Cyborgs, human augmentation, cybernetics, and JIZAI body
We propose a concept called “JIZAI Body” that allows each person to live the way they wish
to live in society. One who acquires a JIZAI Body can (simultaneously) control (or delegate …

Knowing the intention behind limb movements of a partner increases embodiment towards the limb of joint avatar
H Hapuarachchi, M Kitazaki - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
We explored a concept called “virtual co-embodiment”, which enables users to share their
virtual avatars with others. Co-embodiment of avatars and robots can be applied for …

Effect of connection induced upper body movements on embodiment towards a limb controlled by another during virtual co-embodiment
Even if we cannot control them, or when we receive no tactile or proprioceptive feedback
from them, limbs attached to our bodies can still provide indirect proprioceptive and haptic …
