| Challenge: | Health | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Renfrew County | | City: | Pembroke, ON | | School: | | | Abstract: | The experiencing of body parts that are not present on your body is called a ‘Phantom Limb’. This experiment was conducted to test if the brain of a non-amputee accepts a simulated phantom limb as part of their body. This technique utilizes the phantom limb sensation to help with proper and faster reorganization of altered sensory and motor maps in brain. |
