Protosteloid amoeba SSU sequences were hand aligned into an existing SSU rDNA multiple sequence alignment in MacClade (Sinauer Associates, Sunderland, MA) [82].
On the other hand, peaks aligned in time across trials would reinforce each other upon averaging.
Each leaf was then individually blotted dry, flattened by hand, and aligned in chronological order of emergence for photography purposes.
A variant of the rubber hand illusion is explored, in which the real and foreign hands are aligned in personal space.
In addition, the illusion is reduced if the rubber hand is not aligned in parallel with the real hand (Ehrsson et al., 2004; Tsakiris and Haggard, 2005; Costantini and Haggard, 2007), or if the direction of the brushstrokes on the two hands is not the same (Costantini and Haggard, 2007).
Cueing effects for specific combinations of target eccentricity and hand alignment were only significant for outer targets with hands aligned [see the error bars in Fig. 2C; inner targets, inner hands, t(21) = 0.7; inner targets, outer hands, t(21) = 1.9, p =.07; outer targets, inner hands, t(21) = 0.5; outer targets, outer hands, t(21) = 4.7, p <.001].
The upstream ( = left hand) ends of all GA-complexes were aligned in the vertical direction, which automatically also aligned the upstream ends of the GA-sequences.
Sequences were aligned in BioEdit [ 70] using the ClustalW algorithm and the alignment was then corrected by hand when necessary.
A rubber hand illusion is found that can arise when the real and the foreign arm are aligned in personal space.
