Octopuses Fall for the Rubber Hand Illusion, Just Like Humans, Pointing to a Sense of Body Ownership: The trick that plays with awareness of one’s own limb appeared to fool all six of the cephalopods tested… @SmithsonianMag #Octopuses #RubberHandIllusion #BodyOwnership #Cephalopods #AnimalBehavior

The rubber-hand illusion was translated to the mouse model. Just like in humans, embodiment in mice can be achieved by brushing the real forelimb of the mouse and the artificial limb (yellow) in synchrony to generate matching visual and touch percepts. This study suggests that as the mouse looks at the artificial limb, it perceives it as its own limb, and feels threatened if the artificial limb is threatened. Image credit: Luc Estebanez.
