[D88] Is seeing warm, feeling warm?

It is hypothesized that when the information of the visual and tactile temperature stimuli are incongruent (warm-cold or cold-warm), the withdrawal reflex will be slower than when they are congruent (cold-cold or warm-warm). The visitors will have the opportunity to test during this demonstration whether a visual perception of a cup's temperature is either congruent or incongruent with the real tactile temperature of the cup. The visitors will be wearing the Oculus rift, a head-mounted display, and will be asked to grasp a virtual cup with their virtual hand that matches the real hand movements tracked by the Intel creative camera. Simultaneously, they will be touching a steel cup that could be either cold or warm. The temperature of the cup will be controlled by a Peltier thermo-device.
