When we move to touch ourselves, our somatosensory perception is gradually attenuated due to the predictions of the internal forward models about the somatosensory consequences of our movements. Here...

Prevailing theories suggest that the brain uses an internal forward model to predict tactile input during voluntary movements, thereby reducing the intensity of the reafferent tactile sensation, a phe...

Our perception is shaped by prior expectations, including those about the timing of our sensations. These temporal expectations can be formed by recog…

We easily distinguish self-touch from the touch of others. This distinction is suggested to arise because the brain predicts the somatosensory consequ…
