The experimenter then begins to either tap or stroke the rubber hand, while simultaneously doing the same motion to the real hand in synchrony, which remains out of sight of the subject. After a few minutes of synchronised stroking of the artificial and the hidden hand, the subject should begin to associate the artificial hand as their own. This occurs to such an extent that even after the experimenter stops stroking the real hand, the subject still 'feels' the sensation when the rubber hand is stroked.

Finally, some rest.
Coursework - completed.
By pure chance, it turns out that my research project supervisor is out of the country this week, the week immediately after my final coursework assignment was handed in, meaning that I have had an entire week with absolutely nothing to do. It has been total bliss.
Starting on Tuesday we should hopefully be in a position to start the research. Initially we will pilot the equipment on ourselves, in order to check everything is in working order. Then we go live and begin testing our participants, and we are hoping to complete the bulk of the research in two or three weeks, provided we can keep a steady stream of particpants coming in and out of the lab.
Obviously I shall keep you up to date with our progress!
