Abstract
Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) is a phenomenon that a subject feels that a rubber hand (dummy hand) is their own when the rubber hand and the real hand are stroked synchronously and the subject receives the consistent sensory inputs between visual and tactile sensations. The consistent visuo-tactile sensation is a necessary condition for RHI, however we report that RHI can be induced by an asynchronous stimulations between visual and tactile sensations. In our experiments, the subject is required to cross their arms and given successive stimulations on their each hand. Our experiment is conducted in virtual environment. It is known that such stimulations cause the mis-temporal order judgment. Our results support that arm-crossing confuses the body image and the asynchronous stimulations can induce RHI.
