2022, Neuroscience LettersCitation Excerpt :Even when the observed body parts are unrelated to the stimulated body district [6], body observation has been extensively reported to enhance tactile sensitivity [7,8] and spatial resolution of touch [9–11], with stronger effects if the observed stimulus coincides with the observer's body features [12]. This effect, usually named “visual enhancement of touch” (VET) [8,9,13], suggests an important relationship between tactile perception and the internal representation of the body [14], whose mechanisms are still largely unknown. According to some authors, VET might arise from a top–down modulation of SI (primary somatosensory cortex) exerted by multisensory representations in the posterior parietal cortex (e.g., [15–17]).
