How do we perceive our body and where is it represented in our
brain? Since decades it has been known that the primary
somatosensory cortex (or SI) codes the surface of our body in a
topographical way. Classic studies understand this body map
representation in SI as fix and reflecting the physical location of
peripheral stimulation in the form of the famous somatosensory
homunculus. This book reports results of recent studies that
challenge this view and suggest a more complex role of SI.
