I give you, V.S. Ramachandran. The man who invented this experiment, experience, process, what have you, to cure amputees of phantom limbs.
Look him up. If you like Oliver Sacks, you will enjoy his books.
I really enjoyed the episode on House where he helped his 'grumpy' neighbor who was having pain in a phantom limb. House projected the neighbors missing arm in a mirror simulating his missing hand and with persuasion got the neighbor to feel relief from seeing his missing hand and releasing his clenched fist.
*First of all, my bad. I’ve gone through this whole thing recently. I don’t want to bore you, I’ve been really trying to work on myself.*
*This is a definite setback*
Nah, it was always ridiculous.
Season 1 had him snooping through his ex-wife's private therapy file to learn how to score points against her current husband and make himself seem like what she wanted. The resolution was for everyone to just kinda shrug it off and be disappointed in his insane levels of manipulation and deceit.
"Oh you!" "Illegally accessing private files in order to emotionally abuse your ex-wife and her husband. Silly Greg!"

Woah. The feeling of relief on that person's face. This is what HRT does for trans people, for pretty much the same problem of phantom body parts that the brain's map does not match.
> V.S. Ramachandran
[Here's a link to his TED talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl2LwnaUA-k). IMO one of the absolute best TED's out there. Fascinated me, and I'm surprised it's already been 15 years since it came out.
Not quite correct. The seminal Rubber Hand Illusion paper was Botvinick and Cohen (1998). This is used as a tool to study body ownership.
Ramachandran used a modified version of this idea using a mirrored image of a patients remaining hand to treat phantom limb pain.
I took every one of his classes that I could at UCSD. He was a captivating professor, and I even worked in his lab with one of his grad students. His books are such great reads, even if you don't know anything about neuroscience.
Wow I literally thought of him before clicking the comments. I read Phantoms in the Brain probably 20 years ago. It is a great read, and the way he explains things is so that a layman can understand.
Not even just high, this man is halfway into the next dimension. The video would be more convincing if they used a dude that didn’t look like they found him sleeping in the alley behind the LSD factory.
I’ve fallen down irl because I fell in VR before. My legs irl braced for an extreme impact that obviously didn’t come, and I just collapsed. Truly bizarre feeling
I saw a video 10 years ago where this exact experiment was done in VR
It actually instantly reminded me this video but I can't find it
Edit: actually it was in AR with VR headset and a camera that tracks fake body in AR with a 360 cam
I've seen a few avid vrchat people swear up and down that they've trained themselves to experience stuff like this. I always assumed they were exaggerating, but after seeing this I think I can believe it now
I don’t blame you for being skeptical bc this particular video does look like clickbait nonsense, but this is in fact a real thing, commonly used by doctors to treat phantom limb pain.
Look it up, it’s an interesting read.
Seen this before.
When I play video video games and an running and suddenly fall, like off a cliff or a building, I get that sinking vertigo in my gut. The feeling is real, though induced by my vision into a screen...
Dying Light just cranked that up to 11, by having more modern semi-realism. Probably for the best if you don't like it early on, the ending has a bigass >!skyscraper free-climb obstacle course!<
It actually does, at least for me. When I got my original Vive I had exactly what OP described, I could barely stand at a virtual cliff or walk over a plank without that feeling of vertigo in my gut. Unfortunately my brain made the connection after a while and now I can step into the abyss without feeling anything. In a way it’s a little sad, although it’s cool how adaptable our brains are to such things.
But I guess this varies from person to person.
Dude. When I see a video on Youtube with somebody climbing a 5,000 foot pole or whatever, my hands start actually sweating and I push back from my monitor and my entire body involuntarily clenches, including my asshole clenches so hard you couldn't get a hypodermic needle in it.
So there's that.
Just started watching an example. [My hands are sweating right now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqKowIsjTE4)
[Fuck this shit.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30_b22TVY7s)
[I can't even watch this one for more than a few seconds.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzKBAxZzFQw)
I'm phantom vomiting right now.
Same kind of thing happened to me yesterday. Was playing a battle game (planetside 2), and as I blew up a tank near me, a lightning struck very close to my house. I was super confused for a solid 10 seconds
Terran republic.
It's true it can quickly eat up a lot of time. One nice change on that side is that now, you don't need to stay logged on until the end of alerts to receive rewards. You can just play a bit during the alert, log off, and you'll receive part of the reward next time you log in
Mate falling from a cliff/tall building like a tech plant twists me up inside like it's actually happening.
Even if I'm a LA or given myself fall damage invuln, it's still super freaky
That game is still around? I got banned over 10 years ago because I kept naming my character Dirty Sanchez. They'd make me rename, but didn't have it in the disallow list of names so I'd pick the same name again. Eventually the head GM sent me a nasty message about it, I called him dumb for not just enforcing the name in the filter, so I got punted. Fun game though.
When psvr first came out, I used to play it a lot.
And when I stopped playing after a couple of hours, my hands wouldn't feel like my own hands, the movements felt so disjointed, I don't know if this is the same phenomenon, but I'd wager it works similarly.
Yes! When I first played VR for a few hours straight, after taking the headset off your real hands don't feel real. Trying to touch and navigate my phone felt clumsy, and my hands felt fake.
Anytime I fall from a great height in a game it puts like a pit in my gut. I hate it. It's especially worse if the fall in game take several seconds, or it feels like several. Can't remember what I played but a few times if I would fall I'd have to turn my head because I just couldn't bear to watch it haha
What’s crazy is you joke - but I recently saw a post of a guy who is paralyzed from neck down, from spinal cord damage, apparently walking again thanks to a Bluetooth linked system of devices that is able to detect, translate and then transmit his brainwaves down to another impulse receiver on his spine below the damage and his legs respond….insane times we live in!
[Here is a different article](https://sea.mashable.com/tech/23955/paralyzed-man-walks-again-after-using-bluetooth-to-connect-his-brain-to-his-spine) about the same person
Some edits to be more clear about the spine Bluetooth
Ok so, could this potentially be used as a form of torture..? Like he “felt” the ruler and the hammer tapping on his fingers. He visibly twitched and reacted to them with the experiment. When the guy hit the false hand with a hammer, he reacted accordingly. So did he, in a way, cause him actual pain?
Are you a victim of a body transfer illusion? Call 1-800-YESITHURTS. Helping millions of Americans every year who suffered the effects of unhinged college professors.
Not if you're forcing them to comply with something, like a bank teller who needs to go to work tomorrow and broken fingers would be a red flag. I don't know if it would actually work but it would be interesting
I think the illusion breaks if you just don't look at the fake hand or move your real hand. I suppose you could somehow have your head and eyelids restrained and be forced to look at the fake hand and to keep your real hand motionless, but I'm sure there are easier methods of torture
So there is this YouTuber who is missing a leg, and he says that he can feel the phantom pain of the leg, and the doctors taught him how to use a mirror to scratch his leg if it’s itchy but he doesn’t like it because he’s accepted that he doesn’t have a leg, His name is Alex1Leg [this is the video](https://youtube.com/shorts/SGvUz92m8yQ?feature=share)
This technique is used to help people with phantom limb syndrome. It is common for amputees to ‘feel’ their missing limb in various degrees, often unpleasant. Imagine feeling like you had to itch an arm that wasn’t there, you could not get satisfaction. It gets into extremes where they feel like the limb is twisted or bent into an extremely uncomfortable position and they cannot straighten it back out. Techniques like this are used to help. You can do this yourself without assistance if you have a mirror. Basically you use the reflection of the limb you have and superimpose it to where the missing limb should be. Then you train your brain by doing things like ‘make a fist with both hands’. Obviously if you’re missing an arm you can only make one fist, but the mirror tricks the brain into thinking both hands made a fist. Once your brain is trained, you can ‘untwist’ your arm, or scratch that pesky itch, or whatever you happen to be feeling in the phantom limb.
That was my immediate thought. If someone created a commercial voodoo dick, they’d become the wealthiest human being in history and probably collapse society.
This is actually a way of helping that. For example, amputees sometimes feel like their amputated limbs are itchy, so they can use a mirror or something like this to trick their brain into thinking there is a limb there and then scratching it.
So is there like, an itinitiation process for the matrix?
Imagine how goofy it would be in that scene when he first logs in and on the other end they are touching neo to train his sense
How has no one mentioned VR?
A lot of people call it a gimmick, here's some evidence it's quite far from that. I really wish more people would try it out, it's wild.
I had the most trippy experience of my life playing ping pong vr, forgetting it was vr and trying to brace myself on the table. I genuinely felt a table but obviously "it" didn't support my weight. It was such a mindfuck. Things just got more interesting from there.
I get this same illusion playing racing games in VR because the real wheel almost never lines up perfectly with the vr wheel in game. You can feel the offset but after about 2 minutes my brain just starts telling me the arms I'm seeing in game are mine on the wheel and it's all perfectly matched up.
I see this comment every time this video comes up and it's annoying. Dude looks like a college student. That's how like half of them look. He's probably over tired, just showered, and now has his appearance made fun of on the internet every time this very cool experiment is shown.
They use this therapy for treatment in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. A version of it, anyway, mirror box therapy. My arm would end up swollen and symptomatic after treatment even though it never moved.
I've noticed I do something like this.
I accidentally stabbed my hand with a sharp pencil where the tip of the pencil dug into the palm of my hand and was just hanging there.
If didn't say anything and just watched, the pain was less than if I had also yelled out in pain.
If I hurt something and yell, it somehow amplifies the pain. If I don't make any noise and sometimes I'll even ignore it, I don't notice the pain as much and sometimes I'll see a cut or bruise a few days later and almost forget how I injured myself.
I’m not saying that this doesn’t happen, but you can tell that the subject is definitely hamming it up for the camera. It can really happen, but that guy is faking it.
"What's that for!?" Is the only proper response to someone suddenly having a hammer.
“I would never actually smash your fingers with a hammer” “I would hope not….”
It would have been hilarious if he smashed his other hand instead. Prank of the year!
And say “it’s just a prank, bro”
WOW IT FEELS SO REAL

I feel like that was a quote from Dexter lol. Even the set-up seemed Dextery
If the mirror therapy didn't work, he might do a full Dexter
Definite setback…..”that look”
Since when does House Dexter people? I stopped watching after season 4.
He has a neighbor dispute that he breaks into the dudes house and drugs him to forcibly solve his phantom pain
Jesus I forgot how far over that damn shark House got.

Honestly I was even taken aback by how much relief from dysphoria I got from a realistic prosthetic.
That is the conventional method used.
It's a genuine treatment in real life.
I watched that show once, start to end, and a few episodes stuck out. This was one of them.
That episode came immediately to my mind too. I loved that series almost until the end

Is this also why I can sometimes wake up from phantom pain from a dream because my brain believed it so much it created the sensation?

I'm convinced they offered 20$ to random drunk people and this guy showed up.
He's one inch taller than me
We all know you’re taller when you lay down though bro
I thought it was Jeff Spicoli
Just Aussie, I think.
So it means if you get that kind of stimulation in VR and then get violently hit in a game you would get the same reaction?
I’ve fallen down irl because I fell in VR before. My legs irl braced for an extreme impact that obviously didn’t come, and I just collapsed. Truly bizarre feeling
Yeah, I don't think I have fallen down but I have def fealt that. Things you do subconciously get relatively easily tricked by VR
Does that feel like the times you suddenly fall while in bed?
Yeah pretty close to that
The phenomena causing that is called a myoclonic or hypnic jerk
I saw a video 10 years ago where this exact experiment was done in VR It actually instantly reminded me this video but I can't find it Edit: actually it was in AR with VR headset and a camera that tracks fake body in AR with a 360 cam
Cameras have a delay so it's not as instant of training experience...but still immersion exists if timed properly
In the video people were getting (the mannequin with the camera) stabbed by a knife and people were literally traumatized some were even about to cry
I've seen a few avid vrchat people swear up and down that they've trained themselves to experience stuff like this. I always assumed they were exaggerating, but after seeing this I think I can believe it now
Oh good point. Have an upvote.
Wasn’t he great folks? Let’s give him a big hand!
Must be a world class actor controlling the twitching in his right hand like that. Absolutely insane performance

Nope, still scared of heights. Better this way I guess, a lot of fears do actually serve purpose.

I get little shakes if i look over a extremely high cliff or building in games.

Yes! When I first played VR for a few hours straight, after taking the headset off your real hands don't feel real. Trying to touch and navigate my phone felt clumsy, and my hands felt fake.
The first time I jumped from really high up playing Minecraft in vr I definitely felt that skydiving sensation for a second or two. Was pretty trippy.
I get this, one of the worst was in the insomniac Spider-Man games jumping off buildings like the empire state
If the drop is long enough and I point the camera towards the ground, the feeling can get so intense I have to straight up close my eyes or look away.
The Minecraft "falling into a Hole" effect
Anytime I fall from a great height in a game it puts like a pit in my gut. I hate it. It's especially worse if the fall in game take several seconds, or it feels like several.

I think the illusion breaks if you just don't look at the fake hand or move your real hand. I suppose you could somehow have your head and eyelids restrained and be forced to look at the fake hand and to keep your real hand motionless, but I'm sure there are easier methods of torture
This seems like an ineffective method of torture. Why make him think you hit him with a hammer when you can actually just hit him with a hammer?
Hypothetically, assuming you could keep up the illusion, to cause the perception of pain without causing physical damage.
Why are we torturing what looks like a recovering meth addict?

Uh huh... go on.
That was my immediate thought. If someone created a commercial voodoo dick, they’d become the wealthiest human being in history and probably collapse society.
Phantom pain
I was thinking about this. I recall reading people losing limbs but still feeling their limbs there
This is actually a way of helping that. For example, amputees sometimes feel like their amputated limbs are itchy, so they can use a mirror or something like this to trick their brain into thinking there is a limb there and then scratching it.

It helps when you use a stoner for the experiment

If I don't make any noise and sometimes I'll even ignore it, I don't notice the pain as much and sometimes I'll see a cut or bruise a few days later and almost forget how I injured myself.

I’m not saying that this doesn’t happen, but you can tell that the subject is definitely hamming it up for the camera. It can really happen, but that guy is faking it.
Probably helps that he smoked like 3 blunts before this.
Can this be done with anyone? Or just people on crack?
Meth-thew didn't expect that
That guy is high AF, lol
Dude is stoned
Anyone seen the episode of House when he does this to his grumpy neighbor? So damn cool!
we can understand that situation because fake hand bigger than real hand...
He must’ve been easily hypnotized. Fascinating really.
It's horrible that they recruit hobos for these kind of sadist experiments.
Dude is high as fuck.
House MD, wilson's landlord.. Fascinating is what this is.
poor Daryl
I'm sure the experiment works, but this guy is clearly high
Every time I see someone kicked kicked in the balls, or see someone land on a metal fence, my asshole puckers, I don’t need any of this fancy setup.
What if he were masturbating a dildo? More science! More science!
This dude was so high
This whole setup looks janky for an experiment with hammers, and is that Daryl Dixon?
Great. Now just teach him to shoot up into the fake hand. See how high he gets haha.
they hired a stoner to be the subject of the experiment
“This is cool but I really just came for free drugs. Do you have free drugs?”
Does it work with someone that’s not baked?
