“…Individuals with higher schizotypy tend to have stronger responses to visual-tactile (rubber-hand and Barbie doll) illusions (Asai et al, 2011;Germine et al, 2013;Van Doorn et al, 2018), which also aligns with findings in schizophrenia (Peled, Ritsner, Hirschmann, Geva, & Modai, 2000;Thakkar, Nichols, Mcintosh, & Park, 2011). These illusions, while requiring intact multisensory integration, also assess traits like susceptibility to out-of-body experiences and altered perception of body ownership, which are higher among individuals in the schizophrenia spectrum (Benson, Brugger, & Park, 2019;Hur, Kwon, Lee, & Park, 2014). This may explain why the intact multisensory integration found in these visual-tactile illusions does not align with the majority of investigations into audiovisual multisensory integration in individuals with schizophrenia, which have found decreased multisensory integration compared to controls (de Jong, Hodiamont, Van den Stock, & de Gelder, 2009;Tseng et al, 2015;Williams, Light, Braff, & Ramachandran, 2010).…”
