Editorial: The bodily self in the multisensory world.

This article explores the relationship between sensory perception, multisensory integration, and bodily self-representation. It includes seven novel publications that offer insights into how our brains construct and integrate sensory experiences, reshaping our understanding of perception and consciousness. The studies cover various topics, such as the impact of brain damage on somatosensory processing, rehabilitation techniques, dysregulated eating behaviors, self-face representation in children, naturalistic limb movements, and the neural differences between airplane pilots and non-pilots. The document also discusses a study that used virtual reality tasks to examine the impact of congruent and incongruent sensory-motor interactions on spatial perception, finding that participants exhibited a bias in left-right tactile localization and a shift in the perceived body midline. These findings contribute to our understanding of spatial biases in virtual environments and have implications for bodily perception. [Extracted from the article]
