It also established the idea that there is a double dissociation, whereby body schema and body image refer to two different but closely related systems. Given that many kinds of pathological cases can be described in terms of body schema and body image (phantom limbs, asomatognosia, apraxia, schizophrenia, anorexia, depersonalization, and body dysmorphic disorder, among others), we might expect to find a growing consensus about these concepts and the relevant neural activities connected to these systems. Instead, an examination of the scientific literature reveals continued ambiguity and disagreement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume brings together leading experts from the fields of philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry in a lively and productive dialogue. It explores fundamental questions about the relationship between body schema and body image, and addresses ongoing debates about the role of the brain and the role of social and cultural factors in our understanding of embodiment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYochai Ataria, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor, Tel-Hai College, Israel\u003c\/em\u003e, Shogo Tanaka, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Psychology and Philosophy, Tokai University, Japan\u003c\/em\u003e, Shaun Gallagher, \u003cem\u003eLillian and Morrie Moss Professor of Excellence in Philosophy, University of Memphis, USA, and Professorial Fellow, School of Liberal Arts, University of Wollongong, Australia\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYochai Ataria\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Associate Professor at Tel-Hai College, Israel.
