Abstract

The illusion described here is well documented, and known as the rubber hand illusion (RHI). It is used to investigate perceptual processes and multisensory interactions. In the presented study we aimed to achieve the projected sensation using a paradigm designed to achieve a Virtual Hand Illusion (VHI). This allowed the exploration of novel stimuli including passive and active movement of the arm, self stimulus and haptic stimuli other than just brushing. Our results showed similar effects to the original RHI and demonstrated the advantage of active haptic stimulation for enhancement of body ownership.
