Your body can also extend it's senses to tools. Using a three step process of: Input>decipher>output. Common examples are typing on a keyboard, playing an instrument, or driving a car. Once your brain learns where, and why certain sensory inputs create the right output, you can entirley skip the deciphering stage. At this point the activity becomes second nature. (Do you think about walking?) This reminds me of a vest that vibrates in something like 27 different places, and once your brain acclimates you can recieve vibrations, which you translate into words. Communication through touch. Fascinating
This reminds me of a couple of things we've done before. I learned how to make your mind believe you have a string coming out of the palm of your hand. To do this, you have your child clench his fingers into a tight fist. Then, you hold the child's wrist firmly while rubbing the child's fingers. It's important you put your fingers completely around the child's wrist - not just part of it - and apply pressure. Rub the hand firmly from the top of the hand knuckles to the middle knuckles of the child's fingers while keeping a firm hold around the wrist. The rubbing motion for the child's hand is like petting a cat or dog (with a pulling motion) until the child's hand turns white (it loses some color). Still keeping your hand around the child's wrist, have him slowly open his fingers to reveal his palm. Then (again while keeping pressure on the child's wrist) draw a circle with your other hand on the child's palm then act like you've gathered a piece of string in your thumb and first two fingers. Next, act like you are pulling the string out of the hand very slowly in an upwards motion while very slowly releasing the pressure from the child's wrist until you've completely removed your fingers from the wrist. I've done this with my child and have had it done to me several times. It really feels like a string coming out of your palm! In reality, the person holding onto the wrist and doing the rubbing motion is cutting off the circulation, temporarily, in the person's hand while moving the existing blood supply towards the palm of the hand. Then, as the person slowly releases the pressure from the wrist, the blood starts returning to the hand while the blood in the palm moves out of the palm back into the body. I'm probably getting some of the science wrong, but essentially, as the blood circulation is restored, using the illusion of pulling a string from the palm tricks the mind into believing a string is being pulled out of their hand. There's another one we've done pretending to put a lot of bricks into a body through a pretend surgery while the person is laying down with their eyes closed. Then you have the person try to get up afterwards, and they can't for a few seconds because they feel like their body is too heavy. It's too long to describe in more details, but it's also a fun one to do.
The cutaneous rabbit illusion exploits the way our brains make computations, the structure of our neurons are very like analog circuits. VR games with tactile suits could be constructed to induce very real feeling, preprioceptive illusions of a hand touching a rough surface or a smooth surface using Bayesian inference.
i did something like that with one marble cross your first and middle finger and close your eyes and roll a marble or rubber ball on theese two fingers at the tips let me know what you felt

I used to do the double nose one with a pencil over the fingers, good times
4:51 could be a Kraftwerk video

Great!
i cant take the spinning monkeys sound seriously after all the tiktoks ive watched with it
awesome
