00:00I have an experiment that we're going to do today. I'm going to train your brain to believe that this hand, this arm, is your arm.
00:13You see we've got this divider here. So right now you can kind of see your arm. You see the arm there.
00:18I'm going to cover over part of your arm. Now I'm doing that because your eyes talk to your brain.
00:24Uh-huh. And your eyes tell you this is what's happening. So now can you physically see your arm, your right arm here?
00:31No. Great. So I'm going to take these two classroom rulers. So we're going to train the sensations.
00:37You feel the rulers touching your hands because it's now becoming one with your mind that this right hand is your right hand.
00:48Right? You are believing that as I drag the ruler on your right hand there.
00:55It totally feels. That it is in fact in your brain, your right hand.
01:01Yeah. It totally feels like my hand. That's crazy.
01:05Feel the sensations. Yeah. Line up with each finger. What?
01:10Whoa, yo, this is crazy. Yeah. So now if I just do like a little tap.
01:17Uh-huh. Right? Yeah. Feel the knuckles. Uh-huh. Feel each digit.
01:24Oh. Oh, nice.
01:29Okay, this is where. That's correct. Yeah. Now I'm going to do this one more time to train your brain.
01:35Okay. All right. So you feel your thumb.
01:40Oh. Okay. Yeah. And your index finger.
01:47Little finger. This is nuts.
01:51Ring finger. Oh my goodness. And your pinky finger.
01:57And now you're going to feel it when I tap it. Feel that? Yeah. And that. Whoa.
02:10I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I have not been using the other ruler.
02:15What? Feel that? Yeah. I am not using the ruler.
02:22Oh. What are you? I mean, it's crazy. It's not. Oh. Whoa. You felt that, right?
02:28And even like. Oh, no. Yeah. Oh.
02:33We're going to do a little test. Now, again, this is all in your mind.
02:37Retraining your brain to feel sensations. Okay.
02:41But your brain is thinking that it's feeling it. Okay.
02:45So even if it gets a little, what would be considered painful, I will not be harming you.
02:50Because, of course, I'm not going to be actually hitting your right arm.
02:54But your brain really believes that this is, in fact, your right hand.
03:00Oh, this is making me numbness. All right. Okay.
03:03Okay. I'll start lightly. Feel that on the front. Whoa. Yeah.
03:10Oh. Whoa.
03:15Are you feeling it? I'm totally feeling it in this hand. It feels in feet.
03:19It just, oh.
03:22Oh.
03:27Whoa. This is so strange.
03:29You feel that? Yeah. I want to move my hand, but it feels like a kai khan.
03:41What's that for?
03:44Now, again, I would never on purpose hurt you, right? Okay.
03:48And I would never take a hammer and bash your fingers to where they would hurt, right?
03:53I would hope not.
03:54But, again, your brain is going to tell you that you're going to feel this when, in fact, I'm not actually going to be causing any damage to your hand.
04:05Okay. All right? Okay.
04:06And we'll start lightly again. Okay? Okay.
04:09You ready? Yeah.
04:10Here we go.
04:11Very lightly. Here we go.
04:18Oh, it's so, it's so weird.
04:21Oh, the infamous thumb when you're hammering, missed the nail.
04:32Oh, you know, it feels like an electric shock. It's so strange.
04:35Doesn't it?
04:36Oh, even when I touch myself.
04:39Yeah. Watch this. Watch this. One last electric. Watch this. You ready for this one?
04:44Okay.
04:45Guess which finger I'm going to hit. Okay.
04:47Guess which finger. See if you can tell me which one it is.
04:50Now, again, I did not actually hurt you, did you? You didn't feel actual pain in your real hand.
05:01But for an instant, your brain told you that you were thinking that you felt a hammer hitting your hand.
05:09My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:11My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:12My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:13My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:14My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:15My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:16My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:17My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:18My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:19My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:20My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:21My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:22My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:23My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:24My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:25My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:26My brain thought that that's just my hand.
05:27My brain thought that that's just my hand.
