BTW. I recall an experiment that found that to get someone to associate a virtual hand with their real one, the researchers had to prick the real hand at the same time as the person see the virtual hand getting a prick.

By the same token, if you want someone to associate a virtual elbow with their real elbow, you'd better not be having it do stuff your real elbow isn't doing. Better off just not having the elbow.
