About

Reiji Miura is a pioneering researcher in the field of human-computer interaction and embodied cognition, with a focus on distributed embodiment and body schema extension. His major contributions center on the concept of "MultiSoma," which explores how humans can control and perceive multiple synchronized bodies simultaneously through virtual reality and robotics. Miura’s work demonstrates that the brain’s plasticity allows individuals to extend their body schema beyond a single physical form, enabling coordinated behavior and perception across distributed embodiments. His most-cited paper, "MultiSoma: Distributed Embodiment with Synchronized Behavior and Perception" (2021), has garnered 22 citations, while its follow-up study on motor and gaze analysis (2022) has received 15 citations, highlighting the growing interest in this novel area. By investigating how humans adapt to controlling additional bodies, Miura’s research has implications for teleoperation, collaborative robotics, and immersive VR experiences. His achievements include advancing our understanding of neural plasticity in technological contexts, offering a foundation for future innovations in human augmentation and multi-agent systems.
