Questionnaire results.

Median ± IQR
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).
