We find that without prior onset of the basic illusion there is no significant difference between reports of a RHI-like illusion for the non-hand object during synchronous touch vs. asynchronous touch.
This suggests that without prior onset of the basic illusion, it is more difficult to experience the illusion of touch on a non-hand object like a cardboard box.
The phenomena reported in experiment 2 also serve as indirect tests of the basic illusion created in this particular paradigm because the occurrence of these unusual experiential phenomena makes best sense on the assumption that the initial illusion is genuine and robust.
After replication of the basic illusion using centrally-presented stimuli, the auditory and visual components of the illusion stimuli were presented either both 10 degrees to the left or right of fixation (spatially congruent) or on opposite (spatially incongruent) sides, for a total separation of 20 degrees.
There was support for the secondary hypothesis that the odd experience of feeling a touch as if on a cardboard box would not arise without prior onset of the basic illusion.
The finding of touch on a non-hand object conflicts with prior findings, and to resolve this conflict a further hypothesis is successfully tested: that without prior onset of the basic illusion this unusual experience does not occur.
Participants are presented with further, unusual visuotactile stimuli subsequent to onset of the basic illusion.
Presence of the basic illusion where touch is projected to the seen foreign arm and felt as if produced by the visible finger tapping the foreign arm is here determined by participant scores as well as, as an independent measure, psychologically induced temperature changes of the participant's experimental limb [10].
