ABSTRACT
Recent research in psychology and cognitive neuroscience suggests that the experience of the own body can be experimentally manipulated by using different kinds of multisensory illusions. Here I discuss how a variant of the rubber hand illusion paradigm based on movements can help us to investigate two critical components in the experience of the body: the sense of ownership and sense of agency. This paradigm offers new insights into the role of movements for our experience of the body, and creates new challenges for our understanding how ownership and agency interact when we move.
