rubber hand illusion

rubber hand illusion
   A term used to denote a variant of the body schema illusion which is characterized by tactile hallucinations in one's hand while a visually presented rubber hand is being stroked. The resulting hallucinations have been interpreted as confirmation of the apparent primacy of the visual system over the tactile system.
