Presentation of Positional Information by Heat Phantom Sensation
: In this study, we investigated the "heat phantom sensation" induced by thermal stimulation of two points. Phantom sensations are tactile illusions induced at a point between two or more stimuli, and have been demonstrated to occur in the event of vibration stimulation. However, their induction by thermal stimuli has not been fully investigated. We confirmed the existence of a heat phantom sensation using two heat stimulators, and succeeded in presenting the heat source image at an arbitrary position by changing the temperature ratio. Key Words: Funneling illusion, Heat sensation, Phantom Sensation, Tactile illusion
