects authentic amusement is a key challenge in social life, yet, the neural bases of this ability have been largely unexplored. Here, we combined transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with a novel empathic... Read More about Sensorimotor network crucial for inferring amusement from smiles.

Illusion of arm movement evoked by tendon vibration in patients with spinal cord injury (2016)
Journal Article
Fusco, G., Tidoni, E., Barone, N., Pilati, C., & Aglioti, S. M. (2016). Illusion of arm movement evoked by tendon vibration in patients with spinal cord injury. Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience, 34(5), 815-826. https://doi.org/10.3233/rnn-160660

Background: Studies in healthy people show that stimulation of muscle spindles through frequency-specific tendon vibration (TV) induces the illusory perception of movement. Following spinal cord injury (SCI), motor and sensory connections between the... Read More about Illusion of arm movement evoked by tendon vibration in patients with spinal cord injury.

Apparent biological motion in first and third person perspective (2016)
Journal Article
Tidoni, E., Scandola, M., Orvalho, V., & Candidi, M. (2016). Apparent biological motion in first and third person perspective. i-Perception, 7(5), 204166951666915. https://doi.org/10.1177/2041669516669156

Apparent biological motion is the perception of plausible movements when two alternating images depicting the initial and final phase of an action are presented at specific stimulus onset asynchronies. Here, we show lower subjective apparent biologic... Read More about Apparent biological motion in first and third person perspective.

The role of audio-visual feedback in a thought-based control of a humanoid robot: a BCI study in healthy and spinal cord injured people (2016)
Journal Article
Tidoni, E., Gergondet, P., Fusco, G., Kheddar, A., & Aglioti, S. M. (2017). The role of audio-visual feedback in a thought-based control of a humanoid robot: a BCI study in healthy and spinal cord injured people. IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 25(6), 772-781. https://doi.org/10.1109/tnsre.2016.2597863

© 2016 IEEE. The efficient control of our body and successful interaction with the environment are possible through the integration of multisensory information. Brain-computer interface (BCI) may allow people with sensorimotor disorders to actively i...

Embodying others in immersive virtual reality: Electro-cortical signatures of monitoring the errors in the actions of an avatar seen from a first-person perspective (2016)
Journal Article
Pavone, E. F., Tieri, G., Rizza, G., Tidoni, E., Grisoni, L., & Aglioti, S. M. (2016). Embodying others in immersive virtual reality: Electro-cortical signatures of monitoring the errors in the actions of an avatar seen from a first-person perspective. Journal of Neuroscience, 36(2), 268-279. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.0494-15.2016

Brain monitoring of errors in one's own and other's actions is crucial for a variety of processes, ranging from the fine-tuning of motor skill learning to important social functions, such as reading out and anticipating the intentions of others. Here... Read More about Embodying others in immersive virtual reality: Electro-cortical signatures of monitoring the errors in the actions of an avatar seen from a first-person perspective.

Body visual discontinuity affects feeling of ownership and skin conductance responses (2015)
Journal Article
Tieri, G., Tidoni, E., Pavone, E. F., & Aglioti, S. M. (2015). Body visual discontinuity affects feeling of ownership and skin conductance responses. Scientific reports, 5(1), Article 17139. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep17139

When we look at our hands we are immediately aware that they belong to us and we rarely doubt about the integrity, continuity and sense of ownership of our bodies. Here we explored whether the mere manipulation of the visual appearance of a virtual l... Read More about Body visual discontinuity affects feeling of ownership and skin conductance responses.

Re-establishing the disrupted sensorimotor loop in deafferented and deefferented people: The case of spinal cord injuries (2015)
Journal Article
Tidoni, E., Tieri, G., & Aglioti, S. M. (2015). Re-establishing the disrupted sensorimotor loop in deafferented and deefferented people: The case of spinal cord injuries. Neuropsychologia, 79(B), 301-309. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2015.06.029

Acting efficiently in the world depends on the activity of motor and somatosensory systems, the integration of which is necessary for the proper functioning of the sensorimotor loop (SL). Profound alterations of SL functioning follow spinal cord inju...

Mere observation of body discontinuity affects perceived ownership and vicarious agency over a virtual hand (2015)
Journal Article
Tieri, G., Tidoni, E., Pavone, E. F., & Aglioti, S. M. (2015). Mere observation of body discontinuity affects perceived ownership and vicarious agency over a virtual hand. Experimental Brain Research, 233(4), 1247-1259. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-015-4202-3

The mental representation of one’s body typically implies the continuity of its parts. Here, we used immersive virtual reality to explore whether mere observation of visual discontinuity between the hand and limb of an avatar could influence a person...

Rubber hand illusion highlights massive visual capture and sensorimotor face-hand remapping in a tetraplegic man (2014)
Journal Article

Purpose: The illusory ownership of a fake hand as part the body follows synchronous tactile stimulation over a visible rubber hand and a covered hand. Whether brain plasticity mechanisms after sensory and motor disconnection modulates this illusion r...
