AB  - Previous studies have examined the experience of owning a virtual surrogate body 
      or body part through specific combinations of cross-modal multisensory 
      stimulation. Both visuomotor (VM) and visuotactile (VT) synchronous stimulation 
      have been shown to be important for inducing a body ownership illusion, each 
      tested separately or both in combination. In this study we compared the relative 
      importance of these two cross-modal correlations, when both are provided in the 
      same immersive virtual reality setup and the same experiment. We systematically 
      manipulated VT and VM contingencies in order to assess their relative role and 
      mutual interaction. Moreover, we present a new method for measuring the induced 
      body ownership illusion through time, by recording reports of breaks in the 
      illusion of ownership ('breaks') throughout the experimental phase. The balance 
      of the evidence, from both questionnaires and analysis of the breaks, suggests 
      that while VM synchronous stimulation contributes the greatest to the attainment 
      of the illusion, a disruption of either (through asynchronous stimulation) 
      contributes equally to the probability of a break in the illusion.
