Age-related changes in the sense of body ownership: New insights from the rubber hand illusion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 How do age-related changes affect the sense of body ownership? This study tackles this issue by means of the rubber hand illusion (RHI), a widely used experimental tool for investigating the sense of body ownership.

Hand cooling enhances the proprioceptive drift during rubber hand illusion
Journal of Behavioral and Brain Science, 2022 Abstract The neural representation of the body is easily altered by integrating multiple sensory signals in the brain. The “rubber hand illusion” (RHI) is one of the most popular experimental paradigms to investigate this phenomenon. During this illusion, ownership of a rubber hand is created.

Did My Hand Move in a Mirror? Body Ownership Induced by the Mirror Hand Illusion
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 Although the illusion that the mirror image of a hand or limb could be recognized as a part of one’s body behind the mirror, the effect of adding tactile stimulation to this illusion remains unknown.

A motion illusion reveals mechanisms of perceptual stabilization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Visual illusions are valuable tools for the scientific examination of the mechanisms underlying perception. In the peripheral drift illusion special drift patterns appear to move although they are static.

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

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.

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 ...

Relating proprioceptive embodiment to body dissatisfaction in anorexia and bulimia patients: effect of visual body images. [PDF]
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin NeurosciEating disorders (ED) are associated with a maladaptive body schema and several cognitive biases. This pilot study aimed to investigate the effect of visual stimulation by body images on maladaptive body schema and body dissatisfaction in patients with ...
