Viewing one’s own face being touched modulates tactile perception: An fMRI study
Abstract
The perception of tactile stimuli on the face is modulated if subjects concurrently observe a face being touched; this effect, termed visual remapping of touch (VRT), is maximum for observing one's own face. In the present fMRI study, we investigated the neural basis of the VRT effect. Participants in the scanner received tactile stimuli, near the perceptual threshold, on their right, left, or both cheeks. Concurrently, they watched movies depicting their own face, another person's face, or a ball that could be touched or only approached by human fingers. Participants were requested to distinguish between unilateral and bilateral tactile stimulation. Behaviorally, perception of tactile stimuli was modulated by viewing a tactile stimulation, with a stronger effect when viewing one's own face being touched. In terms of brain activity, viewing touch was related with an enhanced activity in the ventral intraparietal area. The specific effect of viewing touch on oneself was instead related with a reduced activity in both the ventral premotor cortex and the somatosensory cortex. The present findings suggest that VRT is supported by a network of fronto-parietal areas. The ventral intraparietal area might remap visual information about touch onto tactile processing. Ventral premotor cortex might specifically modulate multisensory interaction when sensory information is related to one's own body. Then this activity might back project to the somatosensory cortices, thus affecting tactile perception.

The vPMc was activated more when the seen face belonged to another person, rather than to themselves.
“In addition, the vPMc was activated more when the seen face belonged to another person, rather than to themselves (see also Serino, Pizzoferrato, & Ladavas, 2008).”

The vPMc is active when subjects received tactile stimulation on their own face and viewed another face being touched.
“Cardini et al. (2011) have recently shown that the vPMc is active when subjects received tactile stimulation on their own face and viewed another face being touched.”

Looking at one's own face whilst experiencing touch reduces activity in the somatosensory cortex and the multisensory Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG), as compared to looking at another's face and experiencing touch.
“Similarly it has been shown that looking at one’s own face whilst experiencing touch reduces activity in the (unimodal) somtosensory cortex and the multisensory Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG), as compared to the activity evoked by looking at another’s face and experiencing touch (Cardini et al., 2011).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
