Abstract
This article contributes to ongoing research on the minimal self, i.e., the simplest config-uration of individual identity, which is rooted in basic body structures and schemes. The topic of minimal selfhood will be treated from a phenomenological perspective, focusing on issues of technology incorpora-tion. Some types of technology, such as prosthetics, are experienced by the user as part of her or his own body. Is there a phenomenologically relevant relationship between the incorporation of a machine and minimal self-experience? The question is crucial for a new generation of incorporable machines, known as bio-machine hybrid technology, which benefits from significant advances in digital modeling of bodily signals as well as research on bio-integrated materials. The article delves into the relationship between bio-machine hybrid technology and the minimal self by discussing a highly informative case study in the field of vision technology (biomimetic visual prostheses).
