Attentional control: placing the dummy hand outside perihand space. Areas showing preference for the near over the far ball (reds) and for the far ball (blues) over the near ball in the far-dummy-hand experiment (solid patches) and in the retracted-hand experiment (outline patches) are shown. Note that the two experiments differ only in the presence of the dummy hand by the far target. The overlap in responses in the two experiments suggests that, when the dummy hand is placed out of peripersonal space, it does not affect hand-related areas, as would be expected if the modulation was attributable to attention referred to the dummy hand.
