Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Our goal is to assess possible differences in body plasticity between different groups and to relate these with sensory capabilities (for example sensory thresholds). Additionally, we will use questionnaires aiming at body integrity as well as magnetic resonance imaging (functional and structural) and peripheral physiological measurements (for example startle response). There will be no multiple measurements. No intervention is applied.	—
