Chapter 2 Summarization

Chapter 2 basically talked about phantom limbs and stories that were related to that. A phantom limb is when the patient is not crazy, but he/she is given the impression that their missing body part is still there, even though they KNOW it's not. An example that was used was of a guy named Tom. Also, our lips and fingers are highly sensitive to touch, which is why Tom couldn't identify correctly where the scientist placed the Q-Tip on him. You can also do this activity using the technique magnetoencephalography, also known as MEG.
