  • My heart rate would go up too if some guy started stroking my arm when I was playing video games.

  • Maybe he felt "threatened" because he thought that since he was being stroked in real life he would get slapped in real life. I don't think it was necessarily because he identified with his virtual body.

  • You can get an out of body experience with just a couple of mirrors. No virtual reality needed. Search on "A simple method to stand outside oneself" for the article.

  • @flyingemu27 Correct.That entirely accounts for the emprical evidence and that answer is more accuarate than it first appears.The unrigorously defined idea of his "personal identity" (which is composed of many many different parts according to the circumstance) is not "transferred" to (or rather *associated* with) the graphic on the screen if they aren't relevant to the strategic logic of the scenario here.He learned that what happens on screen is likely to happen to him.
