Body Ownership

Body ownership refers to the sense of having control over and belonging to one's own body. It's the feeling that your body is your own and that you can move it intentionally. This concept is important in understanding how we perceive ourselves and interact with the world. Disruptions in body ownership can occur in certain neurological conditions or after traumatic experiences, leading individuals to feel disconnected from their bodies. Researchers study body ownership to better understand human consciousness, identity, and experiences related to mental and physical health.
