Crossmodal representation of a functional robotic hand arises after extensive training in healthy participants

The way in which humans represent their own bodies is critical in guiding their interactions with the environment. To achieve successful body–space interactions, the body representation is strictly connected with that of the space immediately surrounding it through efficient visuo-tactile crossmodal integration. Such a body–space integrated representation is not fixed, but can be dynamically modulated by the use of external tools. Our study aims...
