there’s a lot of interest in robotics
community how can we extend the human
body not only with advanced prosthetic
limbs for for amputees but maybe for
exoskeletons and then of course the
question is at what point do these
external devices become part of your own
body representation from point do start
to feed that this is really me sitting
in the lab with Henrik and andreas one
of Hendrix postdocs I’m about to be put
through the rubber hand experiment and
then put your arm here onto the table
and inside this little box here come
here right side in so what I would do
now I will touch your index finger with
the brush here and please look to the to
the next finger of the hand here okay
with my hand hidden from view andreas
starts to stroke my index finger and the
index finger of the rubber hand in
almost perfect synchrony
what do you experience I think it is
genuinely beginning to become hard to
tell whether yeah I mean it’s beginning
to feel like yeah yeah I’m buying it
that you’re rapping that you’re swiping
that hand part of my brain is telling me
that it’s not possible that that’s
happening you know and then when you’re
not touching it I go now not happening
then you touch it I’m like yeah I’m
feeling it there
it’s totally now just it doesn’t even
there’s no question that that’s my hand
that that’s what you’re touching alright
that that’s the first experiment that’s
crazy
that’s super crazy and when they connect
my finger with the rubber hands finger
and introduce movement to the experiment
well now the illusion gets totally
surreal that’s really weird
oh that’s nuts
there was a real moment where it
suddenly switched and I was like now
this isn’t working and then suddenly now
it’s just again the more I’m doing it
but listening now I’m not doing anything
now are you crazy I’m doing that crazy
that’s more so as it goes on you have
opted official that’s amazing
then touch it Wow if they can add a
rubber hand to my body that easily I can
only imagine what they could do with a
little more effort and planning
