E-Mail Evidence that a sense of our physical selves can develop even without the sense of touch has been uncovered in a new study by researchers in the UK and the United States. The research shows that if someone loses their sense of touch and proprioception - their sense of body position - as an adult, they may learn compensatory skills using visual cues and conscious thought, or reasoning, to move their bodies. Someone who has never had a sense of touch or proprioception, however, can find faster, unconscious ways of processing visual cues to move and orient themselves. A team at the University of Birmingham collaborated with researchers at Bournemouth University and the University of Chicago on the study, published in ....
Study shows that physical embodiment can occur without sense of touch Researchers at the University of Chicago, the University of Birmingham, and Bournemouth University have uncovered evidence that physical embodiment can occur without the sense of touch, thanks to a study involving two participants who lack the ability to feel touch. The research was published on Feb. 12 in Experimental Brain Research. The transatlantic collaboration emerged from ongoing research with two unique individuals Kim, based in the U.S., and Ian, based in the U.K. While most people who participate in research studies are referred to by their initials, Kim and Ian have agreed to be identified by their first names. Their last names are not being used to protect their privacy. ....
Human Brain Helps Tap into Visual Cues When Lacking a Sense of Touch by Colleen Fleiss on February 16, 2021 at 11:21 PM A new study has uncovered evidence that physical embodiment can occur without the sense of touch.

When others are moving around us, it makes time seem to pass slower It s not just love: all biological movement seems to slow down time. A recent scientific study published in Experimental Brain Research has found that biological movement makes time seemingly pass slower. According to the study, this is not the case for non-biological movement. Image credits: Fitsum Admasu. “Visual motion stimuli can sometimes distort our perception of time. This effect is dependent on the apparent speed of the moving stimulus, where faster stimuli are usually perceived lasting longer than slower stimuli,” the researchers explain. The research was conducted at ABC Federal University (São Paulo, Brazil) and collected data from 30 students. The researchers’ goal was to evaluate how humans perceive the elapsed time when watching a video of a person running (biological movement) and a non-biological geometrical shape moving on a pendular way. ....
