DESCRIPTION:Prof Andrea Serino\nPeripersonal space (PPS) defines the porti
 on of space where interactions between our body and the external environme
 nt more likely occur. There is no physical boundary defining the PPS with 
 respect to the extrapersonal space\, but PPS is continuously constructed b
 y a dedicated neural system integrating external stimuli and tactile stimu
 li on the body\, as a function of their potential interaction. This mechan
 ism represents a primary interface between the individual and the environm
 ent.\nIn this talk\, I will present most recent evidence and highlight the
  current debate about the neural and computational mechanisms of PPS\, its
  main functions and properties. I will discuss novel data showing how PPS 
 dynamically shapes to optimize body-environment interactions. I will descr
 ibe a novel electrophysiological paradigm to study and measure PPS\, and s
 how how this has been used to search for a basic marker of potentials of s
 elf-environment interaction in newborns and patients with disorders of con
 sciousness. Finally\, I will discuss how PPS is also involved in\, and in 
 turn shaped by\, social interactions.\nUnder these acceptances\, I will di
 scuss how PPS plays a key role in self-consciousness.  \n \n\nSuggested 
 papers:\nSerino A. Peripersonal space (PPS) as a multisensory interface be
 tween the individual and the environment\, defining the space of the self.
