Our previous studies showed that dexamphetamine, an indirect dopamine agonist, widens Stimulus Binding Windows (BWs) in healthy subjects. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of nabilone, a synthetic cannabinoid agonist, on the BWs in a unimodal illusion: the tactile funneling illusion (TFI). The study also aimed to study the association between tactile illusion with psychometric...
