Unfeasible Object experiment: Raised platform (1), brush (2), clay object (3), the participant (4), the experimenter (5).<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Rubber Hand Illusion [RHI] shows it is possible to convince participants that a rubber hand is their own by placing it in front of them while stroking it in the same way as their hidden real hand. The unfeasible object experiment uses a self-made clay object in place of the rubber hand to test the possibilities of this illusion. Furthermore, clay affords a further potential of changing the shape of the object during the experiment. Does the act of making an object increase our potential to feel ownership over an otherwise unfeasible object? What is the role of imagination in this illusion? And how do actions, i.e., how these objects are made and handled, affect how these objects are embodied?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
