Study on the Generation of Kinesthetic Illusion Using Electrical Stimulation and Video

—Causal Analysis of Kinesthetic Illusion Using Ordinal Logistic Regression Analysis—

Abstract

In this study, Kinesthetic Illusion is defined as the perception that the body has been moved even though the body has not been moved. We developed a system that generates Kinesthetic Illusion by combining forced body movements by electric stimuli and video images of body movements. Using this system, we investigated the effects of the type of electrical stimuli and video stimuli on the Kinesthetic Illusion. As a result, it was found that the motion illusion was easily generated when the electric stimulus and the video stimulus were the same type and when the electric stimulus was strong.
