New Insights from the Rubber Hand Illusion
A recent study has uncovered fascinating insights into how mice perceive artificial limbs. Researchers conducted experiments reminiscent of the Rubber Hand Illusion, a well-known test that explores the concept of body ownership. It turns out that these little creatures can indeed experience a sense of embodiment when interacting with artificial limbs.
This finding is groundbreaking as it sheds light on the potential for prosthetics to be integrated into the lives of both animals and humans. Understanding how embodiment works in mice could lead to advancements in prosthetic technology. It raises important questions about how we define our bodies and the boundaries of our physical selves.
