Body Representation: Structure and Integration

Abstract: Moving the body often requires the coordination of parts of the body as parts of an integrated whole. Conscious experience of the body presents focally attended parts of the body as parts of an integrated whole. In this paper I explore the structure and extent of the internal representation involved in enabling these respective phenomena. In both cases I note the potential for two kinds of account, one that involves a central global representation, and one which does not. For each account, in both cases, I suggest the potential contributions made by the integrated structure of the actual body.
