Stroking the visible fake hand and the occluded real hand simultaneously in this context yields peculiar feelings of ownership over the fake arm.

The Rubber Hand Illusion experiment! In the standard approach to the RHI, participants’ real hands are occluded from their view and replaced with a clearly visible fake rubber arm positioned so as to mimic their actual limb

Hello @AcademicEEG, have you ever seen this kind of EEG artifact? Any idea about where it could come from?

The current research investigates whether higher-order cognition exerts a top-down influence over the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI)—a phenomenological distortion of body ownership.

Feelings of owning your body and limbs—body ownership—represent a core component of our conscious experiences.

The Rubber Hand Illusion The Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) creates distortions of body ownership through multimodal integration of somatosensory and visual inputs. #illusion #brainscience #neuroscience #experiment #rubberhandillusion #psychology #philosophy
