Amcanion cyffredinol

The true nature of the self has long fascinated psychologists, neuroscientists and philosophers. However, we know that the self-representation is highly multidimensional, made up of many different types of information and experiences. In this module, we look at the diverse types of representations that come together to make “you”, with a particular focus on the body. We first learn about the basic mechanisms of self-awareness, including body ownership and agency, and experiment with fun body illusions to explore what information the brain requires to generate these ongoing experiences. We use this foundational knowledge to go deeper into topical themes including virtual reality, prosthetic and robotic limbs, and to understand clinical disorders related to bodily self-awareness including anorexia, body dysmorphia and depersonalisation. Importantly, the way we experience our bodies is not only relevant to the self, but also influences how we perceive and interact with others. In the second main theme of the module, we learn about the striking sociocognitive effects of embodying a different person, for example in virtual reality, on our attitudes and beliefs, and discuss the future implications this might have for our increasingly ‘virtual’ social lives. Finally, we shift our focus, from the body as experienced from the outside, to the body from within. Interoception, defined as the “awareness of physical sensations from inside the body”, plays a crucial role in a wide range of cognitive and emotional psychological processes. In the third theme of the module, we delve deeply into this neglected “sixth sense”, understanding how it forms an essential basis of self-consciousness, how it is implicated in a number of clinical psychological disorders, and how it may be linked to mindfulness. Overall, this module aims to provide you with an in-depth understanding of how the body is represented in the mind, the embodied basis of self-consciousness, and the huge importance this has for social cognition, mental health and wellbeing.

Cynnwys cwrs

This module will provide a solid theoretical understanding of the central topics within self-representation, and how they link to other key areas of psychology including perception, social cognition, and clinical disorders. Relevant empirical evidence will be presented throughout, to provide a detailed review of key neuroscientific, behavioural and psychophysiological techniques.

Main themes include:

Is This Me? We will explore the basic, fundamental mechanisms of self-consciousness, including body ownership (how we know what is part of our body and what is not) and agency (the feeling of control over our own actions).

Changing Bodies, Changing Minds: We will learn about the role of self-body representations in social cognition, and how we can use bodily illusions, synchronous movements and virtual reality to induce changes in social attitudes and stereotypes.

Gut feelings: We will introduce the “sixth sense”, interoception, which tells you what is happening inside your body. We explore why interoception is considered to be the fundamental basis of self-awareness, how it plays a crucial role in our cognition, decision making, emotional and social functioning, and how it can affect our mental health.
