We are very aware of our body positions called proprioception in medical terms. This is also closely connected to visual work. Brain coordiation processes are studied in this paper, nothing really surprising, just confirmatory to me:-http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/03/140313123139.htm-"Your brain's ability to instantly link what you see with what you do is down to a dedicated information 'highway,' suggests new research. For the first time, researchers have found evidence of a specialized mechanism for spatial self-awareness that combines visual cues with body motion. The newly-discovered system could explain why some schizophrenia patients feel like their actions are controlled by someone else."
