      abstract     = {Theories of embodied cognition propose that perception is
                      shaped by sensory stimuli and by the actions of the
                      organism. Following sensorimotor contingency theory, the
                      mastery of lawful relations between own behavior and
                      resulting changes in sensory signals, called sensorimotor
                      contingencies, is constitutive of conscious perception.
                      Sensorimotor contingency theory predicts that, after
                      training, knowledge relating to new sensorimotor
                      contingencies develops, leading to changes in the activation
                      of sensorimotor systems, and concomitant changes in
                      perception. In the present study, we spell out this
                      hypothesis in detail and investigate whether it is possible
                      to learn new sensorimotor contingencies by sensory
                      augmentation. Specifically, we designed an fMRI compatible
                      sensory augmentation device, the feelSpace belt, which gives
                      orientation information about the direction of magnetic
                      north via vibrotactile stimulation on the waist of
                      participants. In a longitudinal study, participants trained
                      with this belt for seven weeks in natural environment. Our
                      EEG results indicate that training with the belt leads to
                      changes in sleep architecture early in the training phase,
                      compatible with the consolidation of procedural learning as
                      well as increased sensorimotor processing and motor
                      programming. The fMRI results suggest that training entails
                      activity in sensory as well as higher motor centers and
                      brain areas known to be involved in navigation. These neural
                      changes are accompanied with changes in how space and the
                      belt signal are perceived, as well as with increased trust
                      in navigational ability. Thus, our data on physiological
                      processes and subjective experiences are compatible with the
                      hypothesis that new sensorimotor contingencies can be
                      acquired using sensory augmentation.},
