Abstract
A subject is able to experience the sensation of a phantom limb by an effect of interaction generated between visual sensation and tactile sensation. A first chamber 110 for placing therein a prosthesis 305 that mimics a part of either a left or right limb, and a second chamber 160 arranged in parallel with the first chamber inside a case 105, are provided separated by a mirror 180 within the case. A stimulating unit 120, and a drive unit 125 for moving and/or rotating the stimulating unit, are provided within the first chamber. The subject is caused to experience the sensation of a phantom limb by inserting a limb on the side opposite the prosthesis into the second chamber, and viewing a mirror image 185 of the prosthesis placed in the first chamber through a viewing window 190.
