Phantoms in the brain
his book features different instances of how the brain reacts after a physical injury. The brain creates phantom imitations of body parts that have been damaged or destroyed. One example given is of a woman who believes that she is able to move her left arm despite being paralysed in reality. Another case study talks about a man who was in a fatal accident and lost his right arm. Yet, he states that he can feel actual movement in his arm. The author explains that this is merely the mind creating phantom sensations.
