The internal structure of stopping as revealed by a sensory detection task (2007)

Walsh, Eamonn, Haggard, Patrick

An important aspect of everyday behaviour is the ability to cancel a prepared movement. In Experiment 1, subjects prepared a response, and then either executed it in response to a subsequent Go...

Can vision of the body ameliorate impaired somatosensory function? (2007)

Serino, Andrea, Farnè, Alessandro, Rinaldesi, Maria Luisa, Haggard, Patrick, Làdavas, Elisabetta

Viewing the body is reported to improve tactile acuity [Kennett, S., Taylor-Clarke, M., & Haggard, P. (2001). Non-informative vision improves the spatial resolution of touch in humans. Current...

Self and Other in the Human Motor System (2006)

Schütz-Bosbach, Simone, Mancini, Benedetta, Aglioti, Salvatore M., Haggard, Patrick

Observation of another's action can selectively facilitate the brain's motor circuits for making the same action 1, 2 and 3. A “mirror-matching mechanism” might map observed actions onto the...

Having a body versus moving your body: How agency structures body-ownership (2006)

Tsakiris, Manos, Prabhu, Gita, Haggard, Patrick

We investigated how motor agency in the voluntary control of body movement influences body awareness. In the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI), synchronous tactile stimulation of a rubber hand and the...

Shared representations in body perception (2006)

Thomas, Richard, Press, Clare, Haggard, Patrick

The ability to understand events that happen to other people is a characteristic feature of the human mind. Here, we investigate whether the links between mental representation of one’s own body...

Spatial consequences of bridging the saccadic gap (2006)

Yarrow, Kielan, Whiteley, Louise, Rothwell, John C., Haggard, Patrick

We report six experiments suggesting that conscious perception is actively redrafted to take account of events both before and after the event that is reported. When observers saccade to a stationary...

The control of saccade trajectories: Direction of curvature depends on prior knowledge of target location and saccade latency (2006)

Walker, Robin, McSorley, Eugene, Haggard, Patrick

Recent reports have shown that saccades can deviate either toward or away from distractors. However, the specific conditions responsible for the change in initial saccade direction are not known. One...

Sensorimotor attenuation by central motor command signals in the absence of movement (2006)

Voss, Martin, Ingram, James, Haggard, Patrick, Wolpert, Daniel

Voluntary actions typically produce suppression of afferent sensation from the moving body part. We used transcranial magnetic stimulation to delay the output of motor commands from the motor cortex...
