Neuropsychology is a well-known intersectorial approach to contemporary research in the fields of psychology and the neurocognitive sciences. It is concerned with how phenomenal states of the individual and the social consciousness combine with the brain and the rest of the nervous system. Recent studies have shed light both on the neurobiological substrate and the functional mechanism of a minimal kind of corporeal self-consciousness known as body ownership. Researchers have demonstrated that the preservation of a coherent own-body perception by the human being implies a set of background cognitive conditions behind the flow of changing body-related sensory data: the so-called body model. The main objective of this contribution is to outline a phenomenological clarification of the neuropsychological concept of body model by applying static and genetic methods of classical constitutive phenomenology. Against recent attempts of naturalizing phenomenology, the present contribution will argue for the clarificatory role of classical constitutive phenomenology interpreted as a critical discipline.
