Proprioceptive movement illusions due to prolonged stimulation: reversals and aftereffects.
<h4>Background</h4>Adaptation to constant stimulation has often been used to investigate the mechanisms of perceptual coding, but the adaptive processes within the proprioceptive channels that encode body movement have not been well described. We investigated them using vibration as a st...
