An example of phantom limbs, and what they illustrate about (1) somatosensory representation in cortex and (2) the plasticity of cortical representations in general.
I really enjoyed this video, especially because he was able to provide a clear example using car electrical work with the way that our brain is wired as well as how the adaptable our brains truly are.
greetings from Steve Joordan's 2021 course. I've had those phantom menstrual cramps (and ovary pain) and it's freaky. Thankfully over time the sensation has lessened, or else I've simply gotten used to it.
Pretty neat study. Question for all the people out there. I have heard from many people that are not amputees have a simulation as though there cell phones are vibrating,but find out there cell phones are not on there person? How can this be? Is it from people using there cell phones for an extremely length of time and placing the phone and the brain
If a person was born without a limb, how would they know it’s a phantom effect if they never felt the actual feeling before? Compared to a person who was born with a limb and then lost it.
I'm just wondering if the pain he explained earlier in the video simply went away with time or if the doctor helped him with it... and if so, how did he help him?
yeah it is a mirror therapy just give the amputated patients a feeling of virtual existence of the missing limb....just to relief the phantom pain and bizarre sensation!!
I wonder how is it with chocken's head off.. You know, when you cut off the chicken's head it can still be running around the yard for few hours. I'm intersted how & why is it happening?
Coursera class 2020.....Introduction Psychology...... Professor Steve( reference) This is simply amazing how the brain works.
Yeah
Who's here from Coursera, via by Steve Joordens Psychology course?
Me too!
@@akdkumar I am doing it the moment too
Me too......👍
just 20 minutes ago
me too
thats amazing!!..and hats off to Dr.Ramachandran to think over the primary somatic sensory cortex in such a different way !!!!
I know right
Here because of recommendation from coursera class 2023 by Prof.Steve Joordens (Introduction to Psychology). What fascinating knowledge🙌 thank you.

You should thank Steve Joordens for that many views.

Very interesting phenomenon. I had a client who had an issue with phantom pain.
Wow brilliant and fascinating explanation!
Does anyone know where I can find part two of this video?? I would really appreciate it!!

This is pequod, arriving at LZ shortly!

Who else agrees that Ramachandran looks and sounds like Neil DeGrasse?
Do you guys think that this also works for the motor strip? Or is this rewiring only possible for the sensory cortex/strip?
Yes! The more you use, the bigger area on the motor cortex it’ll take up
Adding to other comment:
What I'm trying to get to is that is this considered " phantom behavior?
Science is beautiful!

What is the name of that machine they're using to scan the brain?
Windows 98
that's a really interestng and enlighting video
very informative!!
Hello Cognitive Cannibals!
Genius!
MRI?
This seems pretty intuitive doesn’t it.
was the brain scan a MRI scan?

Hit like if you came from coursera course from prof joordens
Prof Joordens is an exceptional teacher.
@@sharonemanuel6290 can second that!
😮😮 that's fascinating
You can feel it too can't you
Who’s here because they just like learning new things.
Ramchandran!
That explains it.
its quite surprising. how brain works????
:)
Hook gang, rise up.
I want a mooc from Ramachandran
8:32 trans women who are on estrogen can even get phantom menstrual pain, without ever even having the body parts for it in the first place
no such thing as relatix or not
