I came across an interesting article and video on New Scientist and thought i would share. I had to find other sources as you have to be a subscriber to NS to see the full content.
Basically, the video is showing how you can trick your brain by stroking a fake rubber hand and your real hand at the same time. You put the rubber hand on the table in front of you. Now position your real hand in the same way but cover it so it’s out of sight. Then get someone to touch and stroke your unseen hand and the rubber hand with identical strokes. If you concentrate on the rubber hand, you will probably get the uncanny feeling that it is your own.
I’m so going to try this…now where can i get a rubber hand??
