The sense of bodily self seems a straightforward concept at first sight but quickly becomes a mystery when looking closer. Having one unique body seems an evidence, but this sense of bodily self is altered in many instances: out-of-body experiences can occur during meditation or experimental approaches, and can happen in many different pathologies, from vestibular syndromes to psychosis. The mystery is how we achieve the integration of multiple sources of information into the experience of one unique sense of self, and still have access to these threads of information seperately. The sense of bodily self indeed recovers interoceptive, proprioceptive, vestibular and tactile, information, but also agency, body ownership, or the fact that we perceive our environment via these bodily perception channels. Many models have been proposed, and the speakers in this conference will approach the question of the bodily self from different perspectives and disciplines, such as philosophy, experimental psychology neuroscience and psychiatry. The aim of the conference is precisely to bring together specialists of these complementary approaches to discuss the most recent models and data, convergences and divergences.

Warning! There is limited space in the conference room (100 seats). Registration will be accepted on a first come first served basis.

Poster submission will be possible until the 15th january, and will be reviewed by the selection committee
