Question | Label | Synchronous | Asynchronous | P |
Q1 It seemed as if I were feeling the touch of the ball in the location where I saw the virtual body touched. | Referred touch | 5 ± 1 | 2 ± 2 | <0.00005 |
Q2 It seemed as though the touch I felt was caused by the ball touching the virtual body. | Caused by ball | 4 ± 1 | 4 ± 2 | 0.030 |
Q3 It felt as if the virtual body was my body. | My body | 3 ± 1 | 3 ± 0 | 0.422 |
Q4 It felt as if my (real) body was drifting toward the front (toward the virtual body). | Drifting forward | 2 ± 2 | 2 ± 3 | 0.897 |
Q5 It seemed as if I might have had more than one body. | More than one body | 2 ± 2 | 2 ± 2 | 0.880 |
Q6 It seemed as if the touch I was feeling came from somewhere between my own body and the virtual body. | Touch between | 2 ± 2 | 3 ± 3 | 0.366 |
Q7 It appeared (visually) as if the virtual body was drifting backwards (toward the real body). | Avatar drifting backwards | 2 ± 2 | 1 ± 1 | 0.180 |
Q8 During the experiment the body I saw was that of another person. | Another person | 3 ± 3 | 3 ± 2 | 0.525 |
Q9 When the fan descended over the head of the virtual body in front, it felt as if it could chop my head. | Head chop | 3 ± 3 | 3 ± 2 | 0.814 |
The question scores are on a 1–5 Likert scale with 1 indicating the most disagreement and 5 the most agreement with the statement. The median and interquartile range is given for each question by Synchronous and Asynchronous. The P-value is for test of equality of the two groups using two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test (n = 15 in each group).
