Noninformative vision improves the spatial resolution of touch in humansS Kennett
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Department of Psychology, University College London, 17, Queen Square, London, WC1N 3AR, United Kingdom
Curr Biol 11:1188-91. 2001
..Controls confirmed that no information about the tactile stimulation was provided by visibility of the arm. This visual enhancement of touch may point to online reorganization of tactile receptive fields...
Visuo-tactile links in covert exogenous spatial attention remap across changes in unseen hand postureSteffan Kennett
University of London, and Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, London, England
Percept Psychophys 64:1083-94. 2002
..These results demonstrate cross-modal links between vision and touch in exogenous covert spatial attention that remap across changes in unseen hand posture, suggesting a modulatory role for proprioception...
Vision modulates somatosensory cortical processingMarisa Taylor-Clarke
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Department of Psychology, University College London, 17, Queen Square, London WC1N 3AR, United Kingdom
Curr Biol 12:233-6. 2002
..To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of direct modulation of somatosensory cortex activity by a noninformative view of the stimulated body site with concomitant enhancement of tactile acuity in normal subjects...
Tool-use changes multimodal spatial interactions between vision and touch in normal humansAngelo Maravita
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College, London, UK
Cognition 83:B25-34. 2002
..This phenomenon depended on active tool-use, developing with increased experience in using the tool. We relate these results to recent physiological and neuropsychological findings...

Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Department of Psychology, University College London, 17, Queen Square, WC1N 3AR, London, UK
Exp Brain Res 154:238-45. 2004
..We consider possible mechanisms by which vision may influence tactile processing...
Persistence of visual-tactile enhancement in humansMarisa Taylor-Clarke
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, 17 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AR, UK
Neurosci Lett 354:22-5. 2004
..These results suggest that viewing the body modulates the neural circuitry of primary somatosensory cortex, outlasting visual inputs...
Facilitated processing of visual stimuli associated with the bodyLouise Whiteley
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3UD, UK
Perception 33:307-14. 2004
..With this finding we address concerns associated with previous work on the processing of stimuli attributed to the self and extend the finding of a performance advantage for such stimuli to vision...
Disentangling gaze shifts from preparatory ERP effects during spatial attentionSteffan Kennett
UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Department of Psychology, University College London, London, UK
Psychophysiology 44:69-78. 2007
..Nevertheless, by using this measure for more stringent exclusion of small gaze shifts, we confirmed that reliable ADAN components remain for preparatory spatial attention in the absence of any systematic gaze shifts toward the cued side...
