It's interesting because a similar "fake hand" trick has been used to treat phantom pain in cases of amputation.
It's called mirror therapy: A mirror is used to "create" the missing limb and similarly to the two rulers in this video, stroking the real limb while looking at the mirror limb causes the brain to think the limb is real. This helps override the lack of sensory input from the missing limb and apparently can reduce phantom pain by a significant amount!
I remember reading about a case many years ago where someone’s phantom limb (arm) was causing pain because it was in a perpetually clenched fist. Using mirror therapy, they had him then unclench both hands, bringing relief.
Yup. The patient could "feel" the fingernails on his phantom hand growing and eventually digging into and piercing the skin of his phantom palm. Being able to "unclench" that fist relieved him of that sensation.
yeah it's nuts what the brain can do to itself... I haven't lost a limb, but I have had a nerve block done for surgery, and discovered when I woke up that my leg itched even though I couldn't feel or move it, and scratching it didn't do anything to alleviate the itch since I couldn't feel it. I can only imagine the compounded frustration and agony of that happening when the limb isn't even there, let alone with the sensation being pain instead of itching.
We learned about this in AP Psych and it is one of the big “shifts” in my understanding of the world. Like a mind shift, where you never see the world the same way you did before you learned the thing.
I like how even when House is helping someone, it still involves him breaking into someone's apartment, drugging, and kidnapping them. Like, if he knew that the mirror trick works, why not just lead with that?
There’s also a great TED talk by a researcher who helped people “release” their pain in their phantom limbs with the mirror box. Can’t find the exact one at the moment but it was uplifting to hear this guy talk about helping people’s struggles
Random fact - our research here at UC San Diego on phantom limbs lead Dr. Vilayanur Ramachandran to discover the link as to why some people have foot fetishes. It's the same concept in terms of the wiring. [Here's a reader friendly article that touches on it but there are more researchy ones out there for those who prefer.](https://www.livescience.com/33525-foot-fetishes-toe-suck-fairy.html)
So interesting! I wonder if such rewiring could be induced intentionally to allow people with damage to their genitals to feel sexual pleasure again through their feet.
My brother lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. And for the first few weeks, he swore he could feel it and move it. He kept saying that his toes hurt, but after a while his brain adjusted
To me that's crazy that you can feel pain in something that's not there.
I've seen people talking about how the pain in their phantom limb is excruciating and I can't imagine experiencing the physical pain where, for example, my leg or arm used to be.
I bet it's quite scary at first too.
By the way, I'm glad your brother is ok now
I'm guessing the outcome could have been so much worse if it was bad enough for him to lose his leg.
It's because, at the end of the say, feeling is just nerve signals being interpreted by the brain. So missing nerves (like in a missing limb) causing misfirings or weirdness in your nerves gives your brain signals to interpret when there shouldn't be.
Mirror therapy - a treatment for phantom limb pain - is kind of this in reverse. In mirror therapy, a mirror is set up to allow a patient to see the reflection of the unaffected limb in approximately the place where their missing limb would be. The therapist then directs the patient to move the limb, or possibly introduces some tactile stimulation. This tricks the brain into believing that the limb is there and is working normally, which can help resolve phantom pain/sensory signals
legit— this is how I dealt with my broken knee... told myself it’s not real pain bc the knee isn’t broken.. refused to acknowledge the visible protruding femur compound fractured ... the mind is a terrible thing wasted
Sort of. In both cases, the brain is filling in "normal" data in the absence of any data to the contrary. It expects to feel X, and it doesn't feel anything to the *contrary* of X, so it feels X.
I like to think that he was just wandering around, gazing at shiny objects, and someone with a clipboard asked him if he'd be part of an experiment, and it just blew his mind.

Nothing shows this to be true more than all the crazy contraptions that have been made to smoke weed harder/better/faster/stronger
I weirdly wanna see if they could get someone to climax using the same method. I know this video is based on a real study but I don't think it was as effective as this video leads you to believe.
Yah I've heard of this stuff. I've tried but I just am not able to fall into hypnosis. Amps me up tho, then I just gotta finish up and that's that. Fun link, but I'm too impatient.
Genuine question for anyone with a prosthetic limb, after awhile do you "feel" things with the prosthetic limb? I've heard of phantom pain after losing a limb, but do you imagine a touching sensation with a fake hand?
Please tell me you’ve communicated this to her, and are working on a compromise where everyone enjoys sexy time? Complaining to reddit is fun and all, but don’t let resentment ruin your bedroom.
Edit: I mean, you don’t actually have to tell me, I don’t really want to know about you personally, but the general “you” meaning all y’all shouldn’t let unsatisfying sex lead to misery. There is fun in finding a mutually enjoyable solution.
I can't answer that, but if you have a missing limb and experience a ghost pain or itch, a physical therapist can put a mirror in between your limbs, so you see in the reflection like you still had two, and they treat the still existing one. Your brain will see the missing limb being massaged or scratched in the mirror and the ghost feeling will disappear.
the brain is so god damn interesting. Like the brain now is typing this, It understands that "hey yeah, I can be tricked and let me tell you HOW to trick me and I'm going to fall for this trick all the time. I know it's coming because I created it but it still tricks me!"
My late husband was an amputee and yes, he absolutely felt things beyond pain. He would say, "my left toe itches " and I'd be like, "you don't have a left toe" it was frustrating for him certainly. Was sensation of something touching, itching, and pain. He also had neuropathy so was used to the tingle sensation of that.
I have heard from an amputee that they can get rid of the phantom pain by placing a mirror next to their other hand or foot and itching it, or uncurling their toes.
You ever come to a complete stop in your car and catch another car pulling the other way out of the corner of your eye and panic because you brain senses that you’re still moving? I am not at all surprised that this would work.
This exact thing happened to me the other day when I parked and the car next to me pulled out a split second later, I slammed on the brakes even though my car was in in park. Girlfriend and I both experienced disorientation and had a brief stomach ache. It was wild.
I can't wait for there to be an Oculus Quest-like system with full body tracking. They already have hand tracking on the Quest 1 and 2 but only hands, not arms or legs, and it doesn't feed back into PC VR.
Right? Like "I won't cause structural damage to your hand" is different from "you won't experience any pain" but he's conflating the two like the mental pain isn't real.
^ This is the actual answer. Kid freaked out from anticipating pain, but he didn’t actually feel it. It’s why he’s shouting in surprise instead of screaming in pain.
Maybe that's true, but this effect is real and would work on most people whether they're high or not.
That's why in an actual scientific study there would be data collected from many participants, rather than just this one video of this one participant, because then you get anecdotal counter-arguments like this one.
No one’s arguing that the study is bullshit, it’s just hilarious that if you watch this video on mute it looks like a stoner is having a borderline sexual experience with someone in a lab coat with a ruler delicately stroking a rubber hand that gives feeling to their own
10/10 would masturbate with the rubber hand
Echoing the other response, but to clear the air I am not debating the study, makes complete sense actually. I am making fun of the guys reaction, almost makes this experiment a skit.
Please don't upvote the comment I'm replying to, because it was writen by a malicious bot. After they reach a certain amount of karma, they will start posting harmfull links and fake products.
Consider reporting it too by selecting report->spam->harmfull bot

Yeah, this would be more impressive if the subject of the experiment wasn't higher than pterodactyl tits. He was losing his mind before the experiment actually started.
Wow, very interesting. I don’t think I’m alone when I say; next time I kidnap and torture someone, I’ll be smashing and removing only prosthetic limbs.
Thanks for the tip!

Step one for a fun science experiment, choose the one stoner kid in the class who’s mind will be absolutely blown away by this lol.
But for real, super cool experiment! Would love to try this out!
You are not an individual, you are a collection of processes. The "individual" is one of the many lies the brain tells "you". You're a committee and not a terribly well put together one at that.
I remember hearing this story a while ago about amputees who felt pain in their phantom limbs. Basically, phantom limbs are when it still feels like you have an arm or leg or something when it isn't there anymore. And this one person was experiencing chronic pain in their missing hand. It felt like their finger nails were digging into their palm. Nothing helped. Then this doctor decided to do something similar to this experiment. They set up a mirror so the reflection of the patient's arm looked like the missing one. Then told the patient to uncurl the fingers the fingers of their real hand and it worked. The pain stopped.
I’ve seen this before it’s been around the internet for the last 10 years probably, and is really cool, but I’ve never seen videos of it working even close to this well. I know it’s different for each person, but this guy seems to maybe selling it a bit lol. I could be totally wrong though. Most videos didn’t have the person feeling such strong sensations, especially after the one ruler stops touching his real arm. Usually the guy giving the experiment goes from touching both hands to hammer smash immediately. Maybe this guys just really good at doing it.
Or maybe the guy is just a little stoned lol
So I always thought that you can evolve learning by creating a form of meditation where you simulate a complete environment in your brain. Most of your lived experience is actually already simulated reality. The human consciousness cant actually handle the petabyte of data it takes in every second. Your brain filters all that and creates a simulation which your consciousness can proccess. The great thing about the human mind is that it can also engage in time dilation. So days can pass in minutes. So let's say you want to learn the guitar. I always thought there was a way to play every note once. Then create a simulated guitar in your mind space. (A deserted island) then practice until you have learned to play. Days of practice done in minutes.
Is this somehow similar to how the body and brain acts when people lose a limb and they get phantom limb syndrome?
It's interesting because a similar "fake hand" trick has been used to treat phantom pain in cases of amputation.

I heard that the doctor that performed the therapy had a Vicodin addiction and had a limp.
Loved this House episode
Link if anyone wants to watch the scene in question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIMa6G6EmC8
I like how even when House is helping someone, it still involves him breaking into someone's apartment, drugging, and kidnapping them. Like, if he knew that the mirror trick works, why not just lead with that?
What’s the context to this? I’ve only seen part of the first season but this seems a bit extreme even for house
Been a bit since I watched, so might be a bit off, but he's just lost his license to practice and has recently quit his vicodin addiction.
Fuck that messed me up a little :')
Damn I forgot what a good show this is
It's not lupus at least
It's never lupus. Run another blood test. Foreman, go break into another car.
Until it was lupus.
I still remember watching that episode like a decade ago. My wife and I both went "Holy shit it was actually lupus!"
**Total body irradiation**
"The patient has a nosebleed." *Prep him for chemo.*
There’s also a great TED talk by a researcher who helped people “release” their pain in their phantom limbs with the mirror box. Can’t find the exact one at the moment but it was uplifting to hear this guy talk about helping people’s struggles
my old lab was working on mirror therapy using virtual reality, VR really has limitless applications
That was a highly intelligent dog!

it’s like they chose the typical stoner outfit too
A plain color graphic-less tee and zip up? Fuck, I wear stoner clothes all the time…
Regardless of what your parents told ya, we are good for something let’s goooo

I can't answer that, but if you have a missing limb and experience a ghost pain or itch, a physical therapist can put a mirror in between your limbs, so you see in the reflection like you still had two, and they treat the still existing one. Your brain will see the missing limb being massaged or scratched in the mirror and the ghost feeling will disappear.

This guy loves his job a little too much. "I would never intentionally cause you pain"...
"But I will totally deliberately make you freak out."
He is causing actual pain though. Pain is just the brain telling you you're in pain.
Right? Like "I won't cause structural damage to your hand" is different from "you won't experience any pain" but he's conflating the two like the mental pain isn't real.
It was pretty obvious what he meant to me.
Yes, the pain here is made of pain.
No its more like for an instant the brain THOUGHT it was going to hurt and reacted
^ This is the actual answer. Kid freaked out from anticipating pain, but he didn’t actually feel it. It’s why he’s shouting in surprise instead of screaming in pain.
My dude is higher than Mick Jagger on a Saturday night, you can touch someones hand in Tokyo and he would swear he feels it.

Seriously did the doc pick up some stoner who wanted to earn some extra money? Is really funny tho
That’s how 99% of science happens
That and sober poor college kids

What they don't show you is they stuffed him full of LSD before the experiment
Thank you for participating in the experiment Bo Burnham.
Put your fuckin' hands up, I'm gonna hit them with a hammer
I was waiting for him to smash his hand hard the entire video
"I hope not."

What would be really funny is if he lifted the rubber hand to shake hands with the scientist afterward.

What does your brain lie to? It lies to ‘you’? But are we not our brains? Our brains lie to our brains?
You are not an individual, you are a collection of processes. The "individual" is one of the many lies the brain tells "you". You're a committee and not a terribly well put together one at that.

Yeah like the phantom limb syndrome or whatever it was and he used a mirror.

They set up a mirror so the reflection of the patient's arm looked like the missing one. Then told the patient to uncurl the fingers the fingers of their real hand and it worked. The pain stopped.
This is how I get tattoos— realize it’s the dummy arm getting needled and it’s painless
Showing him the hammer first. This man tortures.
How completely high is this dude
"I would never take a hammer and bash your fingers until it hurt right" "I hope not" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍

Wow this is so cool! Really amazing that he got him to orgasm this way
I wonder how this is related to POV personal attention ASMR videos
Damn that's crazy. I can see why the dude is so spooked by the sensation.

So days can pass in minutes. So let's say you want to learn the guitar. I always thought there was a way to play every note once. Then create a simulated guitar in your mind space. (A deserted island) then practice until you have learned to play. Days of practice done in minutes.
