Changing the size of a mirror-reflected hand moderates the experience of embodiment but not proprioceptive drift: a repeated measures study on healthy human participants. [PDF]
Mirror visual feedback is used for reducing pain and visually distorting the size of the reflection may improve efficacy. The findings of studies investigating size distortion are inconsistent. The influence of the size of the reflected hand on embodiment of the mirror reflection is not known.

The nonvisual self-touch rubber hand paradigm elicits the compelling illusion that one is touching one's own hand even though the two hands are not in contact. In four experiments, we investigated spatial limits of distance (15 cm, 30 cm, 45 cm, 60 cm) and alignment (0°, 90° anti-clockwise) on the nonvisual self-touch illusion and the well-known visual

Feeling pain from a rubber hand: Nociceptive drift in the rubber hand illusion [PDF]
Summary: The sense of body ownership refers to the perceptual experience of one’s body as one’s own and can be studied using the rubber hand illusion (RHI).

The Somatic Rubber Hand Illusion does not modulate perceived hand position in children with severe visual impairments [PDF]
In the Somatic Rubber Hand Illusion (SRHI), synchronous brushing of a participant’s hidden hand and a dummy hand induces proprioceptive drift, a shift in perceived position of the hand towards the dummy hand, along with the sensation of brushing one’s ...

Sleep dissolves illusion: sleep withstands learning of visuo-tactile-proprioceptive integration induced by repeated days of rubber hand illusion training. [PDF]
Multisensory integration is a key factor in establishing bodily self-consciousness and in adapting humans to novel environments. The rubber hand illusion paradigm, in which humans can immediately perceive illusory ownership to an artificial hand, is a ...

Distinct patterns of visuo-tactile and visuo-motor body-related integration in Parkinson’s disease [PDF]
Multisensory integration (MSI) deficits in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) have recently attracted growing interest in both clinical and research realms, MSI being crucial in maintaining well-coordinated responses to external stimuli.

Limb position drift results from misalignment of proprioceptive and visual maps [PDF]
Previous work (Brown et al., 2003a,b) has shown that limb position drifts when individuals make repetitive movements in the absence of visual feedback. The purpose of this study was to examine whether limb position drift might reflect a misalignment in visual and proprioceptive maps by examining the nature of information used to specify new movements ...

The perception of the position of an unseen limb: Investigation of the effect of thixotropic conditioning on drift and accuracy [PDF]
Proprioceptive judgements can be divided into two broad categories: low‐level and high‐level. Low‐level judgements of limb position require a person to detect, discriminate or match the position of a body part, whereas high‐level judgements require a ...

Limb position sense, proprioceptive drift and muscle thixotropy at the human elbow joint [PDF]
Key points When a blindfolded subject holds his or her arm at a particular angle, its reported position shifts over time; this is known as proprioceptive drift. Here, we show that in relation to position sense at the elbow, the direction of perceived shifts is consistent with adaptation in discharge levels of sensory receptors in elbow muscles. Raising
