(A) Somatosensory evoked potentials. During the illusion condition (BS), only the amplitude of the P45 component of somatosensory evoked potentials (recorded at electrode C3 contralateral to the stimulated right median nerve, N = 10) was found to significantly differ from the control condition (BAS). The amplitude of the P45 component (grand average somatosensory evoked potential) in the two experimental conditions is shown in the small inserted plot (same colour-code as in the larger plot; red: synchronous; black: asynchronous; error bars are SEM). (B) Correlation. The plot shows the P45 amplitude relative to baseline at electrode C3 for each participant (N = 10). Analysis revealed that the amplitude of the P45 component correlated significantly and positively with the self-identification ratings with the virtual body. This was only found during the BS condition (amplitude and rating are plotted as standardized z-scores).
