The kinesthetic illusion (KI) is an illusion that when a suitable vibration stimulus is applied to tendons or muscles. In KI, the participants feel as if their stimulated tendons or muscles were stretched and their related limbs moves in the exteded direction. In the previous study, we investigated the effect of strengthening the moving image in the process of repeating experiments performed by naïve persons who have not experienced the KI so far. An experiment in which a vibration stimulus was applied to the Flexor Carpal Radius (FCR) muscle tendon of the right hand was repeated 5 times to confirm the training effect on KI, which was evaluated by the magnitude estimation method. In this study, we investigated the effect of the rubber hand illusion (RHI) on the KI with displaying a movie of the wrist extension movement on a display placed in front of the arm.
