Peripersonal space in the front, rear, left and right directions for audio-tactile multisensory integration

Abstract Peripersonal space (PPS) is important for humans to perform body–environment interactions. However, many previous studies only focused on the specific direction of the PPS, such as the front space, despite suggesting that there were PPSs in all directions. We aimed to measure and compare th...
