Having a live huntsman spider on a rubber hand does not modulate the rubber-hand illusion in a top-down manner
Abstract The rubber-hand illusion is an illusion where a person embodies a rubber hand as if it were their own. After embodiment, many studies have threatened the false hand and measured physiological responses to the threat for the purposes of verification. For the first time, we tested if embodiment of the false hand could be modulated with a fearful stimulus already present prior to the elicitation of the illusion. This was done by having a live huntsman spider placed on top...
