Shunichi Kasahara and his team have been investigating how our sense of identity is influenced by motor-visual synchrony the coordination between our physical movements and the visual feedback we receive.

They conducted psychological experiments using displays and cameras to determine where the “self-identification boundary” lies and what factors influence this boundary.

When people see their own face, they report a lower sense of agency.

On the other hand, they are more likely to feel agency when they see another person’s face.

These surprising results challenge our previous understanding of how we perceive ourselves in images.

Kasahara emphasized that the acceptance of technology in society plays a crucial role in technological advancements.
