Contribution of interaction force to the sense of hand ownership and the sense of hand agency

Abstract When performing willed actions, we have the unified and coherent experience of owning and controlling our body. Body ownership is believed to emerge from the integration of coherent multisensory signals, while agency is believed to emerge from the coherence between predicted and perceived o...
