Felt Presence and Psychosis Risk in the General Population
Abstract. Objective: Felt presence (FP) is the experience that another entity is present in one’s proximal environment, despite no sensory evidence. Occurrence of FP is linked to psychosis risk, but q...

What if many psychiatric disorders share the same hidden glitch in how the brain infers reality? In a new volume, Al Powers and I gather experts to examine how disrupted sensory inference across #vision, #touch, #proprioception and #interoception might unify our understanding.

We find a reduced self-other distinction in psychosis 😶🌫️, including increased neural activity during self-touch 🧠, reduced latency differences already at the *spinal cord* level 😲, and diminished interoceptive accuracy 🫀.
