Modulation of pain threshold by virtual body ownership.
BACKGROUND Appropriate sensorimotor correlations can result in the illusion of ownership of exogenous body parts. Nevertheless, whether and how the illusion of owning a new body part affects human perception, and in particular pain detection, is still poorly investigated. Recent findings have shown that seeing one's own body is analgesic, but it is not known whether this effect is transferable ...
متن کاملThe body fades away: investigating the effects of transparency of an embodied virtual body on pain threshold and body ownership
The feeling of "ownership" over an external dummy/virtual body (or body part) has been proven to have both physiological and behavioural consequences. For instance, the vision of an "embodied" dummy or virtual body can modulate pain perception. However, the impact of partial or total invisibility of the body on physiology and behaviour has been hardly explored since it presents obvious difficul...
متن کاملBody ownership illusions in virtual reality Inducing illusory ownership of a virtual body
We discuss three experiments that investigate how virtual limbs and bodies can come to feel like real limbs and bodies. The first experiment shows that an illusion of ownership of a virtual arm appearing to project out of a person’s shoulder can be produced by tactile stimulation on a person’s hidden real hand and synchronous stimulation on the seen virtual hand. The second shows that the illus...

متن کاملBody Ownership of Virtual Avatars: An Affordance Approach of Telepresence
Abstract: Interaction with and graphical representation of avatars in virtual environments is an increasing trend of our cyber-society. However, there is a lack of knowledge about how the human being deals with these computational beings. Projects in the field of telepresence seek to understand the human ability to achieve a distal attribution of him/herself, also known as ownership [1]. A larg...
