Milliseconds matter: temporal order of visuo-tactile stimulation affects the ownership of a virtual hand [PDF]
The sense of body ownership, that one’s body belongs to oneself, is a result of the integration of different sensory streams. This sense however is not error-free; in 1998 Botvinick and Cohen [3] showed the rubber hand illusion (RHI), an illusion that ...

Multisensory integration involved in the body perception of community-dwelling older adults
This study investigates how the multisensory integration in body perception changes with increasing age, and whether it is associated with older adults’ risk of falling.

Abrupt visibility modifications affect specific subjective (not objective) aspects of body ownership
The sense of body ownership builds on proper multisensory integration mechanisms. The Rubber-Hand Illusion (RHI) paradigm exploits a visuo-tactile multisensory conflict to induce illusory body ownership toward a fake hand, assessed by multidimensional ...

The relationship between virtual body ownership and temperature sensitivity. [PDF]
In the rubber hand illusion tactile stimulation seen on a rubber hand, that is synchronous with tactile stimulation felt on the hidden real hand, can lead to an illusion of ownership over the rubber hand.

Hand cooling enhances the proprioceptive drift during rubber hand illusion
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.

The illusion of owning a third arm. [PDF]
Could it be possible that, in the not-so-distant future, we will be able to reshape the human body so as to have extra limbs? A third arm helping us out with the weekly shopping in the local grocery store, or an extra artificial limb assisting a ...

Specificity and coherence of body representations [PDF]
Bodily illusions differently affect body representations underlying perception and action. We investigated whether this task dependence reflects two distinct dimensions of embodiment: the sense of agency and the sense of the body as a coherent whole.

Impairment of the rubber hand illusion in focal hand dystonia [PDF]
Patients with dystonia display a number of disturbances in the cognitive processing of movements, such as movement simulation and prediction, but whether these deficits point to a deeper rooted disturbance of perceptual bodily representations remains unknown.

The role of expectation in multisensory body representation – neural evidence [PDF]
Sensory events contribute to body ownership, the feeling that the body belongs to me. However, the encoding of sensory events is not only reactive, but also proactive in that our brain generates prediction about forthcoming stimuli.

The infuence of skin colour on the experience of ownership in the rubber hand illusion [PDF]
Racial prejudice is associated with a fundamental distinction between "us" and "them"-a distinction linked to the perceived overlap between representations of the self and others.
