Abstract in brief

The study explores whether sensory augmentation, specifically using the feelSpace belt, can help people learn new sensorimotor contingencies (SMCs), which are the lawful relations between actions and sensory feedback.
Over a 7-week training period, subjects experienced significant changes in spatial perception, improved navigation strategies, and an increased emotional connection to the device, indicating a deep integration of the new sensory information.
The findings support embodied cognition theories by demonstrating that learning new SMCs through sensory augmentation leads to meaningful perceptual and emotional transformations.]
