Caption

In the study from Linköping University, healthy volunteers lay in a magnet resonance camera, which recorded images of brain activity (fMRI). Via a small screen, the participants were requested to stroke their arm slowly with their own hand, or were told that a researcher would stroke their arm in a similar manner.
