  1. 01HumanOther designEfficacy outcome

    In healthy volunteers, intranasal oxytocin enhanced the subjective feeling of ownership in the rubber hand illusion, only when synchronous tactile stimulation was involved.

    In plain wordsIn healthy volunteers, oxytocin made the feeling that a rubber hand was their own stronger, but only with matched touch.

    Summary · context
    The present, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study ( n = 41 healthy volunteers) aimed to investigate the effect of intranasal oxytocin (IN-OT) on multisensory integration processes, tested by means of the RHI and the SWI.
  2. 02HumanOther designEfficacy outcome

    In healthy volunteers, intranasal oxytocin increased an embodied version of the size-weight illusion, measured as estimation error in a weight estimation task.

    In plain wordsIn healthy volunteers, oxytocin increased the error in weight estimates in a body-based version of the size-weight illusion.
