Perceiving and Mentally Rotating Real and Artificial Hands (JPO036-3b)
This course explores the role of motor imagery in processing hand laterality judgments, particularly in relation to both real and artificial prosthetic hands. The study investigates the biomechanical constraints effect (BCE) and how it influences reaction times when participants judge the laterality of hands, including realistic and mechanical prosthetics. The findings suggest that while motor imagery plays a role in processing both real and prosthetic hands, further research is needed to understand differences in perception, especially for users of prosthetic hands.
