Optimizing the mirror illusion during mirror therapy: evidence from unimpaired individuals
These findings suggest that the congruency of multisensory information-between visual, proprioceptive, and motor signals-is critical for maximising the strength of the illusory experience. By identifying the optimal conditions for enhancing the mirror illusion in healthy individuals, this study establishes a foundational framework for adapting and refining mirror therapy protocols in clinical populations.
