How does the brain integrate artificial body extensions? Using a custom-built finger-extending exoskeleton, we show that wearable augmentations are quickly integrated into body representation, with proprioceptive space adapting to the device’s structure and function.

Adolescents with Restrictive Eating Disorder show greater biases in abdomen localization. Hand perception biases were similar across groups, with no tactile acuity differences, suggesting early, body-part-specific distortions.

Humans project tactile sensations from a tool into space, as if part of the body. How? We show tactile feedback is projected into gaze-centered coordinates, offering a framework for tool-based sensory projection.
