Synchronous Visuotactile Stimulation in syncF Successfully Induced the Friend-Body-Swap Illusion, Whereas Asynchronous Stimulation in asyncS Reduced Ownership of One's Own Actual Body

(A) Illusion scores were significantly higher in the synchronous than in the asynchronous conditions (p < 0.005). Plot shows means ± SE.

(B) Knife threats that occurred during the synchronous conditions triggered significantly stronger skin conductance responses than knife threats during the asynchronous conditions (p < 0.005). Bar plot shows means ± SE.

(C) Time courses of the skin conductance signal during knife threat events plotted for descriptive purposes. To take into account typical physiological variability of response latencies, we time-locked each response to its onset (time “0”; see Transparent Methods). Solid lines are averages of all trials, and shaded areas correspond to SE.
