Story summary

A recent study explored proprioceptive precision through the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) and revealed surprising findings. While healthy individuals experienced both visual-tactile and visual-motor effects, patients showed no interaction with the tested hand. This suggests a deeper disconnect in proprioceptive awareness among those with certain conditions, raising questions about sensory perception.
