TL;DR
FMRI data reveal important similarities between human and non-human primates in the network of brain areas involved in the multisensory representation of limb position.
Abstract
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in humans, we identified regions of cortex involved in the encoding of limb position. Tactile stimulation of the right hand, across the body midline, activated the right parietal cortex when the eyes were closed; activation shifted to a left parietofrontal network when the eyes were open. These data reveal important similarities between human and non-human primates in the network of brain areas involved in the multisensory representation of limb position.

NatureRubber hands ‘feel’ touch that eyes see
4,416 Citations1998Matthew Botvinick, Jonathan Cohen
An illusion in which tactile sensations are referred to an alien limb is reported, which reveals a three-way interaction between vision, touch and proprioception, and may supply evidence concerning the basis of bodily self-identification.
Nature NeuroscienceMaintaining internal representations: the role of the human superior parietal lobe
736 Citations1998Daniel M. Wolpert, Susan J. Goodbody +1 more
This work reports a patient with a lesion of the superior parietal lobe who shows both sensory and motor deficits consistent with an inability to maintain such an internal representation of the body's state between updates, and suggests that the superior Parietal lobe is critical for sensorimotor integration.
Psychological ScienceVisual Capture of Touch: Out-of-the-Body Experiences With Rubber Gloves
605 Citations2000Francesco Pavani, Charles Spence +1 more
It is shown that vision can capture tactile localization, and participants were more likely to report the illusion of feeling touch at the rubber hands when they were spatially aligned with the participant's own hands.
Current Opinion in NeurobiologyMotor and cognitive functions of the ventral premotor cortex
584 Citations2002Giacomo Rizzolatti, Leonardo Fogassi +1 more
Preliminary evidence suggests that the ventral part of the lateralPremotor cortex in humans may correspond to monkey area F4, and a tentative map of the human lateral premotor areas founded on the reviewed evidence is presented.
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesWhere is my arm? The relative role of vision and proprioception in the neuronal representation of limb position
505 Citations1999Michael S. A. Graziano
The present experiment shows that the position of the arm is represented in the premotor cortex of the monkey (Macaca fascicularis) brain by means of a convergence of visual cues and proprioceptive cues onto the same neurons.
Nature NeuroscienceReversal of subjective temporal order due to arm crossing
424 Citations2001Shinya Yamamoto, Shigeru Kitazawa
It is suggested that it is not until the spatial locations of the hands are taken into account that the cutaneous signals from the respective hands are ordered in time.
Cognitive Brain ResearchConfusing the mind by crossing the hands
291 Citations2002David I. Shore, Emily Spry +1 more
It is argued that the decline in tactile discrimination performance when the hands are crossed reflects a failure to represent appropriately near simultaneous bimanual tactile stimuli, and stands in marked contrast to many recent observations of efficient remapping of singly-presented tactile stimuli.

117 Citations1996Jennifer M. Groh, David L. Sparks
Differences in accuracy, reaction time, and saccade velocity suggest that the main sequence or velocity-amplitude relationship characteristic of saccades depends on the modality of the target.
NeuroreportSubjective image of invisible hand coded by monkey intraparietal neurons
102 Citations2000Shigeru Obayashi, Michio Tanaka +1 more
Monkeys can maintain and update subjective body images in the mind, and they are coded by intraparietal bimodal neurons.
Experimental Brain ResearchSeeing or not seeing where your hands are
95 Citations2000Elisabetta Làdavas, Alessandro Farnè +2 more
Whether cross-modal links between touch and vision in the peripersonal space centered on the hand could be mediated by proprioceptive signals specifying the current hand positions or if they directly reflect an interaction between two sensory modalities, i.e., vision and touch is verified.

82 Citations2001Charles Spence, Alan Kingstone +2 more
The results showed that the congruency effects from distracting lights followed the hand around in space in normal people, but failed to do so in the split-brain patient when the hand crossed the midline, suggesting that cross-cortical connections are required to remap visual space to the current hand position when the hands crosses the midlines.

The ipsilateral MA is activated for movements — even simple — performed with the non-dominant hand, and there is widespread functional activity, involving both contralateral and ipsilaterally SMA, for complex movements.

The vibrotactile RT task provides a promising method for quantifying disability during the various phases of the neglect syndrome and Overt and covert attentional strategies and spatial asymmetries in normal subjects and patients with unilateral attention deficits are discussed.
