Crossing the hands increases illusory self-touch.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Manipulation of hand posture, such as crossing the hands, has been frequently used to study how the body and its immediately surrounding space are represented in the brain. Abundant data show that crossed arms posture impairs remapping of tactile stimuli

Proprioceptive errors in the localization of hand landmarks: What can be learnt about the hand metric representation?

PLoS ONE, 2020
Proprioception acquires a crucial role in estimating the configuration of our body segments in space when visual information is not available. Proprioceptive accuracy is assessed by asking participants to match the perceived position of an unseen body ...

Pleasant touch moderates the subjective but not objective aspects of body perception

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013
Un-myelinated C tactile afferents (CT afferents) are a key finding in affective touch. These fibres, which activate in response to a caress-like touch to hairy skin (CT afferents are not found in palm skin), may have more in common with interoceptive ...

Individual Differences in the Rubber Hand Illusion Are Related to Sensory Suggestibility. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
In the rubber hand illusion (RHI), watching a rubber hand being stroked in synchrony with one's own hidden hand may induce a sense of ownership over the rubber hand.

Rubber hand illusion induced by touching the face ipsilaterally to a deprived hand: evidence for plastic ‘somatotopic’ remapping in tetraplegics

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Background: Studies in animals and humans indicate that the interruption of body-brain connections following spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to plastic cerebral reorganization.Objective: To explore whether inducing the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) via ...

The rubber hand illusion evaluated using different stimulation modalities

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Tactile feedback plays a vital role in inducing ownership and improving motor control of prosthetic hands. However, commercially available prosthetic hands typically do not provide tactile feedback and because of that the prosthetic user must rely on ...

Robotic hand illusion with tactile feedback: Unravelling the relative contribution of visuotactile and visuomotor input to the representation of body parts in space.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The rubber hand illusion describes a phenomenon in which participants experience a rubber hand as being part of their body by the synchronous application of visuotactile stimulation to the real and the artificial limb.

The slime hand illusion: Nonproprioceptive ownership distortion specific to the skin region

i-Perception, 2022
The “slime hand illusion” is a simple and robust technique that uses mirror-visual feedback to produce a nonproprioceptive ownership distortion. The illusion can be easily evoked by the participant watching the experimenter pinching and pulling a chunk ...

Comparing the Effect of Semi‐Immersive Virtual Reality, Computerized Cognitive Training, and Traditional Rehabilitation on Cognitive Function in Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cognitive impairment is a common non‐motor symptom in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), negatively affecting autonomy and Quality of Life (QoL). Innovative rehabilitation strategies, such as semi‐immersive virtual reality (VR) and computerized cognitive training (CCT), may offer advantages over traditional cognitive rehabilitation (TCR ...
