New, expanded preprint! Sensorimotor training makes a finger-extending exoskeleton feel lighter, suggesting active use helps wearable augmentation become perceptually transparent. Much longer, much better version now on bioRxiv:

Sensorimotor training lightens the perceived weight of body augmentation devices
Wearable haptic and robotic devices must transmit useful forces and tactile information without remaining perceptually intrusive. Here we show that perceived weight provides a behavioral marker of thi...
