SUMMARY:Being an I: Cognitive and Neurobiological processes of “Self” 
 models - Dr. Roy Salomon

CONTACT:Tristan Bekinschtein
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps the most fundamental construct of the human psyche is 
 the sense of self. “Self” models are present at several distinct level
 s of cognition and underlie essential phenomenological aspects of the huma
 n experience\, from the feeling of being an embodied agent in this world t
 o our personal autobiographical narrative. Despite the dominant role the o
 f the “Self” in our psychology\, the cognitive and neural mechanisms u
 nderlying this construct are not well understood. In this talk I will show
  how the brain integrates interoceptive\, sensory and especially motor sig
 nals to form the fundamental model of the bodily self\, allowing us the co
 rporeal experience of “being” in this world.  I will further discuss h
 ow the self can be compromised in neurological and psychiatric conditions 
 highlighting the role of deviant sensorimotor processing in modulating the
  models of the Self.
