Fig 1.
Sample images for the dorsum and palm in each orientation used.
The four orientations are shown, from left to right, in the order of (1) upright (0°), (2) to the right (90°), (3) upside down (180°), and (4) to the left (270°) for the dorsum (top row) and palm (bottom row).
Fig 2.
Perceived width of the dorsum and palm.
Mean differences from accurate when dorsum of the hand (left panel) or palm (right panel) was distorted in the width dimension for each viewing orientation. Positive and negative scores represent overestimation and underestimation respectively. Error bars represent ±1 SEM.
Fig 3.
Perceived dorsum and palm length.
Mean differences from accurate when dorsum (left panel) or palm (right panel) was distorted in the length dimension for each viewing orientation. Positive and negative scores represent overestimation and underestimation respectively. Error bars represent ±1 SEM.
Fig 4.
Relationship between dorsum and palm distortions for width (pink triangles) and length (blue circles). The lines plotted through the data are the goodness-of-fit lines for the width and length.
Table 1.
Correlations between the perceived size of the dorsum and palm (N = 40).
Fig 5.
Relationship between actual and perceived lengths for (A) dorsum length and (B) palm length. The line plotted through the data represents accurate perception.
