Research Methodology

The Neuroprosthetic Research System functions as an experimental landscape in which to explore new aesthetic experiences of the body, or more generally the self, expanded  into technologically mediated situations.  I am most interested in locating a threshold for our neuroplasticity in remapping into abstract mechanisms. 

Does that threshold have to do with the proximity of a prosthetic device to our natural body? 

Is it tied up in situations that are closer to natural bodily function and expression?  Is it a function of time and duration with the device? 

At what point does a Neuroprosthetic device become integrated into our sense of self and what techniques support that process, or conversely hinder it?
