Results of experiment 2. (A) Forces generated by participants (matched forces) as a function of the forces generated externally by the motor (presented forces) (mean ± SE across participants). (B) Mean force attenuation (matched forces – presented forces) across participants per condition. Participants pressed significantly weaker forces in the rubber25cm (yellow) condition compared with the real0cm (red) condition, even though the distance between the participants’ hands was identical (0 cm) in both conditions. (C) There were no significant differences in the experienced ownership between the two conditions. (D) Regression plot (and 95% confidence bands) showing that the stronger the ownership participants experienced toward the rubber hand in the rubber25cm condition, the less they attenuated their self-generated forces. An attenuation index of zero indicates that the attenuation in the rubber25cm condition is of the same magnitude as the attenuation during the real25cm condition.
