▼ This study will look into to the concepts of Peripersonal Space, The Body Schema and The Body Image. It examines how the terms are typically used and describes the various views about the concepts found in the literature, as well as the contradictions between these views. In the section “The Difficulty to Differentiate the Concepts” the reader gets a deeper understanding of which criteria researchers use to differentiate the concepts from one another. The fact that there are changes in kineamethic model and sensation in humans when they are using a rake is proposed as support for the idea that also the body schema is involved in tool use. In differentiating the Body schema – Body Image from each other (and other types of body representation) we come to the conclusion that positive definitions about different representations is needed and that researchers should unite their views what the definitions should be. We also mention a problem based on the possibility on infinite body representations and a solution by a Bayesian model is proposed that looks at the input as well as the output in experiments.

▼ Body image investment consists of the importance placed on appearance, and the behaviours utilized to maintain or improve appearance. Within
body image investment, self-evaluative salience refers to the importance placed on appearance for self-definition.
Body image investment may be conceptualized as a
schema, which is a cognitive structure that organizes information. Schemata may impact how an individual reacts to stimuli. Such reactions may be viewed neurologically by recording the cortical activity of the frontal lobes with EEG, and interpreting asymmetric frontal lobe activity using the Motivational Direction Hypothesis. This hypothesis posits that greater left frontal activity is indicative of approach motivation, and greater right frontal activity is indicative of withdrawal motivation. In the present study, self-evaluative salience was investigated for a neurological substrate by recording frontal lobe activity with EEG while women viewed a slideshow of images depicting thin and overweight female celebrities. Female participants (N = 61) completed an online measure of
body image investment, and then attended a laboratory session where they viewed the slideshow while having their frontal activity recorded. After controlling for BMI, only women with medium self-evaluative salience had greater left frontal activity when viewing thin images, and greater right frontal activity when viewing overweight images. Our results suggest that women low in self-evaluative salience may not process the images using an appearance
schema, and women high in self-evaluative salience may experience conflicting reactions to the images based on contradicting appearance ideals. Women with medium self-evaluative salience may process the images using an appearance
schema, and process the images using the most salient appearance ideal. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

▼ Previous research, using the body-part compatibility (BPC) task, has revealed that tool embodiment might emerge through both real and virtual interactions. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the validity of using a BPC task to measure tool-embodiment that typically only emerges from active tool-engagement. Participants completed a BPC task in which they responded with either a foot or hand press to targets presented on an image of a model holding a rake. Targets were presented on the model’s foot, hand, and the rake. This response time (RT) task was performed before and after one of two interventions. Participants in the first group made reaching movements to targets presented on static images of the virtual tool-use task. Participants in the control group completed math problems. Overall, the study indicates that, perhaps, a BPC task is not a valid paradigm to assess tool-embodiment for active tool-use.

▼ Self-other interactions are facilitated through the activation of the body schema – a representation of one’s body is used as a reference to map others’ bodies. Here, the body-part compatibility effect was used as an index of self-other matching. The body-part compatibility effect describes the finding that there are shorter response times to targets presented on an observed limb that is homologous to the responding limb than when the observed and responding limbs are non-homologous. This compatibility effect was investigated as participants viewed bodies with hidden or visible limbs (Experiment 1) and missing or intact limbs (Experiment 2). Compatibility effects were present when viewing hidden and visible limbs (Experiment 1), whereas the compatibility effect was only present for both responding limbs when viewing the missing legs (Experiment 2 preliminary). Overall, the results indicate that self-other matching may be reduced when the limbs of the model are hidden behind an object.

▼ Proprioception is an ability to perceive the position and speed of body parts that is important for construction of the body schema in the brain. Proper updating of the body schema is necessary for appropriate voluntary movement. However, the mechanisms mediating such an updating are not well understood. To study these mechanisms when the body part was at rest, electroencephalography (EEG) and evoked potentials studies were employed, and when the body was in motion, kinematic studies were performed. An experimental approach to elicit proprioceptive P300 evoked potentials was developed providing evidence that processing of novel passive movements is similar to processing of novel visual and auditory stimuli. The latencies of the proprioceptive P300 potentials were found to be greater than those elicited by auditory, but not different from those elicited by the visual stimuli. The features of the functional networks that generated the P300s were analyzed for each modality. Cross-correlation networks showed both common features, e.g. connections between frontal and parietal areas, and the stimulus-specific features, e.g. increases of the connectivity for temporal electrodes in the visual and auditory networks, but not in the proprioceptive ones. The magnitude of coherency networks showed a reduction in alpha band connectivity for most of the electrodes groupings for all stimuli modalities, but did not demonstrate modality-specific features. Kinematic study compared performances of 19 models previously proposed in the literature for movements at the shoulder and elbow joints in terms of their ability to reconstruct the speed profiles of the wrist pointing movements. It was found that lognormal and beta function models are most suitable for wrist speed profile modeling. In addition, an investigation of the blinking rates during the P300 potentials recordings revealed significantly lower rates in left-handed participants, compared to the right-handed ones. Future work will include expanding the experimental and analytical methodologies to different kinds of proprioceptive stimuli (displacements and speeds) and experimental paradigms (error-related negativity potentials), and comparing the models of the speed profiles produced by the feet to those of the wrists, as well as replicating the observations made on the blinking rates in a larger scale study.

▼ The purpose of the present study was to determine if children and adolescents are able to map the body parts of other children and adolescents on to the representation of their own body parts and if age influences this mapping. To this end, participants completed a body-part compatibility task where responses were executed to coloured targets (relevant feature) presented over the hand or foot (irrelevant feature) of separate male models of different ages (7, 11, and 15 years of age). It was found that body-part compatibility effects emerged for both the 10-12 and 13-16 year old age groups. No body-part compatibility effects were found for the 7-9 year old age group. Most interestingly, the body-part compatibility effects for both the 10-12 and 13-16 year old age groups occurred when viewing models of their own peers. Overall, the results indicate that the body-part matching process is sensitive to social factors.

▼ Tool embodiment occurs when the neural representation of the body (i.e., body schema) incorporates the representation of a tool following interaction with the tool. The present thesis examined if tool embodiment can occur through different mediums of tool interactions. Participants completed a response time task (sensitive to tool embodiment) before and after interacting with one of three tools. In the physical tool interaction, participants held a real plastic rake to move a ball around a course. In two virtual tool interactions, an avatar holding a virtual rake was projected on to a screen and participants used a keyboard or a Wiiâ ˘ remote to move the virtual rake. Response time results indicate that prior to interaction, the rake was processed as separate from the body. However, through real and virtual tool experience, the rake was embodied such that it was incorporated into the body schema and processed as an extension of the hand.

▼ Positive afterimages can be reliably induced in an observer by exposure to a bright flash. If an observer is sitting in total darkness, then they will perceive an afterimage of whatever they were looking at when the flash occurred, even well
after the room has returned to total darkness. If the afterimage is of a part of the observer's body, then subsequently moving that body part causes the afterimage of the moved part to fade, due to conflict between proprioceptive feedback (of movement)
and illusory visual feedback (a non-moving afterimage) that are part of a multi-sensory system for tracking body parts. Recent studies have found that this multi-sensory effect also occurs with held objects (like tools); the visual afterimage of a held
object disappears when that object is displaced in total darkness. While some argue that this is evidence that held objects are incorporated into the body schema, the series of experiments I present herein demonstrate that this is not the most likely
explanation for why visual afterimages of objects fade when moved in total darkness, and I propose to explain the effect through a more general multi-sensory object-tracking mechanism. These experiments generate important new data for basic research into
positive afterimages. I demonstrate that auditory feedback of object movement can induce afterimage fading, that the fading effect scales with the magnitude of proprioceptive feedback when other sensory input is held constant, and that tactile feedback
alone is sufficient for the effect. Together, these data show that the visual percept of a positive afterimage is constructed not just from visual input of the scene when light reached the eyes, but in conjunction with input from the other
senses.

▼ Different mental representations of the
body have been proposed by different researchers. A common distinction between
body representations is between the
body image (perceptual responses) and the
body schema (motor responses). In this study the difference between these two representations is investigated by using two bodily illusions, the rubber hand illusion and the mirror illusion. In the rubber hand illusion subjects view stimulation of a rubber hand while feeling synchronous stimulation on their own hand, which may lead to the feeling that the rubber hand is part of their own
body. In the mirror illusion subjects view stimulation of the reflection of their own hand while feeling synchronously stimulation of their occluded other hand. Subjects may feel that the reflection of the seen hand is their occluded hand. Because previous studies yield different results (the mirror illusion does seem to have influence on reaching responses, and the rubber hand illusion does not), in this study both illusions are compared. After stimulation (synchronously or asynchronously inducing or not inducing the illusion, respectively) in one of both illusions subjects performed perceptual and motor responses, which are argued to be based on the
body image and the
body schema, respectively. Results showed that inducing the illusion influences the perceptual response (perceived location) of the stimulated hand significantly more than not inducing the illusion. The rubber hand illusion and the mirror illusion differ significantly in the perceptual response, with the mirror illusion having a stronger effect. Inducing the illusion does not influence the reaching movement with the right stimulated hand towards the left hand, and the type of illusion does not have an effect on the reaching response. Both illusions seem to influence the
body image, and not the
body schema in this particular set-up.

▼ La fonction d’anticipation programmant l'action et ses conséquences sur la posture s’appuie sur les représentations sensorimotrice. L’adolescence étant caractérisée par des modifications du corps et du cerveau, cette thése évalue les liens qui unissent anticipation, représentations sensorimotrices et maturation cérébrale. La tâche bimanuelle de délestage met en jeu l’utilisation d’un bras postural, supportant le poids, et d’un bras manipulateur, qui le déleste. Dans cette tâche, l'anticipation s'exprime par les ajustements posturaux anticipés (APA), annulant la déstabilisation posturale causée par l'action. Des enregistrements cinématiques, EMG et EEG ont été utilisés. Bien qu’une stabilisation posturale stable soit reportée, les APAs à l’adolescence se caractérisent par une amélioration de la latence de l’inhibition des fléchisseurs. Chez l’adulte, les APA s’expriment par une désynchronisation du rythme mu et une onde positive au dessus de M1 impliqué dans la posture. Les caractéristiques temporelles de ces signatures varient à l’adolescence. L’apprentissage d’un nouveau contrôle postural est caractérisé par une amélioration rapide puis plus lente de la stabilisation posturale. Plus tardive à l'adolescence, cette acquisition repose sur la maitrise du réglage temporel de l’inhibition des fléchisseurs. Une intégration des retours proprioceptifs issus de l’action permettrait la construction d’une représentation sensorimotrice. Exprimée par la maitrise des paramètres temporels, la réactualisation des représentations sensorimotrice à l’adolescence passerait par une meilleure intégration des retours proprioceptifs. La maturation des régions cérébrales serait aussi capitale.
Voluntary action requires an anticipation, which predicts the consequence of action on posture. Anticipation rests on action and body representations. Adolescence is characterized by body modifications and cerebral maturation. This thesis explored the link between the anticipatory function, action and body representations, and the cerebral maturation. The bimanual load-lifting task engages a postural arm, supporting the load, and a motor arm, lifting the load. In this task, the anticipation, expressed by anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) cancelled the destabilizing effect of movement on the posture. Kinematics, EMG and EEG were recorded. Although performances of postural stabilization were stable, APAs at the adolescence were characterized by an earlier latency of inhibition on the postural flexors. In adults, APA are expressed by a mu rhythm desynchronization and a positive wave over M1involved in posture, which presented different temporal characteristics in adolescents. Thus, the improvement of APA would be underlain by a maturation of these EEG activities. Learning a new postural control was characterized by a rapid followed by a slow improvement of the postural stabilisation. This acquisition rested on the mastering of the temporal parameters of the flexors inhibition, which took more time at the adolescence. Integration of proprioceptive…

▼ This dissertation examines what happens when elective breast surgery intervenes on women at the level of their
body images. In this theoretical-empirical project, I compare practitioner discourses and patient narratives of the impact of breast augmentation and reduction surgeries on female
body image. To this end, I conducted two case studies: first, a feminist-poststructuralist discourse analysis of practitioner-authored studies on elective breast surgery and
body image, as published in peer-reviewed journals; and second, a feminist-phenomenological inquiry into womens first-hand accounts of their experiences of these surgical procedures. I argue that
body image is, at one and the same time, an uncritically accepted concept that encourages normative understandings of surgical outcomes and a productive lens through which women make sense of how surgery instigates a reorientation of the
body and its habits. The unique contributions of this project are that it brings together poststructuralism and phenomenology so as to concurrently examine practitioner and patient perspectives of the effects of surgery, and critically examines the mainstream notion and widespread acceptance of
body image.

▼ Home-education, school-education and recent technology revolution are intertwined in shaping children’s identity in the context of body movement and body-schema. Moreover, the notion of imagination in physical education emphasizes one’s
“body image” and “body schema,” and is represented in a nature of object (i.e. body movement) and fantasized as the corporeal postural model of the body in one’s Utopian visions instead of reality action. As Sepper (1996) points out, “[i]magination by
its nature has as object that is not really ‘there,’ and in dreams and hallucinations, it takes appearances for reality” (p. 1). The imaginational context of body movement, as a social phenomenon, varies from culture to culture, from traditional to
modern/postmodern society, from a local village to a global world, and from actual to virtual reality. The purpose of study was to investigate how young children, specifically in third/fourth grade children, from different ethnic groups and cultural
environments construct and present their body-schema in contemporary physical education classroom. Four major ethnic populations were focused upon: Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic-American, and Asian-American. Twenty-two third and fourth graders (8
males and 14 females) from Yaya Elementary School, Georgia, the United States and Cathay Elementary School, Taipei, Taiwan participated in the study. The methods of data collection included: 1) informal and formal interviews; 2) non-participated
observation; and 3) document analysis. Data were analyzed by constant comparative method to achieve a better understanding of children’s body-schema construction according to their various family and cultural backgrounds so as to increase school
teacher’s awareness of their different body movements and to help develop culturally responsive educational curriculum in elementary physical education. Four major themes were revealed in the study: a) father-image/mother-image and sibling-image/PE
teacher-image; b) gender and sports; c) technology, body-image and the imaginary; and d) mapping cultural images. Results indicated children’s imagination in body-schema/body-image was found to be largely governed by both cultural and social elements.
Consequently, youth identity formation has been transformed in a multicultural/global environment where social and cultural conditions had been drastically changed.

▼ One of the main symptoms of anorexia nervosa (AN) is a disturbed experience of
body size and shape. Although patients are underweight, they experience their
body as bigger than it in reality is. Previous studies were mainly conducted by (clinical) psychologists and psychiatrists, and almost exclusively focused on bodily cognitions and visual processing of
body-related information. In this thesis a more cognitive neuroscience approach was adopted. This allowed for investigating multimodal
body image disturbances,
body schema disturbances, and the plasticity of
body representation in AN.
Body image is mainly involved in conscious
body-related perception. We developed and validated a task which assesses the metric aspects of tactile
body image. Participants were blindfolded and received two simultaneous tactile stimuli to their forearm and abdomen. The results showed that compared to healthy females, AN patients overestimated the distance between the two tactile stimuli. This implies a disturbance in tactile
body image in AN. Group differences on tasks assessing lower level somatosensory perception were identified as well. Regression analyses indicated that overestimation of tactile distances in the AN group is related to higher order aspects of AN pathology as well as to lower level aspects of tactile perception (at receptor level). The (unconscious)
body schema is crucial in planning and performing actions. We developed and validated a task that assesses
body schema disturbances. Participants walked through apertures varying in width. Notably, participants were led to believe that the apertures were not of relevance, and that they participated in a haptic memory experiment. This ensured that participants did not consciously focus on their walking behaviour. The results showed that healthy females started rotating their shoulders as soon as an aperture was 25% wider than their own shoulders. AN patients, however, already started rotating their shoulder for apertures that were 40% wider than their own shoulders. AN patients thus rotated their
body for apertures that they could objective walk straight through. This indicates that AN patients movements are based on an enlarged internal model of
body size, i.e. they show a disturbance in
body schema. Plasticity of
body representation in AN was assessed with an adapted version of the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI). Here participants estimated the size of their own hand and a rubber hand before and after induction of the RHI. In both the experimental and control condition participants estimated their own hand more accurately after multisensory input during induction of the RHI was provided (i.e. stroking of the own occluded hand and the visible rubber hand). This implies that the disturbed experience of
body size in AN is not static but can be changed. Taken together the present thesis shows that the disturbed experience of
body size goes beyond “merely” thinking and seeing the own
body as fat, it even affects perception of touch and unconscious movements. AN patients feel…

▼ No presente estudo, propomos o exame do problema da função simbólica nos primeiros trabalhos de Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Mais especificamente, trata-se de abordar a posição do problema n\́"A estrutura do comportamento\", obra publicada em 1942, e sua retomada crítica na \"Fenomenologia da percepção\", publicada em 1945. Esse tema, pouco explicitado pelo filósofo, é também objeto de raros debates entre seus comentadores. Em seu primeiro trabalho, Merleau-Ponty, apropriando-se da semântica do símbolo advinda da neuropsiquiatria do início do século XX, caracterizara o nível de organização da corporalidade humana a partir da sua capacidade de ultrapassar o caráter imediato das situações vividas. A atitude categorial, ou simbólica, aparecia, então, como uma nova significação do comportamento, tendo em vista as formas sincrética e amovível do comportamento encontradas na escala zoológica. A atividade humana investiria o meio de virtualidade e, assim, redimensionaria a existência concreta que se denota no comportamento animal. Nos capítulos da \"Fenomenologia da percepçãoëm que Merleau-Ponty trata da espacialidade, da motricidade e da expressividade do corpo próprio, do mesmo modo que o autor prescinde das explicações causais dos fenômenos patológicos utilizados à guisa de material de discussão, ele prescinde das explicações calcadas na função simbólica, doravante associadas a análises de cunho intelectualista. O filósofo combate, tanto na neuropsiquiatria representada especialmente por Gelb e Goldstein quanto na filosofia de Cassirer, o que considera representar uma autonomia crescente da ideação simbólica na dinâmica entre conteúdo e forma. Ao mesmo tempo, Merleau-Ponty nos faz ver que, nessa neuropsiquiatria e nessa filosofia do símbolo, é possível apreender análises fenomenológicas acerca da expressividade motora, gesticular e linguageira do corpo próprio. Tais análises revelam, nele, uma forma de saber que não se reduz nem à ordem do em si nem à ordem do para si, delineando, portanto, a noção de intencionalidade que interessa ao filósofo desenvolver, fundada na unidade sinérgica do corpo próprio. Daí a importância que um outro dispositivo teórico-antropológico adquire ao longo da \"Fenomenologia da percepção\": a noção de esquema corporal.
In this study, we aim to investigate the problem of the symbolic function in Maurice Merleau-Ponty\'s first works. More specifically, we address the position of that problem in \"The Structure of Behavior\", published in 1942, and its critical review in the \"Phenomenology of perception\", published in 1945. This theme, on which the philosopher provided few specifications, is also a source of rare debates among his commentators. In his first work, Merleau-Ponty, using the semantics of the symbol from early 20th-century neuropsychiatry, characterizes the organizational level of human corporality based on its ability to go beyond the immediate nature of the experienced situations. The categorial or symbolic attitude seemed to be a new signification of behavior, in view of the…

▼ Tool use is a hallmark of human intelligence, which has not fully been explored in the artificial intelligence research community. Research in cognitive neuroscience on primates suggests that not only do we maintain a mental representation of our
body, but the
body schema is modified to include a tool during intentional tool use (Iriki et al., 1996). We have developed a habile (tool-using) agent, based on the Sony Aibo platform, that can pick up a stick and use it as a tool to reach objects previously out of its range. The agent uses a recurrent neural network developed by Steinkühler and Cruse (1998) for maintaining an internal
body schema used to find appropriate postures for reaching and grasping tools. We argue that analysis of activities of such tool using agents offers an informative way to evaluate intelligence.

▼ Over the past decade, there has been an increase in academic research on media and its influences on body satisfaction. To date, the majority of body image literature focuses on low body satisfaction. While low body satisfaction leads to negative outcomes, high body satisfaction leads to a host of positive outcomes. Further, in a non-academic domain, it would seem that even some media icons are starting to take part in the effort to try to promote positive appearance messages. Singers like Christina Aguilera, Colbie Caillat, and Alessia Cara have begun writing songs like Beautiful, Try, and Scars To Your Beautiful to combat the rampant standard of the thin ideal. The current study consists of an experiment to examine the effects of positive or negative appearance music lyrics and their influence on body related outcomes (body satisfaction measured implicitly through an IAT, self-reports of body satisfaction, and observed body surveillance) in emerging adult women while moderating by adherence to sociocultural attitudes of media ideals. Results revealed that participants who listened to the positive lyrics reported significantly better body satisfaction as compared to those who listened to the negative lyrics. However, those who listened to positive lyrics did not report significantly better body satisfaction compared to those in the neutral condition and those in the neutral condition did not differ significantly from those in the negative condition. Due to preconceived schema regarding how participants already felt about their appearance, perhaps they were primed to hear lyrics confirming their appearance fears (or soothing them), but failed to attend to lyrics "unappearance" related (the neutral lyrics). Therefore, when asked about their body satisfaction, their responses reflected what they attended to, namely, either the positive or negative lyrics, not the neutral lyrics.

▼ La proprioception est la modalité essentielle pour la construction du schéma corporel (SC) qui se construit au cours de la vie. Cette thèse cherche à comprendre la construction du SC au cours du développement en explorant l’intégration proprioceptive (IP). L’utilisation des vibrations tendineuses en IRMf chez l’enfant et l’adulte, révèle que les bases neurales de l’IP sont établies dès 7 ans. Mais, chez l’enfant apparait une moindre activation des régions pariétales et sensorielles ainsi que l’activation du cortex frontopolaire, confirmant la lente maturation de l’IP. L’étude de la maturation de l’acuité proprioceptive (AP) corrélé à des données d’IRMf de repos chez l’enfant et l’adulte révèle que l’AP est supportée dès 8 ans par une interaction entre le réseau sensorimoteur (SMN) et frontopariétal (FPN). Chez l’enfant seulement apparait une relation inverse entre FPN-SMN et AP et une relation cerebello-corticales et AP. Un désengagement des connexions cerebello-corticales laisse place à des connexions cortico-corticales avec l’âge. L’exploration du couplage perception-action, essentiel pour la construction du SC, révèle que la manipulation de l’action impacte plus largement la perception des enfants et des adolescents. La construction d’une représentation stable grâce à ce couplage est fonctionnelle dès 6 ans mais poursuit sa maturation au cours de l’adolescence. Nous avons révélé l’établissement précoce et la lente maturation des bases neurales du SC. L’engagement de structures supplémentaires chez l’enfant renforcerait le neurodéveloppement du SC. La construction du SC utilisant l’IP est moins efficace chez les enfants et les adolescents révélant sa lente maturation.
Proprioception is the sensory modality essential to body schema (BS) building which is built through ontogenesis. This thesis’ aim highlights the building of the BS through childhood and adolescence by exploring proprioceptive integration (PI) at both behavioural and brain level. Using tendon vibration during fMRI in children and adults, revealed that the neural basis of BS are already established from the age of 7. Yet, in children appeared a less activation of parietal and sensory areas as well as an exclusive activation of the frontopolar cortex confirming the slow maturation of PI. Proprioceptive acuity (PA) assessment correlated with resting state data in children and adults revealed that PA is supported by an interaction between the sensorimotor and the frontoparietal networks in both groups. Yet, in children only, this interaction is reversed compared to adults, and they presented also the involvement of cortico-cerebellar connexions to support PA. The disengagement of cortico-cerebellar connexions leaves room to cortico-cortical connexions with age. The evaluation of the perception-action coupling, essential to the BS building through development, revealed that action strongly impact children’s and adolescents’ perception of human body. The building of a reliable representation thanks to this coupling, is present from the age of 6 but…

▼ Body schema is indispensable for sensorimotor control and learning, but it remains unclear whether it is associated with cognitive functions. Data from patients with spatial neglect support this view; yet observations in healthy participants are inconsistent. Here I conducted two sets of experiments examining influences of trunk position: the first probed attention and spatial working memory using a change detection task and a two-back task; the second used different versions of the Posner paradigm to examine whether head-on-trunk position governs disengagement of attention. In none of the experiments did I observe that trunk turns altered performance in the left versus right visual field in an ipsiversive fashion as reported in neglect. Nevertheless, I found that trunk-right position improved performance at eccentric locations of the visual field. The data are inconsistent with previous findings of head-on-trunk effects in normal participants. Further studies are required to clarify these discrepancies.

▼ La douleur est une expérience complexe avec un fort impact sur la vie des patients surtout quand elle devient chronique et invalidante. Actuellement de nouvelles approches thérapeutiques émergent fondées sur une nouvelle compréhension de la douleur.Les patients blessés médullaires (BM) représentent une population chez qui la prise en charge de la douleur est difficile et cela en partie par une faible représentation dans la recherche scientifique. La douleur neuropathique sous-lésionnelle (DNSL) des BM est un modèle intéressant car s’apparente à une douleur de membre fantôme, est encore difficilement comprise, prise en charge et elle, représente un modèle intéressant pour l’étude du lien entre représentation du corps et douleur.Nous avons entrepris deux recherches pour comprendre comment les modifications du système nerveux central peuvent participer à la douleur de ces patients et quel lien peut-il avoir entre douleur et représentation du corps chez eux.Nos résultats ont permis de mettre en avant que les patients présentant des DNSL montrent des signes de plasticité maladaptative au niveau du thalamus, du cortex moteur et du cortex cingulaire ce qui est cohérent avec des altérations de la dite “neuromatrice de la douleur” et une dysrythmie thalamo-corticale déjà décrit dans d’autres pathologies. Les données indiquent aussi une possible neuroplasticité protectrice au niveau du cortex somatosensoriel. Ces changements sont autant de cibles potentielles de pris en charge en rééducation.De même nous avons pu démontrer que les patients BM ont une altération de leur représentation corporelle et que celle-ci est corrélée à l’aspect neuropathique de la douleur.Les données apportées confirment nos hypothèses et ouvrent vers la possibilité d’explorer ces phénomènes plus en avant et de déterminer quels moyens de rééducation peuvent être utiles pour aider les patients avec des DNSL.
Pain is a complex experience with a strong impact on patients' lives, especially when it becomes chronic and disabling. New therapeutic approaches are currently emerging based on a new understanding of pain.Spinal cord injury (SCI) patients represent a population in which pain management is difficult and this is due to low representation in scientific research. Sublesional neuropathic pain (SNP) in SCI is an interesting model because it is similar to phantom limb pain, is still difficult to understand, manage and represents an interesting model for studying the link between body representation and pain.We have undertaken two studies to understand how changes in the central nervous system can contribute to the pain of these patients and how pain can be related to body representation in these patients. Our results have shown that patients with SNP show signs of maladaptive plasticity in the thalamus, motor cortex and cingulate cortex, which is consistent with alterations in the so-called "pain neuromatrix" and a thalamocortical disrythmia already described in other pathologies. More surprising and the evidence indicating a possible protective…

▼ Neck muscles have a high density of muscle spindle afferents and their input is critical for formulating the perception of head position relative to the
body. Chronic alterations in afferent input from the neck may be studied in individuals with subclinical neck pain (SCNP), defined as non-severe recurrent neck pain lasting at least three months in the past year and testable on pain-free days so as to explore altered-afferent-input effects on cerebellar processing, upper extremity function and spatial awareness in the absence of pain. The first study tested participants with SCNP using transcranial magnetic stimulation to activate the cerebellar-thalamic-cortical circuit and produce cerebellar inhibition (CBI). SCNP participants were randomized to receive cervical manipulation or passive head movement (PHM), following which all participants completed a motor acquisition task. Healthy controls and SCNP participants who received manipulation showed significantly less CBI and improved motor performance whereas the SCNP group who received PHM showed no changes to CBI. The second study tested SCNP participants on upper extremity dart throwing. Three sets of ten darts were thrown at a slow-to-normal speed and three sets of ten darts were thrown at a fast speed. Compared to healthy participants, SCNP participants showed significantly greater elbow and forearm variability in motor selection, greater peak acceleration velocity of shoulder flexion-extension movement, and greater peak deceleration velocity of wrist movement. The third study looked at whether SCNP also impacted spatial awareness beyond an egocentric frame of reference, by measuring the response time to recognize objects which were rotated relative to their usual orientation. The SCNP group showed slower mental rotation at baseline and a smaller improvement when measured after four weeks (8.6%) in comparison to the healthy group (16.1%). These studies provide compelling evidence that chronic alterations in sensory input from the neck influences cerebellar integration leading to changes to upper extremity movement and spatial awareness of object orientation.

▼ This thesis introduces an orienting mechanism and control system for the purpose of eye tonometry. The design is based on a 3RRR spherical parallel manipulator architecture. The end-effector is mounted with a triad of force sensing elements. Presented in this paper is a unique approach to force control based on an artificial neural network. The mechanism generates movements to collect data about its tactile environment ultimately generating a path to the force sensors' equilibrium point.

▼ Nous avons tous un corps, et seulement un corps. Grâce à lui, nous nous déplaçons dans l’espace, nous interagissons avec le monde extérieur et les autres individus qui l’habitent, nous percevons, bref, nous vivons. Il s’agit d’un objet unique et essentiel. Cependant, bien que nous ayons un seul corps, il en existe dans le cerveau plusieurs représentations. Peu d’accord existe en littérature sur le nombre de représentation, mais tout le monde concorde sur le fait qu’il en existe plus qu’une. Les modèles de la représentation corporelle sont basés sur une notion de séparation des fonctions, selon laquelle activités différentes requièrent différentes représentations. Au cours de ma thèse j’ai étudié une de ces représentations dont la fonction principale est de fournir une connaissance du corps utile à l’action. Cette représentation est nommée Schéma Corporel. En particulier, en utilisant une technique comportementale puissante telle que la cinématique, j’ai pu montrer, pour la première fois, que le Schéma Corporel est une représentation extrêmement plastique, capable d’intégrer des outils lorsqu’ils sont utilisés pour effectuer une action. Ensuite, j’ai pu décrire cette propriété plastique du Schéma Corporel en montrant quelles informations sensorielles sont nécessaires et quels aspects des outils sont intégrés dans la représentation du corps. Les résultats de mes études expérimentales, ainsi que mon travail de synthèse de la littérature, m’ont permis d’élaborer une définition opérative du Schéma Corporel et de sa plasticité
We all have a body : our own body and just one body. Through it, we move, we interact with the world and other persons, we perceive, basically we live. It’s a unique essential object. If it is true that we have only one physical body, we also have many representations of it in the brain. There is little agreement about the exact number of body representations in the brain, but not on the fact that we have more than one. The multi-componential models of body representation are based on the notion, supported by scientific evidence that different activities demand and rely on specifically adapted representations. In my thesis, I studied one particular body representation that is used and involved in action planning and execution, i.e. the Body Schema. I have been able to describe and measure the plasticity of the Body Schema and its level of specificity in healthy individuals. In particular, using a tool-use paradigm, I showed that the Body Schema is quickly and efficiently updated once a change in the body configuration occurs. With a series of kinematic studies, I contributed unveiling the ingredients that rule the plasticity of the BS and the sensory information that is used to this purpose. As a result of my thesis, I suggest that a clearer definition and operational description of the Body Schema, as an action-devoted repertoire of effectors representations, is possible, particularly thanks to its plastic features

▼ Le schéma corporel est une représentation interne et dynamique du corps, de la morphologie, et des positions relatives des segments corporels. Celui-ci serait le support à partir duquel une motricité adaptée va pouvoir se mettre en place. L’objectif principal de ce travail doctoral était d’évaluer plus précisément cette intrication entre schéma corporel et comportements moteurs. Nous avons ainsi évalué à la fois l'effet de différentes distorsions du schéma corporel sur le comportement moteur, et inversement l'effet des comportements moteurs sur la modulation éventuelle du schéma corporel.Tout d’abord, nous avons testé si la distorsion morphologique du schéma corporel rapportée récemment dans l’anorexie mentale avait un retentissement sur la locomotion des patientes, dans une tâche de passabilité d’ouvertures (Etude 1). Les patientes ont effectivement tourné leurs épaules pour des largeurs d’ouvertures qui, compte tenu de leur nouvelle morphologie, ne nécessitaient pas une telle contorsion. Des comportements moteurs identiques ont été observés chez une patiente ayant perdu massivement et rapidement du poids, mais sans souffrir d’anorexie mentale (Etude 2). Ces résultats dans leur ensemble soulignent la rigidité du schéma corporel face à des changements corporels majeurs, ainsi que son incidence forte sur le comportement moteur dans l’anorexie mentale.Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons induit chez le sujet sain, grâce au paradigme miroir, souvent utilisé en réadaptation motrice, une distorsion entre schéma corporel et segments corporels, afin d’en évaluer les conséquences sur le comportement moteur volontaire (coordination bimanuelle, Etude 3) et involontaire (post-effet moteur, Etude 4). Les résultats de nos études font apparaître que la modulation des comportements moteurs dans le paradigme miroir serait plus liée aux afférences proprioceptives du bras face au miroir ou encore à une meilleure répartition des processus attentionnels, plutôt qu’à la distorsion du schéma corporel via le miroir.Enfin, nous avons testé si les comportements moteurs, ou tout du moins l’intention motrice à l’origine, pouvaient en retour moduler le schéma corporel et le sens du mouvement (Etude 5). Les illusions de mouvement induites dans le paradigme miroir ont bien été modulées selon que l’intention motrice du bras soumis à l’illusion soit congruente ou non avec le sens du mouvement illusoire généré.Compte tenu de l’implication de l’intention motrice dans la mise à jour du schéma corporel, nous suggérons que la prise en charge des troubles du schéma corporel (e.g. dans l’anorexie mentale), souvent basée sur une réadaptation visuelle de la représentation du corps, devrait être complétée par une remédiation sensori-motrice.Mots clefs : schéma corporel, comportement moteur, anorexie mentale, paradigme miroir, kinesthésie

▼ Cette thèse a pour thème l'étude les mécanismes neurocognitifs impliqués dans la détermination de la latéralité intrinsèque d'objets. Dans une première étude, nous avons montré qu'une projection de son propre schéma corporel sur un objet est nécessaire pour en différencier la gauche de la droite. Cette inscription corporelle fut observée aussi bien pour des stimuli humains que non humains, suggérant que la présence d'axes intrinsèques à l'objet est suffisante pour y permettre la projection du corps. Une seconde étude nous a permis de mieux comprendre les mécanismes neuronaux de l'inscription corporelle, en utilisant une tâche de comparaison de formes identiques ou miroir différemment orientées. Les stimuli étaient soit des corps humains, soit des assemblages de cubes. La magnetoencephalographie (MEG) révéla une implication du lobe pariétal supérieur gauche dans l'incarnation et la transformation spatiale des deux stimuli. Par ailleurs, une contribution de l'aire motrice supplémentaire fut observée dans le cas des cubes. Ainsi, nous proposons de considérer le lobe pariétal supérieur comme le substrat neural d'un émulateur utilisant le schéma corporel afin d'encoder la latéralité d'un objet et de prédire les conséquences visuelles d'une transformation spatiale. La contribution additionnelle de l'aire motrice supplémentaire a probablement facilité la transformation de formes non familières, par l'envoi d'une commande motrice à l'émulateur visant à accroître la cohérence de l'objet tourné mentalement. Ces interprétations supportent l'idée d'une cognition incarnée dans les actions corporelles.
The aim of this thesis was to study the neurocognitive mechanisms implicated in the determination of objects intrinsic handedness. In a first study, we evidenced that distinguishing the left from the right of an object requires a mental projection of the body schema onto the stimulus. This embodiment process occured for human and non human stimuli as well, suggesting that the mere presence of intrinsic axes on stimulus enables the bodily projection. In a second study, we explored the neural mechanisms underlying embodiment in a handedness shape matching task, using human bodies and cubes assemblies as stimuli with different orientations. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) revealed that the left superior parietal lobe participated in the embodiment and spatial transformation of both stimuli. In addition, we observed a contribution of the supplementary motor area for cube assemblies specifically. Therefore, we consider the superior parietal lobe as the neural substrate of an emulator processing the body schema to encode handedness and to predict the visual consequences of a spatial transformation. Besides, the additional contribution of the supplementary motor area probably helped the spatial transformation of unfamiliar shapes by backpropagating a motor command to the emulator to increase cohesiveness of the mentally rotated object. These interpretations support the grounding of cognition in bodily actions.

▼ The
body schema is an internal representation of the position of one’s
body in relationship to the environment. Adaptation of the
body schema involves an update of this internal model in response to changes in the task or the environment. Plasticity of the
body schema during postural control allows for one to adapt to changes or hazards in their environment. The level of plasticity is related to the efficiency of integration of sensory feedback in the cortex. This investigation sought to improve the understanding of postural adaptation by identifying the impact of sensory reweighting during a postural adaptation task. Additionally, this investigation sought to identify the effects of bilateral neuromodulation of the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on postural adaptation. We proposed three experiments to accomplish these goals. During the first experiment, we presented tendon vibration during an incline-intervention, which results an adaptation consisting of an anterior shift in position known as lean after-effect (LAE). During the second experiment, we presented tendon vibration after an incline-intervention. During the third experiment, we performed tDCS prior to an incline-intervention. Primary analyses of the data collected during this investigation revealed that an inclined support surface altered subjects’ response to vibration. We also found that vibration during an inclined stance did not alter the development of LAE, but vibration during the after-effect period had direction specific effects. Last, we found that neuromodulation of the PPC led to alterations in LAE. Results of this dissertation identified effects of proprioceptive reliability on the development of postural adaptation induced by an incline-intervention. Furthermore, this dissertation identified the direction specific results of altered support surface inclination on the effects of tendon vibration, providing new insights to this line of research. Results also help to improve the understanding of the role of the PPC in postural adaptation associated with adaptation of the
body schema. These insights may lead to improvements in understanding of the role of the
body schema in postural control, which may lead to improvements in strategies for the maintenance and rehabilitation of postural control in aging and disabled populations.

▼ This is a dissertation about the problem of other minds. Its point of departure is the modern philosophical and cognitive-scientific discussion of our attribution of mental states to others, in particular as it is conceived of within the so-called theory theory. The theory theory, and the broader framework of which it is a part, are presented in part 1. In the second part of the dissertation, it is argued that the conception of intentionality normally used in the modern discussions of intersubjectivity cannot adequately explain all facets of human actions. This is because some aspects of actions can only be explained by recourse to intentional states which are not necessarily cognitively accessible. Based upon the Merleau-Pontyian notion of body schema, I develop an alternative account of intentionality, viz. primordial intentionality. The third part of the dissertation argues that the theory theory, and indeed all theories of intersubjectivity that conceive of our ascription of mental states to others as being essentially cognitive, fail to appreciate the nature of the intentionality involved in our habitual capacity for mentalising. The kind of intentionality which is primarily involved in intersubjectivity is not cognitive intentionality, but primordial intentionality. In a Merleau-Pontyian spirit, this mentalising is explicated as a body-schematic transfer. I argue that my Merleau- Pontyian theory can explain how we can habitually attribute mental states to others, and that it furthermore presents a novel solution to the problem of how it is at all possible for us to conceive of the mental states of others.

▼ Cette thèse questionne l’idée, aujourd’hui largement partagée, d’une compression de l’espace dû aux TIC. Ceci est dû au peu d’attention que les recherches en Systèmes d’Information ont porté à la question de l’espace organisationnel, ainsi qu’au déterminisme technologique. Cette étude cherche à comprendre la relation entre espace organisationnel et TIC en partant de la théorie de l’affordance, fondée sur les travaux de J.J. Gibson. Une étude de cas multiple portant sur deux écoles de management, au Canada et en Angleterre, a été menée. Les pratiques spatiales des chercheurs ont été analysées à partir d’un modèle fondé sur la théorie de l’affordance, afin de vérifier le rôle des TIC dans la formation de ces pratiques. Les résultats montrent que cette approche théorique n’est en réalité pas pertinente pour l’étude des TIC de manière générale.Nous proposons une perspective alternative reposant sur la phénoménologie de la perception de Merleau-Ponty. Au regard des 2 cas étudiés, cette approche suggère que les TIC ont un double effet : elles compriment et étendent l’espace simultanément. Les TIC constituent un point focal où les espaces proches et éloignés convergent pour produire une unique sphère d’expérience. Notre étude développe les concepts merleau-pontiens d’intentionnalité, de schéma corporel, d’habitus, de corps-connaissant et corps habituel dans le contexte des pratiques spatiales des chercheurs. Nous proposons d’abandonner la théorie de l’affordance au profit d’une approche expérientielle pour comprendre la relation entre espace organisationnel et TIC.
The dominant narrative of the collapsing of space due to ICT in organizations is challenged by this study. It is argued that this is due to a general lack of interest in organizational space in IS scholarship combined with technological determinism. This study seeks to understand the relationship between ICT and organizational space by mobilizing affordance theory based on J.J. Gibson’s work. A qualitative multiple-case study covering two business schools, in Canada and the UK, was undertaken. The spatial practices of academics were scrutinized using a model based on affordance theory to ascertain the role of ICT, as part of the wider environment, in the shaping of these practices. The results clearly demonstrate the inadequacy of affordance theory for the study of ICT in general. An alternative perspective based on the phenomenology of perception of Merleau-Ponty is proposed and successfully tested against the data. This alternative perspective suggests that, based on the experience of academics, ICT simultaneously collapses and expands space. ICT acts as a point of singularity where proximate and remote spaces converge to produce a singular sphere of experience. The study further develops Merleau-Ponty’s concepts of intentionality, body schema, habitus, knowing body, and habitual body in the context of the spatial practices of academics. I propose abandoning affordance theory in favour of an experiential approach to understand the relationship between…

▼ The cognitivistic paradigm, which states that cognition is a result of computation with symbols that represent the world, has been challenged by many. The opponents have primarily criticized the detachment from direct interaction with the world and pointed to some fundamental problems (for instance the symbol grounding problem). Instead, they emphasized the constitutive role of embodied interaction with the environment. This has motivated the advancement of synthetic methodologies: the phenomenon of interest (cognition) can be studied by building and investigating whole brain-body-environment systems. Our work is centered around a compliant quadruped robot equipped with a multimodal sensory set. In a series of case studies, we investigate the structure of the sensorimotor space that the application of different actions in different environments by the robot brings about. Then, we study how the agent can autonomously abstract the regularities that are induced by the different conditions and use them to improve its behavior. The agent is engaged in path integration, terrain discrimination and gait adaptation, and moving target following tasks. The nature of the tasks forces the robot to leave the ``here-and-now'' time scale of simple reactive stimulus-response behaviors and to learn from its experience, thus creating a ``minimally cognitive'' setting. Solutions to these problems are developed by the agent in a bottom-up fashion. The complete scenarios are then used to illuminate the concepts that are believed to lie at the basis of cognition: sensorimotor contingencies, body schema, and forward internal models. Finally, we discuss how the presented solutions are relevant for applications in robotics, in particular in the area of autonomous model acquisition and adaptation, and, in mobile robots, in dead reckoning and traversability detection.

▼ Women who place cognitive importance on
appearance are expected to have self-schemas in the domain of
appearance. This study measured the extent to which women's
appearance schemas affect females' mood distress, self-esteem, and
self-evaluation of appearance after their exposure to attractive
images of others. The impact of social comparison was expected to
differ according to whether comparison targets were in-group
members (similar others) or out-group members (dissimilar
others).This study also measured women's level of mood distress
after their exposure to attractive. A total of
one hundred twenty-five female college students at The Ohio State
University participated in this study. Each
subject was asked to
participate in the study, which consisted of two experimental
sessions during a two-week interval. The initial session was
designed to identify subjects' appearance schematicity and
actual-ideal self-discrepancies on appearance. The follow-up
session was designed to measure subjects' responses regarding their
mood, self-esteem, and self- evaluation of appearance after being
exposed to stimulus photos taken from fashion magazines. Results of
a multivariate analyses of variance revealed that women with high
appearance schematicity exhibited more distressed mood than those
with low appearance schematicity; however, the level of mood
distress did not differ according to whether they were exposed to
similar or dissimilar others. Compared to women with low appearance
schematicity, women with high appearance schematicity scored lower
in self-esteem, evaluated themselves lower in attractiveness, and
placed greater importance on their own appearances. Women with high
actual-ideal self-discrepancies on appearance evaluated their own
appearances lower and placed greater importance on their own
appearances than those with low actual-ideal
self-discrepancies. This study revealed that the
impact of social comparisons with attractive others can be biased
by the extent of cognitive importance placed on the dimension of
appearance. The results imply that young women placing more
cognitive importance on appearance are more vulnerable to negative
self-evaluation of their appearances and self in
general.
