Fooling the brain by mirroring the hand: Brain correlates of the perceptual capture of limb ownership.

CONCLUSION: Transient perceptions of ownership can be captured experimentally, and are associated with localized sites of neural activation. This is an initial step toward eventual development of therapeutic targets for interventions including brain computer interfaces (BCIs) aimed at ameliorating the negative effects associated with impaired or missing limbs.
