470. Exploring the role of interoceptive and exteroceptive signals in shaping corporeal awareness in women

Chiara Cantoni (Università di Roma "La Sapienza")

9/23/24, 9:00 AM

Corporeal awareness, namely the consciousness of one’s body and sensations, is influenced by internal and external cues that interplay to create a coherent self-representation. Specifically, interoceptive signals (physiological internal signals), are crucial in shaping our perception of the body and processing specific sensations, such as pain. Part One of this thesis explores the influence of...

471. Space, time and motion in a multisensory world

Giorgia Bertonati (Università di Genova)

9/23/24, 9:18 AM

The present doctoral thesis aims at investigating how humans represent space, time, and motion through auditory and visual sensory modalities. It has been demonstrated that hearing prevails in representing the time domain and vision in representing the space domain. Given this strong link between sensory modality and domain of representation, one objective of this thesis is to deepen the...

472. A Bridge Between Body and Environment in Egocentric-Allocentric Switching Processes: Evidence from Behavioural and Neuroimaging Studies

Renato Orti (Università degli Studi della Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”)

9/23/24, 9:36 AM

Quando mangiamo, ci rappresentiamo la posizione delle posate rispetto a noi (soggetto-oggetto) o rispetto al piatto (oggetto-oggetto). In generale, codifichiamo le posizioni degli oggetti utilizzando un sistema di riferimento egocentrico o allocentrico. Frequentemente però, per raggiungere uno scopo, dobbiamo utilizzare entrambe le rappresentazioni: passiamo quindi da una rappresentazione...

474. Assessment in Health Psychology: Development, Validation and Applications of Self-Report Tools for Patients and Caregivers

Anna Panzeri (Dipartimento di Psicologia Generale, Università degli Studi di Padova, Italia)

9/23/24, 9:54 AM

Measurement is fundamental to accurately investigate constructs in psychological science, influencing the estimation of effects, the validity of study results, and ultimately replicability. Illness has a dramatic psychological impact on patients and (informal) caregivers, often termed “hidden patients”.
However, crucial constructs like uncertainty in illness (UI) and caregiver burden were...

473. Induction of Hebbian associative plasticity through paired noninvasive brain stimulation of premotor-motor areas to elucidate the network's functional role

Sonia Turrini (Università di Bologna)

9/23/24, 10:12 AM

The introduction of the TMS cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (ccPAS) technique has spurred a paradigm shift in the study of brain connectivity: ccPAS targets cortical pathways, repeatedly stimulating nodes to transiently enhance/hinder their coupling, exploiting Hebbian spike-timing dependent plasticity. This allows manipulation of cortical networks, to study their physiological...
