The Mystery of Phantom Limbs

The video explores the concept of Phantom Limb, an illusion where amputees feel sensations in missing limbs. It explains how the brain constructs reality, sometimes leading to phantom sensations. An experiment is described where a fake arm is stroked alongside a real one, causing the brain to perceive two arms. The video highlights the brain's role in body perception and the absence of pain sensation within the brain, allowing neurosurgeons to operate while patients are awake.
