Experimental setup for able-bodied participants. (a) Two tappers were positioned to touch the same spots on the participant's biological hand and the rubber hand. The same setup was used for the original RHI experiment, where the tap stimulation was replaced by “stroking with a brush” stimulation. (b) Two different tapping stimulation areas were investigated: a small area of 1 cm2 (light blue area) and a larger area of 8 cm2 (dark blue area). For comparison: the area of a brushstroke (purple area). (c) The tip of the tapper was interchangeable to allow for the two different stimulation areas.
