The brain exhibits reduced motor control over a hand when an illusion diminishes the sense of ownership. This finding highlights the brain

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Motor Control

Background:

  • The sense of body ownership is crucial for seamless motor control.
  • Illusory ownership paradigms are used to investigate the neural underpinnings of body ownership.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how a diminished sense of hand ownership affects motor control.
  • To explore the neural mechanisms linking body ownership perception to motor execution.

Main Methods:

  • Participants underwent a visuotactile illusion designed to induce a false sense of hand ownership.
  • Motor tasks measuring hand movement speed and accuracy were performed under illusory and control conditions.

Main Results:

  • A significant reduction in movement speed and accuracy was observed when participants felt the hand did not belong to them.

  • Brain activity patterns during motor tasks differed significantly between illusory and control conditions.

    • Conclusions:

    • The sense of body ownership is a critical factor modulating motor control.
    • Disrupting body ownership representation in the brain impairs the ability to execute voluntary movements.
