  • @gwschwinge and by "relaxing" you mean turning you on, right?

  • I keep watching this because the paintbrush on the fingers is really relaxing.

  • @mull20641 yes in many of these experiments the hand is stabbed at the end, and many test subjects scream in pain

  • @mull20641 haha not quite my friend its a sight illusion not a touch illusion. You mean to say if the real hand and fake hand was WACKD... yes it would appear to the brain like the fake hand felt the pain!

  • So this is why watching porn makes it feel better .

  • His words were huge! Hahaha Thts what's she said ;)

  • what happens if you hit the fake hand with a hammer

  • I've seen enough Japanese TV to know where this is going.

  • lol what if the lady stabbed the rubber hand with a knife?, what would she feel?
