We show maps of a hand-held tool can be built with accuracy comparable to arm. Tool use did not change accuracy but affected precision. This suggests the sensorimotor system can extend body-like representations to tools.

There is evidence that the sensorimotor system builds fine-grained spatial maps of the limbs based on somatosensory signals. Can a hand-held tool be m…
