這是一門大學部的跨領域課程，選課同學需要先修過「身體與自我意識一」。我們會深入探討關於身體與自我意識的哲學與科學議題。例如：虛擬實境如何影響我們的「身體歸屬感」？「第一人稱觀點」與「第三人稱觀點」的不同在哪裡？「身體動作感」與「視覺動作感」在產生身體錯覺的過程中扮演了何種角色？「我感覺自己在哪裡」和「我感覺身體在哪裡」是同一種經驗麼？除了討論相關的哲學作品與認知神經科學的論文，我們也會嘗試進行實驗來研究各種有趣的「身體錯覺」。例如：「橡膠手錯覺」、「身體交換錯覺」，以及我們最近在「神經科學與哲學研究室」所設計的「自我觸碰錯覺」及其他新版的「全身錯覺」。本學期將著重於運用虛擬實境技術來了解身體經驗，這種跨領域的研究將有助於瞭解身體經驗與自我意識之間的複雜關係。

This is an interdisciplinary course for undergraduate students. Students should have taken “Body and Self-consciousness I” beforehand. We will investigate several issues related to body and self-consciousness: how may virtual reality influence our sense of body ownership? What is the difference between the first-person perspective and the third-person perspective? What are the roles of “body agency” and “visual agency” in the process of inducing bodily illusions? Is the sense of “where I am” the same as the sense of “where my body is”? We will discuss research papers both in philosophy and in cognitive neuroscience, and will try to conduct experiments to study bodily illusions, such as the “rubber hand illusion” and the “body swap illusion”, as well as the “self-touching illusion” and the new versions of full-body illusions that we recently designed in the “NeuroPhilosophy Lab.” In this semester, we will focus on how virtual reality (VR) may enhance our understanding of bodily experiences. This interdisciplinary approach will help us to obtain a deeper understanding of the relations between bodily experience and self-consciousness.
