During the rubber hand illusion (RHI), subjects experience an artificial as part of their own body, while real is subject to a sort 'disembodiment'. Can this altered belief about body also affect physiological mechanisms involved in body-ownership, such motor control? Here we ask whether excitability pathways (disembodied) are affected by illusion. Our results show that amplitude motor-evoked potentials recorded from significantly reduced, with respect baseline, when synchronous (but not...
Autism spectrum conditions (ASC) are characterized by social-communicative deficits and repetitive stereotyped behaviors. Altered motor coordination is also observed a dysfunction of imagery has been recently reported on implicit tasks. However, no information explicit abilities available in ASC. Here, we employed spatial bimanual task to concurrently assess autism. A secondary objective the study was evaluate these across two populations ASC, namely adolescents adults with To this aim, took...
