The role of interaction in virtual embodiment: Effects of the virtual hand representation (2016, background): “fr ter the user’s self perception and/or behavior? Virtual reality is a powerful tool to answer these questions as the user’s avatar can be altered in numerous ways in order to assess changes in the sense of embodiment and behavior [15].”

Towards a Standardized Questionnaire (2018, background): “…the body (body ownership), which can be inﬂuenced by the external appearance of the body and the ability to control the actions of the body (agency), and the possibility to feel the sensorial events directed to the body (such as touch) (Carruthers, 2008; Longo et al., 2008; Kilteni et al., 2012a).”
