Watching a rubber hand being stroked, while one's own unseen hand is synchronously stroked, may cause the rubber hand to be attributed to one's own body, to "feel like it's my hand." A behavioral measure of the rubber hand illusion (RHI) is a drift of the perceived position of one's own hand toward the rubber hand. The authors investigated (a) the influence of general body scheme representations on the RHI in Experiments 1 and 2 and (b) the necessary conditions of visuotactile stimulation…

The rubber hand illusion in action
The rubber hand illusion modulates pseudoneglect
The rubber hand illusion is influenced by self-recognition
The rubber hand illusion: Sensitivity and reference frame for body ownership
Susceptibility to the rubber hand illusion does not tell the whole body-awareness story
TLDR
It is suggested that susceptibility to the RHI and awareness of one’s own body are at least partially independent processes.
Losing One's Hand: Visual-Proprioceptive Conflict Affects Touch Perception
TLDR
Findings reveal that somatosensory alterations in the experimental hand resulting from the RHI result from cross-modal mismatch between the seen and felt position of the hand, and are not necessarily a signature of disownership.
The Digital Rubber Hand Illusion
TLDR
Measurements of proprioceptive drift corroborated the original RHI and suggested that a similar phenomenon can occur when the rubber hand was replaced with either a static or animated digital image of it or in a VR condition.

Projecting sensations to external objects: evidence from skin conductance response
TLDR
These experiments demonstrate the malleability of body image and the brain's remarkable capacity for detecting statistical correlations in the sensory input.
Sense of body and sense of action both contribute to self-recognition
Left tactile extinction following visual stimulation of a rubber hand.
TLDR
It is suggested that the system coding peripersonal space can be 'deceived' by the vision of a fake hand, provided that its appearance looks plausible with respect to the subject's body.
Dynamic size‐change of hand peripersonal space following tool use
TLDR
Evidence that visual peri-hand space has important dynamic properties in humans; it can be expanded and contracted depending upon tool use is shown.
Visual Capture of Touch: Out-of-the-Body Experiences With Rubber Gloves
TLDR
It is shown that vision can capture tactile localization, and participants were more likely to report the illusion of feeling touch at the rubber hands when they were spatially aligned with the participant's own hands.
Experimenting with the acting self
TLDR
It is suggested that intentional action functions as a general context for awareness, modulating the perception of one's own body, and that this sense of agency is efferent-driven, originating from pre-action processes.
Multisensory integration and the body schema: close to hand and within reach
When a rubber hand 'feels' what the real hand cannot.
TLDR
The effect shows that crossmodal sensory facilitation does not only depend upon simple spatial proximity alone, but a simultaneous visual event dramatically improves perception of touch specifically when it is attributed to the perceiver's stimulated limb.
Functional Organization of Primary Somatosensory Cortex Depends on the Focus of Attention
TLDR
It is shown that a greater capacity for modulation of the functional cortical organization was positively correlated with superior learning and task performance, and the hand representation within the primary somatosensory cortex is dynamically modulated by top-down mechanisms to support task requirements.
