      abstract     = {Active tool-use can result in the incorporation of the tool
                      into the body schema, e.g., the representation of the arm is
                      enlarged according to tool length. This modification even
                      influences the processing of space: using a long tool leads
                      to a remapping of far space as near space. We here further
                      investigate the interaction of the neural representations of
                      the human body, tool use, and spatial domain. Functional
                      magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was performed in twelve
                      right-handed healthy individuals while they imagined moving
                      a cylinder towards a target position in far or near space by
                      mentally using either pliers or a joystick. The fMRI data
                      revealed that already the imagined use of preferred tools in
                      near and far space (i.e., pliers in far space, joystick in
                      near space) modulated the neural activity in the
                      extra-striate body area (EBA) located in the
                      occipito-temporal cortex. Moreover, psycho-physical
                      interaction analysis showed that during imagined tool-use
                      the functional connectivity of left EBA to a network
                      representing the near-personal space around the hand was
                      strengthened. This increased functional connectivity is
                      likely to reflect the neural processes underlying the
                      incorporation of the tool into the body schema. Thus, the
                      current data suggest that simulating tool-use modulates the
                      representation of the human body in extra-striate cortex.},
