| Introduction | Taking into perspective current research on phantom limb sensations, and the ability of human sensory system to integrate different modalities we allow ourselfs to discuss and experiment with body-mind relation, lifespam of the sensation and work of imagination. |
| Interests | Broadly speaking phantom sensation refers to "dissociations between physical and phenomenal body shapes" (Hilti and Brugger, 2009), and its clinical descriptions refer to conscious perception and sensation of body parts that are paralysed or are no longer present. The nature of it remains ungraspable by the scientific method: in search of cure for some phantom sensations that cause pain, more than 50 different therapeutic approaches have been developed (Weiss, 2008). In our approach phantomic experience of reality relates to the life cycle of the sensation. In the end when we think about the phantom sensations, we can actually see it as something very natural - as a prolonged or sustained process of adaptation to a different/new environment in which certain stimuli is physically no longer present. |
