The Rubber Hand Illusion

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University Reaching for objects, walking without hitting obstacles, landing on a chair as you sit (instead of falling to the floor), these and all our physical actions depend on an ability to perceive our own bodies in space, to know where our limbs are relative to one another and relative to the rest of the world. One way that the human brain encodes this information is called proprioception, the brain relies on its own control and feedback...

We demonstrate how an objective measure can be employed in the widely employed rubber hand illusion paradigm. This measure is obtained by modifying the well-established crossmodal congruency task. This task allows the investigation of multisensory processes which are critical for modulations of body representations as in the rubber hand illusion.

Source: Rachel Liu, BAO, MBBCh, Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA Tube thoracostomy (chest tube placement) is a procedure during which a hollow tube is inserted into the thoracic cavity for drainage of fluid or air. Emergency chest tube insertion is performed for definitive treatment of tension pneumothorax, traumatic hemothorax, large-volume pleural effusions, and empyemas. Irrespective of the cause of air and fluid accumulation in the pleural space, the...

A method allowing for direct pharmacological manipulation of mouse embryos during neurulation that bypasses maternal metabolism is described. The technique can be adapted to study different aspects of neurulation by varying the time point and pharmacological agent.
FAQs
Material compatibility helps determine whether the tubing is appropriate for the liquids or gases being handled, while wall thickness influences how readily its walls bend, compress, and recover. Operating conditions also affect performance. Considering these factors helps researchers maintain suitable connections and controlled transport in biological laboratory systems.
Elasticity allows the tubing to bend without losing its hollow pathway and to recover after compression. This supports sealed connections while accommodating movement within an experimental setup. The same behavior can help maintain fluid or gas handling when components shift, reducing disruption to transfers and connected biological systems.
Pressure differences can move liquids or gases through the tubing, whereas a peristaltic pump drives flow by compressing the elastic walls. Wall recovery helps the tubing resume its shape after compression. These mechanisms give researchers ways to transport materials under either system-generated pressure or controlled pumping conditions.
In cell culture setups, tubing can connect components that deliver or remove fluids and support gas exchange. In perfusion experiments, it provides a route for continued fluid movement around the biological system. These uses help researchers manage circulation and transfer while maintaining a connected experimental arrangement.
Rubber tubing provides a flexible pathway for aspiration and sample transfer, allowing liquids to move between connected parts of a laboratory system. Its ability to bend and form sealed connections supports handling in setups where rigid pathways would be less convenient. Proper use can help control transfer and reduce contamination concerns.
Tubing supports controlled movement of liquids and gases through connected laboratory equipment, which helps researchers manage where samples and fluids travel. Sealed connections can limit unwanted exposure during handling, while pressure-driven or pump-driven flow provides control over transport. These features are relevant to circulation, perfusion, gas exchange, and sample-processing experiments.
