Sound-Induced Flash Illusions Support Cortex Hyperexcitability in Fibromyalgia

Figure 1

Box plots of SIFI for fission illusion (a–b) and fusion illusion trials (c–d). Fission illusion trials in patients affected by fibromyalgia compared to healthy controls (a) and comparison of fission illusion trials in patients with fibromyalgia with and without migraine (b). Comparison between 0B and 1B trials showing fusion illusory effect in all participants (c). Fusion illusions in patients affected by fibromyalgia compared to healthy controls (d). The fission and fusion illusion trials and the mean number of perceived flashes are reported in the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. Median and interquartile ranges are reported.
