Abstract

Erratum: Cutaneous rabbit “hops toward a light: unimodal and cross-modal causality on the skin”

Highlights

The following sentences Repeated rapid stimulation at the wrist, near the elbow, can create the illusion of touch at intervening locations along the arm. ->should be replaced by Under some conditions, successive tactile stimuli at some locations on the forearm can be felt as an illusion of movement along the arm
L6 For example, repeated, rapid stimulation at the wrist and near the elbow can create the illusion of touch at intervening locations along the arm, as if a rabbit is hopping along the arm. -> For example, repeated rapid stimulation at a location near the wrist and at another location near the elbow could be felt as an illusion of movement along the arm, including illusory touch at the intervening location, as if a rabbit is hopping along the arm
P2, left column L2 a recent Bayesian perceptual model replicated the CRE by assuming that the brain expects tactile stimuli to move slowly (Goldreich, 2007) since we have evolved to detect the movement of external agents (Leslie, 1995). -> In addition, a recent study has suggested that the CRE can be simulated by a Beyesian model based on the assumption that the brain expects the slow movements of tactile stimuli (Goldreich, 2007) since we have evolved to detect the movement of external agents (Leslie, 1995)

Summary

Introduction

The following sentences Repeated rapid stimulation at the wrist, near the elbow, can create the illusion of touch at intervening locations along the arm (as if a rabbit is hopping along the arm). ->should be replaced by Under some conditions, successive tactile stimuli at some locations on the forearm can be felt as an illusion of movement along the arm (as if a rabbit is hopping along the arm). P1, right column L3 The CRE is a subset of a larger class of tactile saltation illusions elicited when a mechanical stimulus is followed by similar stimuli rapidly applied at nearby locations (Geldard and Sherrick, 1972; Warren et al, 2010).
