Research Abstract |
This study aimed to investigate the body schema and spatial recognition. Body schema is the system to recognize one's and other's body. Body schema allows you to integrate information from proprioception, vision, audition,the vestibular system, tactile sensing, and from the motor system in order to keep an up-to-date representation of the positions of the different body parts in space, and to understand what someone else is doing. In this study, I conducted three researches ; a group study of Parkinson's disease, analyses of a case with superior temporal sulcus lesion and with inferior frontal lesion.
