Fig 1.
Example of an experimental trial.
The primes were generated by the participant herself. In this example, it is a negative self-relevant prime and the picture of her own body was presented on the right visual field (left hemisphere).

“Equal-to-own-size” responses made by anorexia nervosa patients.
Table 2.
“Equal-to-own-size” responses made by control healthy participants.
Fig 2.
Mean proportions of equal-to-own-size judgments as a function of body picture distortion for the left (LH) and right hemisphere (RH), respectively, after negative self-related primes. The contrast between left- and right hemispheres was highly significant both for real (**p < .0001) and fatter (**p < .0001) conditions.
Fig 3.
Mean proportions of equal-to-own-size judgments as a function of body picture distortion for the left (LH) and right hemisphere (RH), respectively, after negative self-related primes. There was no difference between the left- and right hemispheres in any condition.
