How can someone feel pain or sensation in a limb that no longer exists? In this episode of Mind Theory, we explore the fascinating phenomenon of phantom limb syndrome. Drawing from both historical and modern medical theories, we’ll dive into how the brain creates the illusion of sensation in amputated limbs, and what this reveals about the mind-body connection. We’ll discuss the neurological roots of phantom limb pain, the role of consciousness, and treatments like mirror therapy that aim to "trick" the brain into relief. Discover how this mysterious syndrome challenges long-standing ideas about how our bodies and minds interact.
