Body Schema

The brain's dynamic representation of body position and boundaries in space — "where I am" in relation to the environment.

Body schema is the brain's unconscious, constantly updated representation of the body's position, posture, and boundaries in space. It integrates proprioception, vestibular input, and tactile feedback to create a coherent "body map."

Key Functions

  • Spatial self — where limbs and torso are in 3D space
  • Movement planning — required for coordinated action
  • Body boundaries — the felt edge between "me" and "not me"
  • Dynamic — updates in real time with movement and sensation

In ONDA Life

Part 13 targets "Synchronizing the Body Schema (where I am) and the Body Image (how I feel) into a single stream of ultra-precise data." This is the foundation for high-precision sensory intelligence.
