Debriefing Sheet

Thanks for participating in the experiment.

In the games you play, sometimes you see your own movements like what you'd see normally (e.g., you see how your hands move according to how you move it), but sometimes your visual experience deviate from what you command your hand to do and what you feel from the movements of your hand. How much you pick up on the mismatch and how much you perceptual system tolerate the mismatch determine how much weaker you experience the visual feedback as yourself.

What we were testing in these games was how the yellow ball's motion influenced your tolerance for the mismatch. Sometimes the ball appeared to be causally "launched" by the cursor, in a physical manner. Critically, sometimes it appeared to suddenly start moving on it's own when the cursor get near, as if it is avoiding the cursor as in a social interaction. Since we often think of ourselves and our actions in the social terms, compared to the physical terms, we are testing if this tendency translate to different levels of tolerance for the mismatch between what you see and what you feel from your hand movements.

Please don't hesitate to contact the researcher if you have any questions.
