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

[Julio Rodriguez-Larios @julio_rlarios]

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

[Chapman Brain Institute @Brain_CU]

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.

[Chapman Brain Institute @Brain_CU]

The Rubber Hand Illusion

The Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) creates distortions of body ownership through multimodal integration of somatosensory and visual inputs.

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

Free Will: Intention

"To have an intention is to have a thought about a future action, where the thought has certain distinctive effects on behavior and reasoning and is subject to distinctive rational requirements".

- Chapter 1, Gideon Yaffe (Maoz and Sinnott-Armstrong)
