The immersive spatiotemporal hallucination model of dreaming (2010, background): “In the rubber-hand illusion (Botvinick and Cohen 1998) and FBIs in virtual reality setups (Lenggenhager et al. 2007; Ehrsson 2007), conflicting visual and tactile stimulation triggers illusory ownership for the rubber hand or virtual body and spatial mislocalization.”
The building blocks of the full body ownership illusion (2013, background): “The true body seen in front was perceived as something like an “empty shell” or a “disowned body” (Ehrsson, 2007; Lenggenhager et al., 2009; Guterstam and Ehrsson, 2012).”
The use of visual feedback, in particular mirror visual feedback, in restoring brain function. (2009, background): “Two other groups have found similar effects using virtual reality set ups (Ehrsson, 2007; Lenggenhager et al., 2007).”
My body in the brain: a neurocognitive model of body-ownership. (2010, positive): “These manipulations demonstrate the efficiency of current multisensory input in determining the experience of a minimal 1 st person-perspective (Ehrsson, 2007), self-location (Leggenhager et al, 2007) and self-identification (Petkova & Ehrsson, 2008), three conditions that are critical for the…”
Inducing Illusory Ownership of a Virtual Body (2009, methodology): “…subjects reported a strong illusion of being behind their physical bodies as judged by the questionnaire responses, for example ‘I experienced that I was located at some distance behind the visual image of myself, almost as if I were looking at someone else’ (Supplementary Figure 1, Ehrsson, 2007).”
Avatar Embodiment. Towards a Standardized Questionnaire (2018, background): “Additionally, classification 1 about body ownership is dependent on the use of either collocated or not collocated avatars; since not collocated avatars can generate an Out-of-body illusion (Ehrsson, 2007; Lenggenhager et al., 2007; Bourdin et al., 2017).”
Virtual reality in neuroscience research and therapy (2011, background): “Several researchers have used VR to demonstrate a full-body version of this effec”
If I Were You: Perceptual Illusion of Body Swapping (2008, neutral): “By changing the visual perspective, it is possible to induce the feeling of being in a different place [21,22,23] or, even, illusory ‘out-of-body experiences’ where people seem to lose ownership of their own body when observing it from the point of view of another person (which we refer to as the th”
Immersive Journalism: Immersive Virtual Reality for the First-Person Experience of News (2010, background): “…people the illusion that alien objects (such as a rubber hand) are part of their body (Botvinick & Cohen, 1998), or induce out of body experiences (Ehrsson, 2007; Lenggenhager, Tadi, Metzinger, & Blanke, 2007), or give people a sense of ownership over a virtual body, as if the virtual body had…”
Enhancing Our Lives with Immersive Virtual Reality (2016, background): “(2007)15 and Ehrsson (2007)16 went on to show how similar multisensory techniques could be used to induce out-of-body illusions.”
Towards a Digital Body: The Virtual Arm Illusion (2008, background): “Similarly, people can be made to feel an illusion of being in different place from their seen physical body and lose the sense of ownership of it using a similar video-based technique (Ehrsson, 2007).”
Full-body illusions and minimal phenomenal selfhood. (2009, methodology): “Ehrsson [ 28 ] used a similar set‐up but stroked subjects on their chests (hidden from the view of the camera).”
