Table 1. Illusion-related and control statements.

Statistical results of post-hoc comparisons between synchronous and asynchronous conditions in the two groups and in both hands (Wilcoxon signed-rank test).

Synchronous vs Asynchronous
High suggestibility group Low suggestibility group
Right hand Left hand Right hand Left hand
Illusion-related statements
1. It seemed as if I felt the paintbrushes touching my finger where I saw the rubber hand being touched. Z = -2.829 Z = -4.134 Z = -4.091 Z = -4.471
P = 0.005 P < 0.001 P < 0.001 P < 0.001
2. It seemed like the touch I felt was caused by the paintbrushes touching the rubber hand. Z = -3.585 Z = -4.560 Z = -4.028 Z = -4.413
P < 0.001 P < 0.001 P < 0.001 P < 0.001
3. I felt as if the rubber hand was my own hand. Z = -4.337 Z = -4.312 Z = -4.036 Z = -3.660
P < 0.001 P < 0.001 P < 0.001 P < 0.001
Control statements
4. It felt like my hand was drifting toward the rubber hand. Z = -3.463 Z = -3.431 Z = -2.767 Z = -2.438
P = 0.001 P = 0.001 P = 0.006 P = 0.015
5. It seemed like I might have more than one hand or arm. Z = -2.080 Z = -1.932 Z = -2.782 Z = -1.481
P = 0.038 P = 0.053 P = 0.005 P = 0.139
6. It seemed as if the touch I was feeling came from somewhere between my own hand and the rubber hand. Z = -2.147 Z = -3.103 Z = -2.245 Z = -2.263
P = 0.032 P = 0.002 P = 0.025 P = 0.024
7. It felt like my hand was turning rubbery. Z = -2.134 Z = -2.695 Z = -2.523 Z = -0.789
P = 0.033 P = 0.007 P = 0.012 P = 0.430
8. It appeared as if the rubber hand were drifting towards my hand. Z = -1.560 Z = -2.389 Z = -0.120 Z = -1.980
P = 0.119 P = 0.017 P = 0. 904 P = 0.048
9. The rubber hand began to resemble my own hand. Z = -2.545 Z = -3.083 Z = -3.113 Z = -3.275
P = 0.011 P = 0.002 P = 0.002 P = 0.001
