On the other hand: dummy hands and peripersonal space

TR Makin, NP Holmes, HH Ehrsson - Behavioural brain research, 2008 - Elsevier
Where are my hands? The brain can answer this question using sensory information arising
from vision, proprioception, or touch. Other sources of information about the position of our …

[HTML][HTML] Brain (re) organisation following amputation: Implications for phantom limb pain

TR Makin, H Flor - Neuroimage, 2020 - Elsevier
Following arm amputation the region that represented the missing hand in primary somatosensory
cortex (S1) becomes deprived of its primary input, resulting in changed boundaries of …

Peripersonal space: a multisensory interface for body-object interactions

C Brozzoli, TR Makin, L Cardinali, NP Holmes, A Farnè - 2011 - centaur.reading.ac.uk
Research in the last four decades has brought a considerable advance in our understanding
of how the brain synthesizes information arising from different sensory modalities. Indeed, …

Is that near my hand? Multisensory representation of peripersonal space in human intraparietal sulcus

TR Makin, NP Holmes, E Zohary - Journal of Neuroscience, 2007 - Soc Neuroscience
Our ability to interact with the immediate surroundings depends not only on an adequate
representation of external space but also on our ability to represent the location of objects with …

[HTML][HTML] Phantom pain is associated with preserved structure and function in the former hand area

TR Makin, J Scholz, N Filippini… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
Phantom pain after arm amputation is widely believed to arise from maladaptive cortical
reorganization, triggered by loss of sensory input. We instead propose that chronic phantom …

[PDF][PDF] Topographic representation of the human body in the occipitotemporal cortex

T Orlov, TR Makin, E Zohary - Neuron, 2010 - cell.com
Large-scale topographic representations of the body have long been established in the
somatosensory and motor cortices. Using functional imaging, we identified a topographically …

Robotic hand augmentation drives changes in neural body representation

P Kieliba, D Clode, RO Maimon-Mor, TR Makin - Science robotics, 2021 - science.org
Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation. This
vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our brain’…

Reassessing cortical reorganization in the primary sensorimotor cortex following arm amputation

TR Makin, J Scholz, D Henderson Slater… - Brain, 2015 - academic.oup.com
… However, this shift didn’t reflect full invasion of the lips into the hand territory as previously
described, but rather a small local shift in the centre of gravity of the lips. This remapping was …

Ten common statistical mistakes to watch out for when writing or reviewing a manuscript

TR Makin, JJ Orban de Xivry - Elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
Inspired by broader efforts to make the conclusions of scientific research more robust, we
have compiled a list of some of the most common statistical mistakes that appear in the …

[PDF][PDF] Unmasking latent inhibitory connections in human cortex to reveal dormant cortical memories

HC Barron, TP Vogels, UE Emir, TR Makin, J O'shea… - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
… The directionality of this interaction was verified using post hoc t tests, which first showed
a replication of our previous findings (Figures 1I and 2B), with significant cross-stimulus …
