Rubber hand illusion reduces discomfort caused by cold stimulus.

Rubber hand illusion reduces discomfort caused by cold stimulus.

There is a growing interest in body-ownership disruptions and their consequences for subjective experiences such as tactile sensations or pain. Here, we investigated the effect of the rubber hand illusion (RHI) on the perceived discomfort caused by cold stimulus applied to the real hand. The results...
