Table 3.

Difference between Floatation-REST and Bed-REST regarding time and bodily-self perception.

	Floatation-REST Median (Interquartile)	Bed-REST Median (Interquartile)	Wilcoxon test
	Floatation-REST Median (Interquartile)	Bed-REST Median (Interquartile)	p
Thinking about time (VAS) [0 …. 100]	35 (29)	28.5 (31)	0.274
Subjective passage of time (VAS) [0 …. 100]	49.5 (38)	58 (20)	0.127
Time distortion (VAS) [0 …. 100]	70 (28)	58 (47)	0.007^a
Estimation of duration (VAS) [0 …. 100]	60 (36.25)	49 (20)	0.012^a

Wilcoxon Test with indication of medians/interquartiles. Measurements related to the time during Floatation and Bed-REST. ^aMeets FDR-adjusted significance of p < 0.05 for 22 statistical tests (Tables 1, 2, 3). Next to visual analogue scales (VAS) the Perceived Body Boundaries Scale (PBBS) was used for the assessment of the sense of time and self.

Significant values are in bold.
