New reflections on agency and body ownership : The moving rubber hand illusion in the mirror [PDF]
No previous study has simultaneously examined body ownership and agency in healthy subjects during mirror self-observation. We used a moving rubber hand illusion to examine how both body ownership and agency are affected by seeing (i) the body moving in ...

Drumming in immersive virtual reality: the body shapes the way we play [PDF]
It has been shown that it is possible to generate perceptual illusions of ownership in immersive virtual reality (IVR) over a virtual body seen from first person perspective, in other words over a body that visually substitutes the person's real body ...

What colour is my arm? Changes in skin colour of an embodied virtual arm modulates pain threshold
It has been demonstrated that visual inputs can modulate pain. However, the influence of skin colour on pain perception is unknown. Red skin is associated to inflamed, hot and more sensitive skin while blue is associated to cold. We aimed to test whether
