Experiment 2. (a) The subjects wore two elastic wrist bands (black bands in figure) on their right hand through this experiment and held a brush in their right hand. As in Experiment 1, the experimenter started each condition by brushing the left hand of the subjects and a rubber hand, either synchronously or asynchronously. This was followed by the numbness test; subjects either relaxed while the experimenter picked their right hand and brushed the rubber hand (other condition), or brushed the rubber hand themselves, while the experimenter kept a light touch on their hand (self condition). (b) The numbness score and the ownership score on the seven-point Likert scales plotted together. A 2 × 2 ANOVA revealed that, while the ownership did not change between the self and other conditions, the numbness changed significantly, F1,88 = 5.46, p = 0.02.
