Tactile properties of the hand-related visual areas. Activation on an inflated whole-brain map (shown in orange) represents areas that significantly responded to a tactile stimulus on the subject's left hand. We present only voxels that also show a preference for the near ball over the far in the real-hand experiment (in the absence of any tactile input; green lines). Areas showing preference for the near ball with illusory visual information of the hand position (dummy-hand experiment) are shown in pink. Note that there is little overlap between the tactile areas and the areas modulated by the seen (dummy or real) hand position. LH, Left hemisphere; RH, right hemisphere; CS, central sulcus. Cluster corrected (p < 0.05).
