In recent years, researchers in cognitive enhancement and rehabilitation have increasingly focused on neurostimulation techniques, aiming to develop effective methods that are minimally invasive and associated with few side effects. In this context, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has gained growing attention for its potential benefits on cognitive functions in both...

A growing body of...

Aging presents major challenges for individuals and societies, driving research into pharmacological and non-pharmacological intervention therapies. Cognitive interventions show promising effectiveness, although high variability in research protocols limits the generalizability of results.

Peripersonal space (PPS) refers to the space immediately surrounding the body and plays a crucial role in motor interaction and defensive behavior. Furthermore, PPS has been linked to the bodily self and shown to be highly plastic: its boundaries can be modulated physically (e.g., spinal cord injury, amputation, tool use), perceptually (e.g., mindfulness, interoception, sensory deprivation)...
