"This is one of several recent studies which demonstrate that activity in one sensory system can modulate activity in another. Last month, researchers from MIT showed that an optical illusion called the motion after-effect can be transferred to the sense of touch, and just before that, Italian researchers showed that the sense of touch can be influenced by how we perceive others"
