| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, we designed and developed novel methods and experimental platforms for easily manipulating human sense of body ownership based on robotics, haptics, and virtual realty technologies. Using the new technologies, we mainly challenged research projects about (1) Relationship between senses of body ownership and agency, (2) FBI study and manipulation of self-other recognition using active self-touch, (3) Manipulation of bodily awareness by using thermal displays, (4) Study on feeling of a presence, and (5) Design of novel rehabilitation system using manipulation of sense of body ownership. The major contribution was to scientifically show some novel findings about human bodily awareness and body ownership. Additionally, we implied that the findings can be employed, for instance, to design and develop novel rehabilitation system.
