Abstract

A successful substitution of an upper limb is possible when the prosthesis is recognized by amputees as a part of their body scheme. A new system alternative to functional magnetic resonance imaging for evaluating the sense of ownership during the rubber hand experiment, using noninvasive electroencephalography recordings, is described, and encouraging results are presented.
