Abstract
IN the past few years attention has been directed again to the phenomenon of adaptation to prismatic displacement which was mentioned by Helmholtz1. Recently, change in the “felt” position of the adapted limb has been used as an explanatory concept2. It is useful to think of this as a change in the transfer function of the output of joint receptors which signal limb position3.
