Augmentation-related brain plasticity
2014
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience
In these areas, multisensory integration neurons enlarge their receptive fields to embody supernumerary limbs. ...
Augmentation modifies function and structure of a number of areas, i.e., primary sensory cortices shape their receptive fields to become sensitive to novel inputs. ...

Being an Avatar "for Real": a Survey on Virtual Embodiment in Augmented Reality
2021
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
Our goal is (i) to guide readers through the different options and challenges linked to the implementation of AR embodiment systems, (ii) to provide a better understanding of AR embodiment perception by ...
To do so, we introduce a taxonomy of virtual embodiment experiences by defining a "body avatarization" continuum. ...
As a consequence, they also argue that embodiment in AR could produce the same changes in behavior that were observed in VR. ...

Augmented manipulation ability in humans with six-fingered hands
2019
Nature Communications
Neurotechnology attempts to develop supernumerary limbs, but can the human brain deal with the complexity to control an extra limb and yield advantages from it? ...
Anatomical MRI of the supernumerary finger (SF) revealed that it is actuated by extra muscles and nerves, and fMRI identified a distinct cortical representation of the SF. ...
We thank Claudia Clopath, Nicolas Rojas and Stephen Scott for comments on an earlier version of this manuscript and Dmitry Kobak for comments on parts of the analyses. ...

Assessment of Myoelectric Controller Performance and Kinematic Behavior of a Novel Soft Synergy-Inspired Robotic Hand for Prosthetic Applications
2016
Frontiers in Neurorobotics
We believe that one key factor to improve acceptability of prosthetic devices is to attain human likeness of prosthesis movements, a goal which is being pursued by research on social and human-robot interactions ...
Myoelectric artificial limbs can significantly advance the state of the art in prosthetics, since they can be used to control mechatronic devices through muscular activity in a way that mimics how the ...

On Eliciting a Sense of Self when Integrating with Computers
2022
Augmented Humans 2022
Figure 1 : We argue that eliciting a sense of self allows for user experiences such as "I did that (with my body)", going beyond "I made the machine do that (for me)" and "The machine did that (for me) ...
", which is often the current approach when it comes to physical integration of computer systems. ...
Researchers argue that eliciting a sense of self could eliminate such disruptive experiences and lead to improvements in protective behavior [17] , availability expectations [26, 27, 63] , and help avoid ...
