Abstract
ABSTRACT Feeling of body ownership is a complex process with different brain mechanisms involved in integrating the varied and multiple representations of the body . The ability to discriminate between one’s own and others’ body parts can be lost after brain damage. We report a unique case study of a patient with head injury who experienced a phenomenon where he felt that his head was positioned with another person standing next to him. We describe this as a form of pathological embodiment and call it the “head mislocalization” phenomenon. We report his clinical findings and using the methods of lesion mapping and lesion network mapping postulate the neural mechanisms for this symptom.
