Virtual reality (VR) is a promising tool to promote motor (re) learning in healthy users and
brain-injured patients. However, in current VR-based motor training, movements of the users …

Introduction Many researchers took advantage of the well‐established rubber hand illusion
(RHI) paradigm to explore the link between the sense of body ownership and the different …

The embodied self is rooted in the self-body in the “here and now”. The senses of self-
ownership and self-agency have been proposed as the basis of the sense of embodied self …

When we successfully achieve willed actions, the feeling that our moving body parts belong
to the self (ie, body ownership) is barely required. However, how and to what extent the …

The rubber hand illusion (RHI) is one of the most commonly used paradigms to examine the
sense of body ownership. Touches are synchronously applied to the real hand, hidden from …

Sensory attenuation (ie, the phenomenon whereby self-produced sensations are perceived
as less intense compared to externally occurring ones) is among the neurocognitive …

The brain mechanism of embodiment in a virtual body has grown a scientific interest
recently, with a particular focus on providing optimal virtual reality (VR) experiences …

The sense of body ownership, the feeling that one's body belongs to oneself, is a crucial
subjective conscious experience of one's body. Recent methodological advances regarding …

In immersive virtual reality, the own body is often visually represented by an avatar. This may
induce a feeling of body ownership over the virtual limbs. Importantly, body ownership and …

Recent findings suggest that body ownership can activate the motor system in the absence
of movement execution. Here, we investigated whether such a process promotes motor …
