Abstract
This study explores how interoceptive sensibility can affect body representations (BR) after left and right brain-damage. Excessive attention toward internal body signals significantly affects non-action-oriented BR, regardless of the lesion side. The disconnection of tracts involved in building first and second-order representations of the self could account for this finding.
