#FIND THE RABBIT ILLUSION SKIN#
When a series of rapid taps are delivered first at one location on the skin and then at another, without a break in regularity, the recipient perceives illusory taps between the actual stimulation locations as if a small rabbit were hopping along the skin from the first site to the second. One well known example is the “cutaneous rabbit” ( Geldard and Sherrick, 1972). Our somatosensory perception, however, does not always correspond to the actual locations being stimulated rather, it is often accompanied by illusionary sensations. The somatotopic map reflects the locations of physical stimuli on the skin. The brain possesses a representation of the body map in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) ( Penfield and Boldrey, 1937). This suggests that the cutaneous rabbit effect involves not only the intrinsic somatotopic representation but also the representation of the extended body schema that results from body–object interactions.
When the subjects held a stick such that it was laid across the tips of their index fingers and received the taps via the stick, they reported sensing the illusory taps in the space between the actual stimulus locations (i.e., along the stick). We delivered rapid sequential taps to the left and right index fingers. In the present paper, however, we show that the cutaneous rabbit can “hop out of the body” onto an external object held by the subject. Thus, the cutaneous rabbit illusion has been confined to one's own body. A functional magnetic resonance imaging study recently confirmed the association of the illusion with somatotopic activity in the primary somatosensory cortex. Previous behavioral studies have attributed this illusion to the early unimodal somatosensory body map. It was later confirmed both sets of sounds were present but at different frequencies, and that the brain can only focus on one or the other.Rapid sequential taps delivered first to one location and then to another on the skin create the somatosensory illusion that the tapping is occurring at intermediate locations between the actual stimulus sites, as if a small rabbit were hopping along the skin from the first site to the second (called the “cutaneous rabbit”). Nor was it as divisive as the "Yanny or Laurel" auditory illusion, which found the web split almost down the middle over an audio recording of a voice repeating either the word "Yanny" or "Laurel", depending on who you asked. It was later proven to be the former, with some people's color perception fooled by their brain making assumptions about the amount of light in the background. The debate wasn't quite as decisive as the infamous "Dress" incident of 2015, when the internet went to war over whether a gown in a photograph was blue and black, or white and gold. Indeed as the tweet went viral, users shared some of the many existing examples - but not many had ever seen a live version before.
Quintana pointed out that the "static bird/rabbit illusion" is well-known within psychology and philosophy, which is why he first decided to share it.

Without this misleading cue, I thought most people would have seen a bird." "When you only see the beak in your peripheral vision, it really seems like they're ears. "I made the rabbit comment to prime readers into thinking it was actually a rabbit, to give it a fighting chance at least," he said. as you can see the translucent nictitating membrane sweep across the eye horizontally (rabbits don't have membranes like this) and the positioning of the 'ears' are a little strange," he told CNET in an email. "I thought it was fairly clear that the video was of a bird. However Quintana (who does not know who owns the original vid) knows the correct answer - and the clue is in the blink.
