Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present research project, we have developed novel technologies based on robotics and haptics to "smartly confuse" human body perception, and have tried to reveal underlying mechanism for experimentally manipulating human self-other distinction through our bodies. In details, several studies demonstrated that our new experimental systems using active self-touch etc. allowed to experimentally manipulate human self-other distinction as well as body perception, indicating important findings for revealing their underlying mechanism. Additionally, our studies suggested that the developed systems are useful to study the generating mechanisms of hallucinatory experiences, such as presence hallucination, which have been often reported by the patients with psychiatry and neurodegenerative diseases.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ロボティクス技術やハプティクス技術をヒトの身体認知や自他認識操作に利用することは,世界でも類を見ない新しい試みであり,学術的意義は高いと言える.また,アクティブセルフタッチ技術などを利用した実験システムを複数開発してヒトの身体認知や自他認識の実験的操作を可能にしたことにより,身体認知研究や身体錯覚研究などにおいてパラダイムシフトをもたらすことができたものと考える.さらに,本研究で開発した技術や得られた知見の適用範囲は認知科学分野にとどまらず,例えば身体認知や自他認識に問題のある疾患の早期発見などにも貢献できる可能性を秘めているものと考える.
