Proprioceptive Interaction in Single-Arm Pointing Experiments

Aggregating experimental data from a study on proprioceptive interaction between the arms during a single-arm pointing task. The study involved three experiments examining how vibration-induced illusions in one arm are affected by the posture and vibration of the contralateral arm. The data was authored by Kazuyoshi Kigawa and last updated in June 2020.

Use Cases

• Analyze the degree of vibration-induced extension illusion under different contralateral arm vibration conditions.
• Compare the kinesthetic interaction between arms when the left arm is in a standard versus an abducted position.
• Model the development of the extension illusion in a vibrated arm when placed in an abducted position.
• Investigate the influence of proprioceptive input from one arm on the perceived position of the other in aligned configurations.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a structured series of three controlled experiments.
• The dataset is openly available under a CC0 1.0 license.
• The study design includes specific vibration frequencies (70–80 Hz) applied to elbow flexors.

Limitations

• The specific number of participants, trials, and data rows is unknown.
• The dataset structure, including available columns and file formats, is unspecified.
• The data is focused on a specific laboratory task, limiting generalizability to naturalistic movement.
