Fig 1.
Experimental setting for inducing the rubber hand illusion.
The subject was sitting at a table with eyes fixed on the rubber hand and her actual right hand placed inside an opaque box. The positions of the chair and the box both were adjusted so that the subject had the fake hand, but not the real one in sight. Small paint-brushes were used to synchronously stroke both the rubber hand and the subject’s hidden hand.
