This is super interesting finding, and it clearly indicates that how perception through our senses are very limited. Your mind can be easily be tricked through your senses.
Phantom limb pain
After you have part of your arm or leg amputated, there’s a chance you could feel pain in the limb that’s no longer there. This is known as phantom limb pain.Causes
Researchers don’t know exactly what causes phantom limb pain. One possible explanation: Nerves in parts of your spinal cord and brain“rewire” when they lose signals from the missing arm or leg. As a result, they send pain signals, a typical response when your body senses something is wrong.
Mirror box therapy. Picture a box with no lid. It has two holes -- one for your remaining limb and one for the stump -- and a mirror in the center. When you put your limb and stump inside, you see the reflection of the intact arm or leg in the mirror. It tricks your brain into thinking you have both limbs as you do therapy exercises. Research shows this can help relieve pain in a missing limb.
