Recent studies suggest the existence of a visuo-tactile mirror system, comprising the primary (SI) and secondary (SII) somatosensory cortices, which matches observed touch with felt touch. Here, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was used to determine whether SI or SII play a functi
Four experiments are reported which involved the adjustment of two points of light in an otherwise dark room to the visual vertical. In the first two experiments different point separations (corresponding to visual angles of about 2 ~ and 23 ~ ) were employed in an attempt to control the degree of s
## Abstract Twenty‐nine patients with idiopathic spasmodic torticollis (ST) and matched normal control subjects were asked to align a target line to perceived earth vertical [visual vertical (VV)]. Settings were made against a whole‐field random‐dot background that was either stationary or rotating
