(A) Creation of the look-alike avatar, the three pictures used for the avatar generation on the top. On the bottom, the final pictures used for the experiment as real and virtual. (B) Experimental execution. The six faces (self-real, self-virtual, familiar-real, familiar-virtual, unfamiliar-real, unfamiliar-virtual) were randomly ordered in blocks of 10. Each face was displayed for 300 ms, followed by a variable time of 740–1340 ms in which a fixation cross appeared. After each block there was a short resting period of 2 s for blinking.
