This project investigates how the brain integrates sensory information from tools, like a prosthetic whisker, with the body's spatial awareness in blind individuals. Using mice as a model, it explores neuronal activity in the somatosensory cortex to understand the relationship between sensory feedback and body represen…
When walking with a cane, a blind person can localize the objects they touch.
Tool-based sensing requires the brain to combine sensory signals at the hand and proprioceptive information together with knowledge of the physical properties of the tool.
To correctly interpret the signals sensed with a tool, the brain incorporates the tool in its internal representation of the body in space, known as the body schema.
However, the neuronal basis for integrating somatosensory with the body schema infor…
