“…In some clinical populations, e.g. people with schizophrenia (Thakkar, Nichols, McIntosh, & Park, 2011), or delusional skin infestation (Eccles et al, 2015), there is an enhanced plasticity of body ownership, with greater proprioceptive drift towards the rubber hand than controls. In contrast, people with autistic spectrum conditions have a reduced susceptibility to the rubber hand illusion (Cascio, Foss-Feig, Burnette, Heacock, & Cosby, 2012;Paton, Hohwy, & Enticott, 2012), suggesting that clinical syndromes are distributed along a spectrum of body ownership plasticity, arguably a proxy for the strength of self-representation (such as self/other distinction).…”
