So it's stroke, stroke, tap, tap in the air. And he felt the rubber, like his own hand was floating in the air. It was kind of spooky. Wow. He went, my God, what's happening?

And I do want to differentiate between plasticity and then the dynamic nature of the function of the modules of the brain. So, for example, you have, in terms of the rubber hand illusion, it shows that, for example, we have a structure called the TPJ right here, temporal parietal junction is the fancy name for that.

That structure is important for taking all the sensory modalities, touch, hearing, feeling, right? So, smelling and sort of unifying that into a whole. That's a cortical area? It's a cortical area. Where is it located? It's called a TPJ. So, it's temporoparietal junction. So, it's kind of strategically located between the different sort of areas. occipital somatosensory region and the temporal.
