Garbarini hopes the work could ultimately help patients by improving the strategies doctors use to rehabilitate people whose sense of body ownership has gone awry after stroke and other causes of brain damage. The purposes of this paper are to review the literature and to describe the properties, fabrication procedures, and indications for use of the silicone rubber compound materials used to splint athletic hand and wrist injuries. Participants who met inclusion/exclusion criteria were invited to the laboratory two times with a 24-hour interv In the present psychophysical and fMRI experiments, we demonstrate that this can also be achieved by synchronous tactile and proprioceptive stimulation in the absence of any visual input, when the participants' eyes are closed. cm), and the difference between the two conditions was significant (paired one-tailed t test; t =-5.

As expected, participants took longer to incorporate the black RH and presented lower RH illusion magnitude and a smaller proprioceptive drift for the black RH. The top panel illustrates the setup with a sitting participant, as used in our initial psychophysical experiment. The eraser can only carry out its task if the movements create a balanced ratio between graphite-free areas and areas containing graphite.This finding suggests that the activity in these areas reflects the detection of congruent multisensory signals from one's own body, rather than of visual representations. The rubber hand was removed from the table, but the participants kept their right hand in position, and then stretched their left arm 45° out and to the left from the body's parasagittal plane.

Godschalk M, Lemon RN, Kuypers HG, Ronday HK (1984) Cortical afferents and efferents of monkey postarcuate area: an anatomical and electro-physiological study. To indicate the onset of the illusion in the illusion condition, the participants were instructed to press a key pad with the left foot in a relaxed manner when they first started to feel the illusion that the hand they were touching was their own.Non-tacky Euro style rubber, it has a *very slight* tensor-style catapult effect to it, but it's definitely far more linear than almost all other large pore sponge tensors. The participants who reported the strongest illusion during the illusion condition also showed the strongest BOLD signal in the left ventral premotor cortex (left precentral sulcus; x =-60; y = 6; z = 30; r 2 = 0. Importantly, bilateral activity in the premotor cortex seemed to reflect the feeling of ownership of the hand and this activity correlated with the strength of the perceived illusion. As timing is an important component in multisensory integration, measuring the onset time to illusion might reveal previously-obscured phenomena that link racial bias and body ownership.
