Abstract
Although a kinesthetic illusion can be elicited by stimulating a tendon through vibration, many questions remain regarding the conditions of vibration necessary to elicit the kinesthetic illusion. The purpose of this study is to establish the conditions of vibration which are required in order to control the phenomenon of kinesthetic illusion. In order to do this, we develop an experiment system consisting of a vibration stimulator and a wrist angle measurement device. Moreover, we propose using the experiment system and the staircase method in order to measure the threshold above which the illusion will occur. Our preliminary experiment confirmed the effect of this system of measurement, with a threshold found to be at around 40 [m/s^2] with vibration stimuli of 70[Hz] and 80[Hz].
