Nevertheless, whether and how the illusion of owning a new body part affects human perception, and in particular pain detection, is still poorly investigated. Recent findings have shown that seeing one's own body is analgesic, but it is not known whether this effect is transferable to newly embodied, but exogenous, body parts. In recent years, results from our laboratory have demonstrated that a virtual body can be felt as one's own, provided realistic multisensory correlations.9 p.application/pdfeng(c) European Federation of the International Association for the Study of Pain Chapters (EFIC), 2014Tractament del dolorCos humàPain treatmentHuman bodyModulation of pain threshold by virtual body ownershipinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6313372015-02-02info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
