Personal space (PS) is the distance that people prefer to maintain between themselves and unfamiliar others. Interpersonal intrusion into a given persons PS evokes discomfort, and an urge to move further apart. We hypothesized that in parietal cortex: 1.

These hypotheses were tested using 7T fMRI at high spatial
