Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s disease changes perception in the Rubber Hand Illusion

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) alters cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic circuitry and susceptibility to an illusion of bodily awareness, the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI). Bodily awareness is thought to result from multisensory integration in a predominantly cortical network; the role of subcortical co...
