| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to investigate the adaptive plasticity of the human body from multidimensional perspectives by implementing a virtual environment in which the sensorimotor correspondence in the human upper limb is experimentally altered. The results showed the possibility of a unified interpretation of the learning or control processes of the body and tools through the concept of coordinate transformation. They also confirmed the importance of the motor planning function in motor execution in relation to brain dysfunction. Furthermore, we obtained a new idea, never proposed before, namely that it is necessary to consider the global environment (gravity) itself when considering the phenomenon of embodiment or the concept of the body.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果は，「ヒトとは何か」「身体とは何か」という根源的な問題に答えるいくつかの理論的示唆を提供するものである。また，心理学研究と運動制御研究を組み合わせることにより，知覚と運動という両側面から身体を捉えることを可能とした点でも学術的な意義が大きい。このような成果は，モノづくり，スポーツ，リハビリテーションの分野に応用できる可能性がある。特に，脳機能障害との関連において，運動行為の実行に困難を抱える患者に対して，運動計画機能の訓練が重要であることを確認した点で，大きな社会的意義がある。
