Body ownership and kinaesthetic illusions: Dissociated bodily experiences for distinct levels of body consciousness?
Conscious Cogn. 2024 Jan;117:103630. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2023.103630. Epub 2024 Jan 5.ABSTRACTSeeing an embodied humanoid avatar move its arms can induce in the observer the illusion that its own (static) arms are moving accordingly, the kinematic signals emanating from this avatar thus being considered like those from the biological body. Here, we investigated the causal relationship between these kinaesthetic illusions and the illusion of body ownership, manipulated through visuomotor synchronisation. The results of two experiments revealed that the sense of body ownership over an avatar seen from a first-person perspe...

Principles of belief acquisition. How we read other minds
Conscious Cogn. 2023 Dec 29;117:103625. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2023.103625. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReading other minds is a pervasive feature of human social life. A decade of research indicates that people can automatically track an agent's beliefs regardless of whether this is required. But little is known about the principles t guide automatic belief tracking. In six experiments adapting a false belief task introduced by Kovács et al. (2010), we tested whether belief tracking is interrupted by either an agent's lack of perceptual access or else by an agent's constrained action possibilities. We also tested whethe...

Attentional blur and blink: Effects of adaptive attentional scaling on visual awareness
This study investigates the adaptive control of attentional scaling and its influence on visual awareness in an attentional blink paradigm. Participants were required to attend to the first target's location, which was manipulated either session-wise, trial-wise, or such that it could be learned across a block of trials. Discrete, all-or-none, awareness was expected when attention was allocated to a narrow area, while gradual awareness was expected when attention was allocated to a larger area. We used mixture modeling to assess second target awareness across these different attentional scales. The results revealed that pa...

How to get rich from inflation
Conscious Cogn. 2023 Dec 26;117:103624. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2023.103624. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe seem to have rich experience across our visual field. Yet we are surprisingly poor at tasks involving the periphery and low spatial attention. Recently, Lau and collaborators have argued that a phenomenon known as "subjective inflation" allows us to reconcile these phenomena. I show inflation is consistent with multiple interpretations, with starkly different consequences for richness and for theories of consciousness more broadly. What's more, we have only weak reasons favouring any of these interpretations over the...
