Reminds me of body-controlled sports, like hang-gliding, snowboarding and motorbike riding: the way the craft responds to body placement really makes it feel like it is part of you. I'm sure that this effect is separable from human intelligence, and tool-using animals (like chimps using sticks and beavers building dams) feel the same way, because it seems like the simplest way for the mind to integrate tools: after all, a stick behaves as if it were an extension of your hand, so why not reuse existing perceptual and motor control circuitry, rather than constructing entirely new subsystems. (I'm not saying it's designed, but reuse is more probable than parallel reconstruction from scratch).
