The focus of this chapter is how the material body is represented in the brain. The aim is to demonstrate the neural mechanisms underpinning body representation in order to show how the sense of self is experienced as embodied. Furthermore, given the underlying mechanisms underpinning the integration of self and body, how to understand the possibility of a separation of self and body as seen in autoscopy. I rely on the experiments of Olaf Blanke and his group in this regard.
