Body Schema Illusions: A Study of the Link between the Rubber Hand and Kinesthetic Mirror Illusions through Individual Differences

Figure 1

Illustration of the experimental setup for the kinesthetic mirror illusion task. The participant sat at a table and faced a box compartmentalized by a vertical mirror. (a) The participant’s left arm was supported by a motorized manipulandum that could flex the arm. Visible to the participant, the vertical mirror reflected the image of their left arm. (b) Invisible to the participant, their right arm was supported by a static manipulandum and held at a 15° angle.
