| Abstract(in English) | In Ramachandran's rubber hand experiment, the subject is faced to the two combined stimuli (multi-modal stimuli): the visual information of the stimulation to the rubber hand and the tactile stimulus to his own hand that is hidden behind the screen. Interestingly, the subject tends to have an illusory feeling that the rubber hand became a part of his body (change of body image). Previously, the test of this illusion was carried out only qualitatively by an enquete. In this study, we built a computer-based system for measuring precisely the reaction time to the tactile stimulus. Under the delayed tactile stimulation to the actual hand after the visual information of the stimulation to the rubber hand, we measured the decrease of the reaction time to quantify the degree of strength of multi-modal illusion. We also found that this type of illusion was largely attenuated by replacing the rubber hand into other non-hand object like a box. |
