Research on embodiment of objects external to the human body has revealed important
information about how the human nervous system interacts with robotic lower limb …

Here we offer a thorough review of the empirical literature on the conditions under which an
object, such as a tool or a prosthetic (whether real or virtual), can be experienced as being in …

Posterior parietal cortex (PPC) has been implicated in sensory and motor processing, but its
underlying organization is still debated. Sensory-based accounts suggest that PPC is mainly …

Somatosensation greatly increases the ability to control our natural body. This suggests that
supplementing vision with haptic sensory feedback would also be helpful when a user aims …

In human movement augmentation, the number of controlled degrees of freedom could be
enhanced by the simultaneous and independent use of supernumerary robotic limbs (SRL) …

Humans evolution is distinctly characterized by their exquisite mastery of tools, allowing
them to shape their environment in more elaborate ways compared to other species. This …

Tool use is one of the most remarkable skills of the human species, enabling complex
interactions with the environment. To establish such interactions, we predict the sensory …

Many mental disorders are accompanied by distortions in the way the own body is perceived
and represented (eg, eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder including muscle …

This review aims to explore what I call the “Embodiment Cost Hypothesis”(ECH), according
to which, when humans “embody” a part of the world other than their bodies, a measurable …

Proprioception provides crucial information necessary for determining limb position and
movement, and plausibly also for updating internal models that might underlie the control of …
