“…Is it possible to "embody" external objects, such as prosthetics or tools, that is, to treat or regard them as in some important sense actually part of our bodies? Most of the literature concludes that people can extend the borders of the physical body to temporarily incorporate different prosthetics, such as rubber hands, into their body image (i.e., their conscious beliefs regarding their bodies; see Botvinick and Cohen, 1998;Ehrsson et al, 2004Ehrsson et al, , 2005Ehrsson et al, , 2008Tsakiris and Haggard, 2005;Tsakiris et al, 2006;Marasco et al, 2011;D'Alonzo and Cipriani, 2012;D'Alonzo et al, 2014;Collins et al, 2016), and certain external objects, such as tools, into their body schema (i.e., their unconscious knowledge of their bodies and its capacities; see Cardinali et al, 2009bCardinali et al, , 2012Sposito et al, 2012;Baccarini et al, 2014;Garbarini et al, 2015). Several studies indicate that there are surprisingly few constraints on incorporating objects into either of these two kinds of body representations.…”
