Fig. 1: Setup and paradigm of the experiment.
From: Embodiment modifies attention allotment for the benefit of dual task performance
a The participants performed the experiment in a virtual environment. They wore a head-mounted display and sat on a table with a keyboard under their right hand. They held the Virtuose haptic interface in their left hand. In the virtual environment, the participants observed a table and a right hand with the keyboard (upper panel). They saw a robot arm instead of their left arm. The robot left hand held a black banana-shaped object that was the shape of the handle of the haptic interface the participants held in their real left hand. The participants were also shown a pink ball which moved near the robot's hand/arm. b The participants worked in two conditions, EMB and no-EMB. Each condition consisted of five phases, and lasted 20 min in total.
