What is embodiment? A psychometric approach
Open accessAbstract
What is it like to have a body? The present study takes a psychometric approach to this question. We collected structured introspective reports of the rubber hand illusion, to systematically investigate the structure of bodily self-consciousness. Participants observed a rubber hand that was stroked either synchronously or asynchronously with their own hand and then made proprioceptive judgments of the location of their own hand and used Likert scales to rate their agreement or disagreement with 27 statements relating to their subjective experience of the illusion. Principal components analysis of this data revealed four major components of the experience across conditions, which we interpret as: embodiment of rubber hand, loss of own hand, movement, and affect. In the asynchronous condition, an additional fifth component, deafference, was found. Secondary analysis of the embodiment of runner hand component revealed three subcomponents in both conditions: ownership, location, and agency. The ownership and location components were independent significant predictors of proprioceptive biases induced by the illusion. These results suggest that psychometric tools may provide a rich method for studying the structure of conscious experience, and point the way towards an empirically rigorous phenomenology.

TL;DR
This study applies psychometric methods (principal components analysis) to structured introspective reports of the rubber hand illusion to decompose the experience of embodiment. It identifies four components present in both synchronous and asynchronous conditions, with an additional deafference component in the asynchronous condition, and shows that ownership and location subcomponents independently predict proprioceptive drift.
Key findings
In the synchronous condition, PCA extracted four components accounting for 55.3% of variance: embodiment of rubber hand (26.3% of variance), loss of own hand, movement, and affect. In the asynchronous condition, five components emerged accounting for 59.4% of variance, with the same four plus a new deafference component (embodiment accounted for 24.6%). Secondary PCA on the ten embodiment items revealed three subcomponents in both conditions — ownership, location, and agency — accounting for 79.0% (synchronous) and 76.2% (asynchronous) of variance, with ownership comprising 35.4% and 34.3% respectively. Proprioceptive displacement toward the rubber hand was significant after synchronous stroking (1.34 cm, t(119) = 4.56, p < .0001) but not asynchronous (0.30 cm, n.s.), and was predicted by the embodiment component (β = 0.609, p < .001), specifically by the location (β = .485, p < .005) and ownership (β = .425, p < .01) subcomponents but not agency (β = .110, n.s.).
Methods
131 current and prospective UCL students (75 female; all but six right-handed) participated. Participants viewed a rubber hand stroked either synchronously or asynchronously (180° out of phase, ~1 Hz) with their own hand for 60 seconds, made pre- and post-test proprioceptive location judgments, and rated agreement with 27 statements on a 7-point Likert scale. Separate PCAs with varimax rotation were run per condition, followed by secondary PCAs on the embodiment items, ANOVAs on component scores, and multiple linear regression relating component scores to proprioceptive displacement.
Limitations
The paper states that the selection of questionnaire items restricts the potential structure that can emerge, and that additional components of embodiment may not have been covered; it also notes that the structure found may not generalise to other uses of the term "embodiment" (e.g., emphases on affect, sublinguistic thought, or social interaction). Evident from the text: proprioceptive judgments from 11 participants were missing or unusable, and the questionnaire items were designed based on qualitative research with only five participants.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
