Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The dependable variables are the two behaviour illusion quantification, namely; pointing with the left hand towards the felt location of the right hand and vice versa and perceptual mirroring of the position of both hands. We will be looking at the difference between the effect of the illusion on the perceptual and motor responses after rTMS and placebo.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The third dependant variable is the questionnaire concerning the vividness and nature of the RHI. We will examine whether there is a correlation between the rating of the vividness and the effect of the illusion on the perceptual responses.
