The noted perceptual psychologist and founder of ecological psychology already stated this in his The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception. He states that visual perception doesn't involve just the brain and the eyes, it is dependent upon the head, neck, and the entire body. Although he was referring to visual perception specifically, he regarded all modalities as being dependent upon the body and it's parts in relation to one another and in relation to the environmental layout. His theories have largely gone unnoticed. I consider this to be another confirmation of his ecological psychology. A shame his work will probably continue to go unnoticed (although concepts he proposed, such as affordances, have been slowly creeping into the psychology literature).
