==Tactile illusions==
Examples of tactile illusions include [[phantom limb]], the [[thermal grill illusion]], the [[cutaneous rabbit illusion]] and a curious illusion that occurs when the crossed index and middle fingers are run along the bridge of the nose with one finger on each side, resulting in the perception of two separate noses.  Interestingly, the brain areas activated during illusory tactile perception are similar to those activated during actual tactile stimulation. Tactile illusions can also be elicited through haptic technology[http://www.roblesdelatorre.com/gabriel/GR-VH-Nature2001.pdf Robles-De-La-Torre & Hayward 2001]. These "illusory" tactile objects can be used to create "virtual objects" [http://www.technologyreview.com/read_article.aspx?id=17363&ch=biotech&sc=&pg=1 The Cutting Edge of Haptics]
