Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hand-centered receptive fields of bimodal neurons expand to include locations near a handheld tool, which helps in integrating sensory information relevant to the tool, thus supporting the control of visually guided actions with the tool. This expansion allows the brain to process information about the tool as if it were an extension of the hand.
