Mere observation of body discontinuity affects perceived ownership and vicarious agency over a virtual hand

G Tieri, E Tidoni, EF Pavone, SM Aglioti - Experimental brain research, 2015 - Springer
The mental representation of one's body typically implies the continuity of its parts. Here, we
used immersive virtual reality to explore whether mere observation of visual discontinuity …

Body ownership increases the interference between observed and executed movements
