Resumen de We can sense our invisible force field
Although no one has repeated the experiments in humans, there is evidence that certain regions of the brain deal specifically with peripersonal space. For instance, some people who have strokes in the right posterior parietal lobe cannot sense peripersonal stimuli on the left side of their body, but can perceive things further away on that side in the normal way. This suggests that there is a representation similar to those found in monkeys in the human brain, says Arvid Guterstam of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm Sweden. Now, Guterstam and his colleagues have tricked humans into feeling their peripersonal space.
